Another spec to peruse...

Hi Guys

Im looking at the following for a new smaller rig. Is there anything I am missing. I will be putting my Gigabyte 2070s into this.

Do I need X570, could I get by with X470. This is a gaming system only, how will the 3600x cope in comparison to my current rig which is an intel 8700k at 4.7k?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x TeamGroup MP34 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 Solid State Drive= £158.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit= £109.99
• 1 x Corsair SF Series 750W 80 Plus Platinum Modular SFX Power Supply (CP-9020186-UK)= £149.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Six Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £224.99
• 1 x Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset Mini-ITX Motherboard= £226.99
• 1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 240mm= £79.99
• 1 x CoolerMaster MasterBox NR200P Mini-ITX Case - Black Tempered Glass= £89.99

Total: £1,053.23 (includes shipping: £12.30)

For Ryzen ITX a B450/B550 is going to give you basically the same as a X570 as it’s not like you can really use the benefits on an ITX board, PCIe 4 is a moot point for a variety of reasons, the 3600 and 3600X have very little performance difference in most scenarios, the former is a sub £140 processor, the latter is almost £225.

Thanks Avalon. Looking at the 3600 with a 550 board and upgrading to a 4000 series when they launch.
