cheapest cpu to pair with a Vega 56

[robwigan]

based on my feed back on GPUs what's the best value option in terms of a cpu and motherboard with Vega 56?

based on what iv seen it's a ryzen. I desperately need to build a new one I know there are releases coming but it cant be put on hold any longer.

please reccomend a cpu Ryzen or Intel with suitable motherboard to put with the Vega gpu.

thanks In advance -looking to get this all built over the weekend

this, leaning heavily towards the 2600 if in your budget.

does this compare/ beat its i5 equivalent? been out of the game since well before ryzen.

is it better than a 4670 ?
