ok guys so my new case has arrived today and want to start putting somethings in it to build my pc

I want to start from scratch so will need:

CPU
motherboard
ram
psu

I will sort the gpu out later will be going rtx 2070 I think

my question is what is best for gaming

I was leaning towards intel i7 as I have previously got an i5 at the moment
but looking at amd as they are a little cheaper

I only game at 1920x1080 but want the to be able to play games at a high setting
like anthem,divison 2,cod them sort of games
just brought a new monitor msi mag271c 27"
I have ssd drives already
and will have a cpu cooler on order

just need help in deciding which route to go

I wont be overlocking anything as I don't know how so will all be stock

cheers all

What's your budget ? And what case did you get as will determine case ?

Also what's your current hardware?

But gaming at 1080p, high setting and over 60hz monitor , you'd be looking at intel as it pushes a head of ryzen a fare bit .
As for overclocking , easy. Just emblem MCE - multi core enhancement in a board and it'll overclock all cores to max single frequency . Need a good cooler though .

Or cheaper route, non K 8700 and B360 board. I7 8700 still clocks faster then a ryzen and faster FPS at 1080p.

All MSI Freesync monitors are G-sync enabled... It'll be official when Nvidia get around to it .

But could just grab Vega 56/64 for a good price and 3 free games...
 
I have just had this case

Thermaltake Level 20 MT ARGB Midi Tower - Black Window

my current hardware is a little outdated

i5 2600k 3.3Ghz
gigabyte Z68AP-D3 motherboard
12gb ram ddr3 corsair vengeance
asus strix 1050ti
550w power supply I think of the top of my head

budget I don't know seeing a few prices from different sites around £400-£600

I will get the GPU last once I have everything in place

thinking of buying this cooler to match the case

Thermaltake-Water-3.0 ARGB-Liquid-Cooling 120mm fan

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £600.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)
​

cooler would be able to handle it .

9600k would give you extra 2 cores and £100 saving instead of the extra 4 cores of the 9700k. overclock either to 5ghz and should be a stunning performer for 1080p 144hz gameplay!
