My CPU Needs?

[P4Clock]

I have decided its time for a new system as my is dated. I am good g with amd and will looking at ryzen 1700/1700x but a friend said why not get a quad core ryzen as there me t to be killer? The ones with hyper threads

My mine use is a general home pc. But on a week end I like to game at 1440, games like battlefield and fifa

When would be the cup for me. I want the build to last a long time 3year+ would be nice.

Mmm you have to love auto fix on my phone.

Any of these cups will do, and they do a brilliant job : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lifestyle-and-gadgets/ocuk-merchandise/mugs

As for CPUs, what's your overall budget? All Ryzen 5+ CPUs have SMT (Intel calling it HT). The quad cores will have 8 threads and works pretty well, but the 6 cores/12 threads aren't that expensive either. You could go for that and then used the money saved for a stronger GPU which will matter more on that resolution.

EDIT: Corrected

My budget is good up to the 1700x but if of of the 4c8t cpu's will do the job I word be happy to get that.

I wouldn't get just a 4c4t amd cpu.

I had a 4770k but ever the board or cpu is dead.

I think at this time I would like to give amd a go. Getting the best of the best for me is not really that important I just want a good system that gets the job done

Some of the 1700 and 1700X offers are tempting right now.

That's why I was looking at them, was asking about the 4c8t cpu's just because a friend said there supposed to be kick ass for the price

Might be worth holding off on the cup and wait for the mug that comes out next year. It's bigger and better

About 11hrs too late but al fake a giggle to make you feel good.
Also the mugs are on sale now.

I haven't used the 4c 8t Ryzen chips, but the 8 cores are beasts for the price.

I have no plans to upgrade for a long time so I will go with the 1700/1700x

Think it's stable, get a random crash 2 days later, try to work out if it's the RAM or the CPU voltage, think you've fixed it again.... etc.

I love overclocking but it's not child's play.

It can be child's play depending on how hard you push. And how well you chose your parts
