ebabil Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Hi guys I have been using intel & nvidia duo for aloong time. But i am planning to replace my granpa 2600k. I have currently: 500 gb SSD 1 TB HDD GTX 1070 So, i plan to buy CPU, Ram, Mobo this summer. I am low on budget so i have two basic options Ryzen 2600 and i5 8400 My biggest activity on pc is DCS. I also want to keep a chance to upgrade this systemin the future. For instance 8700k maybe 9700k etc. Which one i should buy? and why?

Rudel_chw Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Both processors are similar, but the intel is 15% faster on single thread performance, so if the overall price (cpu+mobo+ram) is similar, I would go with the Intel one. You might consider also the core i5 9400f, which is a tiny bit faster than the 8400 and should be cheaper.

DocSigma Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 At this stage in the game, I'd wait a little longer for the Ryzen2's and see if any of those fit into your budget.

DeltaMike Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I didn't intend to go amd intentionally, just worked out that way. I'm delighted with my El cheapo b450 Mobo, wasn't as impressed with ryzen2 cpu. Have high hopes for ryzen 3. I think there's an argument for ream red but I'd wait for ryzen3 this July, see if it lives up to the hype.

Strong05 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Depending on what your goals are for your system you may want to consider the i3 8350k. If you're not already I would highly encourage you to pursue a system that is overclockable as DCS really prefers high clock speeds and does not benefit from multiple cores. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117823&Description=i3&cm_re=i3-_-19-117-823-_-Product 5800X3d, 32GB DDR4@3400, 6800 xt, Reverb G2, Gunfighter/TMWH
