[2018] Building Ryzen Rig - Need Advice

[Tartar Sauce]

Quick question: is the 2700x worth it over the 2600x? Almost $150 more but I don't see any performance improvements in the benchmarks reviews online..

For games, not really. Unless the game you wanted to play is using multicore and thread effective. Which isn't a lot, mainly only the AAA titles. 2600X is budget tier gaming + streaming processor without breaking the bank.

For popular esports titles and 144hz gaming, Intel still reign supreme with high single core IPC and speed.

For multi cores and threads applications, like rendering, media production, streaming while gaming, deep learning, VMs, then ya. The 2700X make a lot more sense. Even the Threadripper make sense for these applications.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I'm planning to do a single pc streaming so I guess it would make better sense to just get a 2700x
You really a gem to HWC hahaha

Oh my. It's just a brief explanation. Not detailed and technical enough actually. Just generalization most. Hahaha.

But I'm glad I'm able to help you with deciding. Thank you for your compliment
