[HELP] Best Value Ryzen upgrade suggestions

[cheetz]

Hi bros

Looking to upgrade my CPU/Mobo & Casing. Last time i upgraded these was at least 5 years ago.

Am looking at the AMD Ryzens 3/5 and Fractal Design Cases. Looking to get "best bang for your buck".

Anyone in touch with the market care to drop some suggestions?

mid to budget gaming/entertainment (possibly 4k? but nothing intensive)

So does using ryzen 2 = no need buy gpu if not gaming intensively? Ok for 1080p utube / csogo dota?

 

[Wataru]

For those who dont really need to play PUBG at 1080p High or Ultra, all i have to say is wait for the Ryzen APUs (esp the 2400G)

ryzen 2 so far i dun think that its a APU though...its will be the same as ryzen without any gpu in it.

only if u get RB(Raven Ridge) den that is what u mean.

If your current rig PSU is 5 years old, can consider get a new one.

My assumption is that it's enough. But can't be sure until the product is out and reviewed.

If i could use intel 530 to watch 4K content..and some casual gaming at Fullhd

It will be a laughing stock if ryzen 2 couldn't.

To clarify things for all,

Current gen= Ryzen ( no IGP )
Upcoming April refresh= Ryzen+ ( no IGP )
Upcoming Ryzen w IGP = Raven Ridge

* IGP = integrated graphics

Ryzen 2 is not on the horizon yet...

No it can't because it doesn't have an integrated GPU.

Ryzen 2 is expected to launch in Q1 this year.

I always thought some ryzen 2 (desktop) comes with apu. Not all though. No?

Just wait till Feb2018?

 

[batniss]

https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/ars...ruary-second-generation-ryzen-in-april/?amp=1

February 12 will see the launch of desktop APUs. In the second quarter, Ryzen Pro Mobile parts—more or less identical to the regular Ryzen Mobile parts but with the lifecycle guarantees that enterprise buyers often demand for their fleets—will be released



Of course, it is still tentatively. Might fall though

Ryzen 2 is expected to launch in Q1 this year.

2nd gen Ryzen or Zen+ (Pinnacle Ridge CPU) is targeted to launch April 2018. That's Q2. Q1 is the launch of Raven Ridge APU.

To clarify for those who don't know, Raven Ridge APU is based on 1st gen Ryzen (14nm) design while upcoming Pinnacle Ridge is a refined Ryzen architecture (12nm), namely Zen+ (or Ryzen 2 for some people who wanted to call it that way). Difference other than the architecture, is that APU comes with integrated GPU (like Intel) while CPU does not.
