or the 1700 of you have money.

you won't breh, cop it. It's worth it. I have it as the cpu in my gaming PC

so why is the 1600 a better option than the 7600?

not trying to argue I just wasnt thinking of the AMD till a few hours ago

Because one the AM4 socket will be around for years to come, AMD doesn't switch sockets as much as Intel.

It has 6 cores while the 7600k has 4
It has 12 threads while the 7600k has 4, (you mentioned streaming to multiple devices was something you needed)

AND

It's cheaper than the 7600k. For price and performance I'd grab it

breh, the 1600(X) @ 4ghz is almost identical to an i7 6800k @ 4.2ghz in whichever benchmarks you choose. There's videos of it on YT.. the 1600(X) is leagues ahead of the 7600.

I tried to post the amazon link not sure why it didn't work. Its a 1440p gsync monitor

Dell Gaming S2716DG 27.0" Screen LED-Lit Monitor with G-SYNC

edit: is there a special way to post links? I can't for some reason

it messes up amazon links when it tries to embed them. sometimes I just put them in 'code' brackets

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0149QBOF0

anyway, monitor looks nice. that's a good price for gsync

Phanteks Evolv RGB. I currently have it in my system. It's considered a full case, but it's a bit smaller than the others. It's got great airflow and is pretty cheap for tempered glass

Or you could go the Corsiar 750D route. It's a good case too. I had it in my last build. It's a bit bigger, but nothing like the 900D

I was able to remove a cage that holds the hard drives to fit the card inside. I now have 2 drives that are hanging but I can hold off for a few months now before i get a new case.

So looking at forums around the 2 mobos that I see constantly mentioned are the ASRock X370 Taichi and the gigabyte gaming 3

Which are you guys recommendations?

Can't believe how expensive memory is now too

If you want a multi tasking beast. Go with Ryzen.

so an AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor is all I need? I wont regret going with AMD in a few months right

What am I missing?

I can't really figure out what makes one better that the other

They seem to have the same features

And RGB connectors built into mobos now? wth

I regret not buying the Hue strip when Amazon had it on sale
