I suggest you buy whatever monitor you want to max out at first though.

The 3770K is still a very capable CPU, but I would start upgrading parts you can bring forward at this point. Leave Ivy Bridge with DDR3 in the past and not spend another dime on that core.

A new gaming rig is estimated at $420-450 if you're smart and frugal about it.
Go Ryzen, Intel lost, also with the Ryzen all you will need is 4gig GPU and that chip will handle the rest.
No. If you’re going 1080p, medium, then maybe. The CPU is not going to make up for a budget GPU, regardless of whether it is Intel or AMD. There’s no way that $420 is gonna let you play at 1440p or 4K, never mind with a 144hz monitor. If you’re going to only spend $420, it’s better to just buy a PS4 pro or X1X

Cheapest math I can do on the used market is
Ryzen 5 1600 - 120
Am4 b350 40
8gb ddr4 ram 60
Garbage psu 25
Garage case 20
Rx 480 probably mined with 170
Ssd 30
Hdd 20
Monitor 1080/144hz 140
If he means like the 2400G those are trash with frame rates it’s built for the guy playing wow or simple wants to play a game with zero knowledge involved
Going for a budget build for music/gaming at 1080p. Any cpu using a lga 1151 intel base i can cop for the sub 300 bucks?
@CiggavelliSo that Anthem demo was running on two 1080 TI's in SLI at E3...
But watch it somehow NOT support SLI when it officially launches on PC
8600K
Ryzen must have that secret sauce

Ryzen must have that secret sauce
They gave up some video editing power to focus on gaming..which is literally 99% of the market.....they now own, said market....and at these prices dear zeus...
The PG27UQ is giving me lighting problems like a gloomy kind of look. I'm going to exchange it for another. So far with AA off, I've played several games like counterstrike in 4K, all games are struggling to reach over 100 fps in 4k.
RX Vega 56 and 64 is tripping my Corsair SF600 wtf even underclocked, even the 1080 ti doesn't do that. So if you are ever looking at a Vega card, be-careful with the powersupply you are using.
Intel stopped being front runners of great things in the consumer PC market.
I love AMD but I hope nvidia next line of cards puts the final coffin to the bullshyt AMD radeon is pulling.

I didn’t realize you got that monitor. Nice. Definitely exchange it. For $2K it better be perfectThe PG27UQ is giving me lighting problems like a gloomy kind of look.

I don't think AMD is trying to tank in the GPU market, I think they realized they didn't have the R&D budget to compete with both NVIDIA and Intel.
They had to right the ship with their CPUs before they could do anything.
Looking back, buying ATI might have been a bad thing.
I wonder how the PC space would be if the AMD had bought NVIDIA instead before settling on ATI.
