Braegnok Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 I would recommend spending a few more dollars and go with the Ryzen 7 2700X, X470 chipset. https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-ryzen-7-2700x-is-better-than-its-predecessors-in-every-way/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 thanks well, the 1700 is like 180$ the 2700X is closer to 300$, almost double I will consider it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard1978 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 2700x has improved clocks and improved single threaded performance also the improved the memory latency on the infinity fabric so if ya can go the 2700 x it will work on x370 mbs to but. Thier bios needs to be updated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitfit1 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 which is better to get assuming the ryzen 7 is cheaper? Assuming you are looking for the better out of the 2, then the obvious answer is the 2600x. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealNeil Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Arent they (AMD) announcing brand new CPUs and GPUs at CES in January? I'm waiting for those. They will be a lot better, at good prices. They'll probably hit the market fairly soon after CES happens. Also, the current batch of Ryzen CPUs will go down in price afterward. Look Here for the scoop. Edited December 10, 2018 by RealNeil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robAP Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 I suggest asking yourself how long you plan on keeping this 8 core chip. I was looking at the 2700x but since I knew the 3000 series would be coming next year, regardless of any announcements ahead, I knew it would be wise to wait until then if I was planning on keeping the next build for as long as my last one (8 years) so I once I saw the 1500x on sale for $139, that was the answer. I'll run it until thanksgiving next year when the 3700x hits on sale. Reason being, the 3000 series will be on the AM4 socket, so the 1500x, which BTW is running at 4.0 on all cores [email protected], hums along just fine on pc3200 ram. If you have to build a system right now, like I did, then get everything you need for futureproofing, and grab a 1400x or 1500x or something in that price range and sit for the next year. I wasn't going to spend $300 on the 2700x only for a year later to have something show up for that same price and it be 25% faster/better/stronger. It is a big leap ahead, not just a standard march.
