A PC Shop Suggests this...

[Smouch]

I'm thinking of updating my old P5Q Pro system and I contacted the same shop that I recently bought a GTX 1060 6Gb from.

 

MSI A320M Bazooka Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Processor with Wraith Spire RGB Fan

G.Skill Fortis F4-2133C15D-16GFT (2x8Gb) Ryzen DDR4

Be Quiet! Pure Base 600 Case.

 

You can see on my sig what I'd be upgrading from.

 

Price is around the $830 Australian for it.

 

I'm just looking for some constructive feedback.

 

Cheers,

Michael.

A six core AMD 1600 would be OK if you just want a gaming PC. The 1700 is more of a productivity CPU.

In Flight sim community like FSX , X plane and DCS they swear at few cores with maximum ghz, since none of the above mentioned sims utilise multicore . I know for this game Ryzen 1600 and upwards do the job for all, but might not be the best for simulators if we talk the best.

I've seen more than a few test videos that say you are right.

If DCSW Normandy is in your plans, get 2x16GB of memory.

Thanks for the replies guys,

 

I was looking at an i5 7600 processor.

 

I do have DCS, but rarely fly it. Most of my "air" time is spent with BoX or X-plane 11.

I'm loving my Ryzen 1700, best decision I could have made. Overclocked like a champ on the stock Wraith cooler.

However I also do 3D rendering etc...so this processor is the best thing out there for me.

 

If I was just a gamer I'd consider the 1600 as posted above.

Just depends on what you're doing. Games don't really stress CPU's the way most people (gamers) tend to assume.

When I get around to editing game footage or real life video footage I use Premiere Pro, CS6 for my photo editing.

 

Other than that Its mainly flying that the rig is used for.

great news mate..

 

i been looking into one of these (wanting to retire my FX-8350) currently thats on a liquid cooler that at 4.4Ghz keeps me around 22*C idle and 40*C loaded.

 

From what i saw this liquid cooler will work fine for ryzen also its same waterblock.

I have the AMD version of this system and HIGHLY Recommend it.

Swap the A320 motherboard for a B350 no matter what else you do. The B350's allow for overclocking and generally have better features. Given that they are largely the same price (your selected A320 has typical B350 price), there just isn't a reason to go with an A320. Beyond that, I recommend a 1600X over the 1700 unless you are building primarily a workstation PC. I don't know of any games that come even remotely close to stressing all 12 threads on my 1600X and the substantially higher out of the box clocks on it will give you much better gaming performance in general. This is especially true in single thread hungry games like DCS. As an added bonus, it's also cheaper despite having to buy a cooler separately). Another thing you might want to look into is some faster RAM. The entire Ryzen lineup scales better than you'd expect with faster RAM, so spending a few extra bucks there will make a difference. Just be sure the motherboard supports it (again, go with B350) and also check that the RAM is is compatible with your chosen board. Depending on exactly what you get, it may not add more than $10-20 to the build, which would still be in the realm of savings by switching from a 1700 to a 1600x. So same price overall.
