Need help configuring a PC for gaming titles like CoD, WoW, D3, Battlefield etc.
I have been trying to configure a computer and as usual torn between INTEL i5 9600k and AMD Ryzen 3600x. I know AMD is the cheaper option but I’ve have a crap history with AMD(I’m not a hater just had bad experience) so I’m sceptical😕. As for anything above i5 I’m not sure I need anything more then 6 cores? I’m not a video editor and programmer or anything like that.
need storage for pictures and videos etc that’s about it.
If anyone is willing to help that would be amazing thanks in advance if you do!😃😃. Budget about £1600.

AMD are far better than Intel with their Ryzen 3000 chips, it's made all Intels completely pointless for price vs performance.

What bad experience did you have and when? AMD are a completely different company now.

What monitor are you pairing it with, what resolution and refresh rate or make and model if you're unsure?

It will be an entire new system Spydertracks. I’ll be purchasing a new monitor to. AMD situation was about 6 years ago😅 it melted 😂😅.

Usually go for 24inch monitor and 144mhz 2560 x 1440 red. I’ll most likely order the monitor from PCS with the tower.

If you reduce the cpu to 3600, the x doesn’t perform any better but costs more.

reduce the cooler to stock, they are actually superb both for performance and noise and on the 3600, no need for anything more.

otherwise it’s perfect and will utterly destroy at 1440p 144hz

PCS don't monitor the forums, but they've posted this notice on the website:


They're still doing extremely well though but current estmates are between 13 and 15 working days (mon - fri)
