I originally wanted to buy an i7 8700(non K), but the non availability of cheaper non overclocking motherboards drove me towards Ryzen5
My current choices are i7 3770, or go Ryzen 5 or Wait for Non overclocking motherboards to appear for i7 8700
So, between R5 1600 and i7 3770 which one of them is better for gaming?
Money is not an issue, i just wanted to know that am not necessarily degrading if i choose R5 1600 over i7 3770 in games, i asked cause some of my friends said that Ryzen is not really good for gaming, and its targeted towards workstations and am better off with an i7 3770. Also i do play a lot of CPU intensive simulation/war multiplayer games like Total War, City Skylines, Civilization, Planet side 2, Script Heavy Skyrim, PCSX2 (PS2 Emulator) and some older games that relay on strong single core performance.
I currently have an i3 2120 and was thinking about dropping an i7 3770 but i would like to know how Ryzen 5 1600 will perform in games compared to i7 3770.
