You have two setups you can swap parts between. The first has an Intel Core i5-7400 and a 1050 Ti, the second has an AMD Ryzen 7-4970 and a 1060 with 6GB RAM. Which configuration would work better together? The 1060 with 6GB RAM paired with an i5 or i7 seems more balanced.
The i7 with the 1060 would be preferable. You're looking for the hyperthreading capabilities of the i7. Just remember not to install the i7 on the motherboard where your current i5 is, since they use different sockets. I understand you mentioned this earlier in a different thread.
Yes, that's right. The i7 processor wouldn't fit on the current motherboard, so you'd need a different one.
I agree, but since you're using DDR3, I'd consider swapping out the 16GB RAM for your current DDR4 setup with an i5 7400. It's unclear if it would make a difference, especially since 16GB is crucial for certain games.
16GB DDR3 is reasonably priced on eBay. I might sell both CPUs and the motherboard, then purchase an i7-7700.
