R5 3600 versus R7 2700 plus 1080
Currently I'm running: i5 7600k GTX 1080 16GB 2400mhz DDR4 If you can't already tell, there is a bottleneck. So, I'm looking for a new CPU and probably motherboard. When I asked about a 1080 being good with my 7600k, people said I could live with it and then get a R5 3600 later down the line, but I'm very budget and questioning other options. With a R5 3600 going for about £140 including a cooler, I saw that a R7 2700 (Non X) goes for about £128. Is the R5 3600 worth the extra stretch? Also, I'm going to be replacing my RAM with 3200mhz and getting a B450 motherboard. Also, are there any better options for the same price than the 2700 or 3600? I play at 1080p with a 144hz monitor, and also do VR quite a bit. (With my 7600k VR has honestly been quite awful, with constant stutters and freezes)
1080p with 144Hz delivers 3600 frames per second. The earlier RYZEN models don’t perform well for high refresh rate gaming.
