Are you purchasing these parts to complete a project or to enhance an existing one? If you're upgrading and your current setup is stable, plan for the Ryzen upgrade. For finishing a build, choose Intel—it fits your budget and offers solid performance. You'll miss out on the best upgrade route with Ryzen, but you never know what you might need next.
It's a direct comparison between clocks. The 4790k performed better than early Ryzen models when boosted. Still, I suggest going with Ryzen since it offers a smooth upgrade route. A 2600k leaves no options.
Looking at the options, a Ryzen 1400 or 2600K seems like a smart choice. The 1600AF is priced around $85, while a regular 1600 can be acquired used for $65 to $70. It’s worth the extra $10 to $15 if you’re after more performance. Unless someone offers it at a much lower price, buying one of these models makes sense unless you’re expecting a free upgrade.
My budget stands at $460 Aus, with $220 already spent on a GTX 980Ti, leaving $240 for the rest. Finding Ruben in the Australian market is proving challenging.
Alright, then just choose what suits your budget. Issue resolved at least that way.
