Hey everyone. Comparing the Ryzen 5 3600 and I7 8700k for your needs—casual gaming, streaming, office work, and a bit of coding—makes sense. Since you won’t overclock, the choice depends on balance. The Ryzen 5 offers better performance per dollar and smoother multitasking, while the I7 8700k provides more raw power for demanding tasks. Given your setup, the Ryzen 5 should be a solid pick for everyday use.

AM4 provides a much stronger upgrade route, which is why I chose it over the 8700K version.

AM4 still holds relevance, while LGA1151 is outdated. The 8700K is designed for overclocking, and the Ryzen 5 3600 offers better performance now and in the future—potentially allowing upgrades to the 5000 series if AMD continues releasing new AM4 CPUs. You may also want to look into a more recent graphics card.

Which device are you considering—laptop or desktop? If it's a desktop, is it a typical all-in-one unit with standard components or a brand-specific model like HP?

Ultimately, the AMD option performs better over time because it supports ongoing productivity improvements for the CPU.

Support Ryzen as the top choice overall. For graphics, opt for the 1050 Ti since the R9 380 is no longer compatible, while the 1050 Ti remains available.

Die GPUs haben unterschiedliche Verfügbarkeiten und technische Spezifikationen. Die GTX 1050 Ti wurde seit 2017 erhältlich, während die R9 380 bereits 2015 auf den Markt kam. Ich weiß nicht genau, was Sie mit dem Programmieren vorhaben, aber die GTX 1050 Ti unterstützt Vulkan 1.3, die R9 380 nur 1.1. Auch OpenCL wird von der GTX 1050 Ti unterstützt, während die Radeon 2.0 DirectX nicht. Die GTX 1050 Ti bietet eine deutlich höhere Speicherdurchsatzleistung. Bei der Preisvergleich kann ich keine genauen Angaben machen, da die R9 380 seit 2017 nicht mehr verkauft wird. Ich empfehle dringend, diese Komponente zu ersetzen – auch die R9 380 verbraucht fast doppelt so viel Energie (190W gegenüber 75W TDP/TGP).

Uncertain about whether the 8700K is suitable for overclocking because of the typo, but any Intel K-series chip is acceptable for OC purposes—since non-K chips have fixed multipliers and can only be adjusted by increasing BCLK, while all Ryzen models are unlocked and can be overclocked regardless.
