I would like to pick your brain on which one of the below set ups would be better suited for Shadowlands.
Here two alternatives i have been proposed by different vendors both costing around 2.5K
Alternative 1)
Ryzen 5 5600X
Liquid Mag Corse 240r
Spectrix D41 DDDR4 3.6 MHz 8gb X 4
MSI X570 Gaming edge wifi
SSD SX 6000 Adata 512 gb pro
1 TB seagate 7200
Cooler master 750 MWE
RTX Palit 3080 10 gb game rock
Case Sharon CA 300
Alternative 2)
Intel i7- 10700KF
Asus Rog Strix Z490- A Gaming
Corsair Vengeance RGB pro DDR4 3.6 mhz 32 gb dual kit
Corsair iCUE H100i RGB pro XT liquid cooler CPU
Asusu RTX 3080 TUF Gaming 10gb GDDR6X
SSD Corsair Force MP400 NVMe m.2 type 2280 1 TB
Seagate HDD 7200 1 TB
Corsair RM750x power supply
Case Corsair Obsidian 500D
I am more inclined towards the first option as I find the Sharkoon to be quite stunning and like the idea of switching to an AMD red team CPU. Perhaps on version 1 it would be worth adding an extra 150 Euro and upgrade the CPU to the ryzen 7 5800x. Reckon it would make sense or the Ryzen 5 5600X would be enough? My goal is to keep high FPS throughout raids, dungeons and solo questing with maxed out settings.
Depends on how pressed you are for budget, but both are doing ok in the end.
Bang for the buck would be AMD at the moment and i see you’re going to use a 3080 which is very nice, might want to look at a 6800 from AMD as well to complement the setup, i’d say have a look at some benchmarks concerning performance and all.
All in all it looks like a solid build, you might want to take that Ryzen 7 if you’re going to use that horsepower on other applications as well.
Intel still have plenty of money they can use to invest to make better CPUs, so at the moment they do not need your money.
Go for the AMD option for best flexibility and performance for the money spent. Yes, FPS is nothing to worry about as long as you get a gen 2 or 3 Ryzen 3 or upwards with a decent GPU.
On processors, AMD is running circles around Intel at the moment. Even with their 11th gen, they haven’t found an answer for AMD’s Ryzen 5xxx, plus the AMD’s are more bang for the buck.
Videocards are a bit more complicated. If you want to use raytracing, I’d actually stick with Nvidia. The AMD cards are getting hammered by Nvidia in raytracing benchmarks. Also, if you’re playing in a high resolution (especially 4k+), Nvidia wins. The Nvidia cards also seem a little easier to get than the AMD cards at the moment. On the other hand, I’d probably have the tendency to wait for the leaked 3080TI to come out (rumoured to be just round the corner in the new year) as that will pretty much be a more affordable version of the 3090 specifically aimed at gaming with 20GB of VRAM on board to futureproof it.
RX 9890 has world record on overclocking on 6.6 ghz this world record was done like 12 years ago still Intel has been unavable to beat it … proff on how bad Intel realy are …
This generation even low tier AMD cpus are blowining high tier Intel CPU’s out of the water. If you care about both single/multi core perf there’s only 1 option building a new gaming PC right now and that’s AMD. Only intel fanboys or people who haven’t been up to date still buys Intel.
Go with Intel. I have an AMD atm and in wow intel always performs better. Even though I have a massive soft spot for amd I wish I went intel just for wow. It’s something to do with intel having better single core performance I think.
Which AMD cpu do you have?
Because Ryzen 5000 beats intel in single core by alot. From what I have seen its beating intel in wow aswell.
I would go with AMD atm.
Thanks guys for the feedback. I will most likely go with Alternative 1).
From my (basic) understanding besides the CPU the two set ups are pretty much alike.
I am still trying to figure out if on the Alt. 1) the ryzen 5600X would be sufficient or if the 5800x would provide a nice improvement.
I’d go directly with the 5800x but apparently it’s harder to find in my location whereas my vendor has a few ryzen 5600X already available.
