Mmmm, who here has gone from an older i5 to a Ryzen build? What are your thoughts? Worth or no? Not just doing gaming. I mean, mostly gaming, but I do other things every so often as well. System specs in picture.

Which ryzen

 

[Jacob Asher]

1700x or 1800x

 

[Serge Haddad]

Yeah definitely worth it

 

[Serge Haddad]

But go for the 1700X

 

[Serge Haddad]

1800X is a waste

 

[Robert Way]

the lowest cost pathway for you to go is an i7 4790K and it is still better than Ryzen 1600X in terms of Gaming.

It's a powerhouse...blows through anything I throw at it...
