@drezha for the first time in my life I started looking at amd cpu that night.
I’m thinking of maybe later in the year, getting a Ryzen 5 1600 (not The x seems little gains, give you can clock both to 4Ghz). With ram you could set up a fine pc for £400, (with gpu).
I said I would like to avoid ddr4 as I have a stack of ddr3 I’d like to reuse. But after a quick, very quick at 4am) look about, I think the 1600 looks one of the best bang for bucks.
The 1600 will clock to 4GHz with the included cooler, the 1600x will also easily clock to 4GHz but doesn’t come with a cooler. So unless I’m missing somthing, I don’t really see the advantage of the X model.
The only thing holding me back is, I’ve only ever had one amd and it was terrible. Granted it was a cheap office box pc. Still it was horrible compared to my pentium 4. So we are going way back.
