Hi,
Thank you both Exodus and magurp244.
I will probably go with AMD 1600 as it seems truely the best choice when it comes to price and performance. or if I can wing it or wiggle into getting a lower priced, the 2600x or 2600. You both are correct, while the I5 8400 is good, and would have been better if it was around 14k the july price as aposed to 22k right now.
the 1600 along with the graphics card comes out to be slightly more expensive than the I5 8400 but then again the performance that I can squeeze out of the 1600 and graphic card thats there in post 19 as compared to a single I5 8400 would be better, or at least that is what I think. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
One question and another addon to a list of things I am looking for if any of you can help with it, as I have no experience / clue as to what would be a good inexpensive monitor to get.
The question relates to the AMD 5 2600 and the 2600X. I will likely keep everything the same and go with Exodus list in post 19 as he has truely done a fantastic job at selecting the best components while still keeping it in budget.
Will the Corsair - CX (2017) 450W power supply be able to handle the 2600X if I manage to find it at a reasonable price?
I will hop on to amazon and try to find a cheap monitor
Thanks again you both.
