I am looking to upgrade my core platform (to Ryzen). I am currently on an i7 4770, Msi B45M-E45 motherboard and 24gb DDR3 RAM. I have already shortlisted the MSI B450m Mortar Max motherboard and 32gb of DDR4 3200mhz memory.Right now, I am confused between these processors-
Ryzen 7 2700x, which is now available at discounted prices
Ryzen 7 3700x
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:
Adobe Photoshop CC 2019
Adobe Lightroom CC
Corel Draw X8
DaVinci Resolve 16
I only game occasionally. Gaming performance is not a priority.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: Approximately 50-55k
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: No
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 10
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: Already have 2 HDDs and an SSD
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: No. Already have a dual monitor setup
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: HDD, SSD, Graphics Card (Galax GTX 1060 6gb), PSU (Corsair CX650m 80+ Bronze), Cabinet, Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, UPS, Speakers, Cooler (120m AIO)
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: Right away
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: Yes, Will build it myself.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Jorhat, Assam. Will mostly purchase from MDComputers or VedantComputers
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: I would be happy to buy the 2700x at the current discounted prices. However, being a 105W TDP processor, I suspect I would have to invest in a high end AIO cooler later, in which case it could be wiser to go for the 3700x, given its 65w TDP. Ambient temperatures in my location may rise up to 35-37 degrees C with upwards of 85% humidity.
Would love to hear experiences from current 2700x owners on the cooling solutions that they have employed.
I also understand that the R5 3600 too would be adequate for my purpose, but I would like to upgrade to the 8 core 16 thread config.
P.S: I own a 120mm Cooler Master AIO, which I would like to reuse with the new processor.
