Looking at the new amd chip raw pre-release info and likely prices I see what you mean... I'll likely go 3700x I'd think, but we'll see. Does lower power/tdp likely mean quieter too, all other things being equal? (3700x is 65tdp, 3800x is 105 and am drawn to the 65...) 3700x hit the sweet spot nicely in terms of cost and performance. The real question really is what board to use. I just replaced one of my older gaming PC with a 3700x and Asus board. Bought a bundle off AWD-IT which worked out 50 quids cheaper than most other retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're going to be playing lots of twitch-shooter games like Counter Strike or Overwatch, you won't need a 120Hz screen, as you won't be hitting those frame rates with that graphics card unless you're running AAA games on medium. And for most games? Nah, the difference between 2400 and 2666 RAM would be minimal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside (and I use that term losely) is that you are going from 1050 4gb graphics card to the 1050 2gb graphics card. For FM the 1050 2gb would be good enough and no difference in the 1050 4gb in terms of FM. However, obv the 1050 4gb is better card - as meaningless it is for FM - the original one you selected is cheaper. If you want to go for that - i recommend upgrading your RAM to 16 or 32 gb when you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly better for processor - but no dedicated graphics card - which I don't think should be a problem. This first one shows that overall the i5-7200u is a better processor. This one below shows relatively same performance in single core performance - which is where a lot of the work is done for FM. As you can see the graphics are similarly ranked Yes - the refurbished computer is better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want something really cool - I recommend this - it would be an excellent and better replacement for the macbook air https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/3ZH26EAABU-HP-EliteBook-1050-G1_2367695.html Battery Life 15-16 Hours (up to 16 hours with power management) Dimensions 36cm x 25.4cm x 1.89cm This is kick-ass - but it's heavier and bulkier (than the one above) https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/5WA67EAABU-HP-Pavilion-Gaming-15-cx0018na_2453614.html Equally this would be fine but it's heavier and bulkier (than the first one above) https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/FX504GD-E4127-ASUS-TUF-Gaming-FX504GD-E4127_2571126.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschland Fur Immer Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi, I am currently running FM on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2712 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) - i am largely tech illiterate - was just wondering how substantial an upgrade in speed that an i7 or i9 processor would be? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Depends on the model of the processor. You have an i5-6400. It would depend on the model of the i7 or the i9. The 6400 is ranked at 212 on this list https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html And it's ranked low enough on this list https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html As you can see on the list - there is an i7 ranked lower on both sets of data Ideally - finding a processor that's higher up the list on both lists would be ideal. Addendum: it would also be a good idea to have a minimum of 2.2ghz for the processor - as that is the minimum requirement.

Smurf Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm pretty sure all i9 processors would be a significant upgrade to the i5 6400 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So something like this, coming in at 39 on the list (i think!) would be a much stronger option compared to my current at rating 212? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/recon-ry2-amd-ryzen-5-2600-3.40ghz-value-gaming-bundle-bu-09e-og.html#t=a1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you recommended the first one earlier but judging by the amazon reviews it has a very common fault. Will look into the other, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sin embargo, sin saber el resto de las especificaciones es difícil saberlo. ¿Qué RAM y tarjeta gráfica? 16 gb ram and without gpu Edited July 24, 2019 by Topu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
