Questions and Answers
Q. I'm planning to do casual gaming @ 1080p medium settings (No streaming)
Mostly going to play games like GTA V, CSGO, Maybe COD MW2, and few others.
Was debating between the following:
Ryzen 5 3600 vs 3500
1660 Super vs 1650 super
Of course, 1660 super with 3600 is better but gets more expensive.
Would like your opinon on Ryzen 5 3500 + 1650 Super + 8GBX2 3000mhz ram
Also, would it support Cities Skylines since it's a CPU/RAM intensive game?
A. I would recommend you to opt for RYZEN 3600 and 1650 SUPER and your RAM preference. Pair it with a good 650W 80+Bronze or better PSU and it will futureproof your build. Later you may upgrade to 2060 super or RX 5700XT with these components.
Q. Is the thermalpaste pre-applied under the fan ?
A. A little pre-applied thermal solution is there with the stock cooler. However, we recommend using a third party thermal paste for better thermal performance.
Q. What is the real world difference between a ryzen 5 3500 vs a core i5 9400f
A. Both of them are more or less similar in performance. You may opt for anyone you like.
