Hi, looking for some feedback if possible. My pc is coming towards the end of its useful life, and am looking to build a new one. Now before I go any further YES i have done a search on the forums but limited or no info comes back.
Anyway back to question.
I was going to build a new system based around an I7 7700K cpu until Ryzen launched. I am now tempted by a R7 1700 possibly 1700x or 1800x. Yes these maybe overkill BUT I would like to future proof as much as possible after all my current I7 920 has served well for last 7 years.
Now I know Intel is better for gaming currently and everything works, but what is putting me off is upgradability, ie would need new mobo later on.
AMD on the otherhand, although generates less frame rates then Intel is relatively future proof for next 3 years as AMD is sticking with same AM4 socket so if something better comes along in a year or 2 then can get new cpu. Downsides but sortable is memory issues for now.
At present AMD is really tempting me as like it sticking to AM4 socket allowing better cpu when ryzen v2 comes out, and hopefully memory will be sorted to allow faster RAM, BUT what info I can't really find is how well does Ryzen perform with a HEAVILY modded minecraft and shader pack running, as would like to start playing with more than 5fps again. Can Ryzen cut it and still acheive 60fps (thats all my monitor will pump out and anything more is unnoticeable anyway) OR do I need to go 7700K
Basically does anyone here run a ryzen with lots of mod and if so what is your specs and performance please
ryzen is far more future-proofed and the cpu is barely relevant in most games towards fps. a good ryzen will run anything fine. just make sure to get a good 1080, or if you're really serious about this a titan series, if you want a constant performance on modded/shader stuff.

I agree about Ryzen being a bit more future proof but with regard to fps in games yes the GPU is the be all for most games but minecraft is heavily CPU dependant isn't it? and still no info available from anywhere of people having Ryzen and heavily modded/shader packs and still getting good frame rates, ie not dropping significantly to 10fps or less like my system is now starting to do.

ie CPU, GPU, MOBO, Memory and fps
Thanks
