Hi. Well the title is clear, I am currently trying to build a computer and the budget is very important to me. I come across some configurations and I wan to ask what prossessor is better. I know that the i5 beats the ryzen but together with the expensive motherboard it costs 50 dollars more. I want to know if its worthy. the System Usage from Most to Least Important is: Programming, Gaming, Animation, 3d modeling. Specially programming related with math: Mathlab, Graphics in 3d.
Also. I am sure about gtx 1060 but I don’t know if the 3 gb version or the 6 one. I only want to play good in 1080 no VR no other stuff.
Thanks for your help.

Currently there are mobo h410 h470 and B360 that are not as expensive as the Z370. The price difference with the B350 has greatly decreased.
For Ryzen to show its full value, it must be supplemented with 3000 or 3200 speed DDR4 RAM, special for Ryzen, such as Flarex. I5 8400 goes well with speed 2666 DDR4 memories and there is much more variety of brands and models to choose from.
Of course with 3200 speed it goes a little better but the difference is negligible. Depending on your country of residence, this can be between $ 30 or $ 70.
As other colleagues have said, if you go for Ryzen you should go with the 1600 or 2600.
GTX 1060 3G has 1152 Shader Units and GTX 1060 6G has 1280 ones. But if you are only going to play in 1080P the GTX 1060 3GB will serve you.
If the difference is 100 $ it is not worth it. if the difference is 30 $ do not hesitate and go for gtx 1060 6g.

The i5-8400 will beat the pants off the 1500x.
If you want ryzen you should at least be looking at the 1600 or 2600. The 4 core ryzen 5s should really have been made ryzen 3s.

1.
R5 1500x does not have a chance coming near to I5 8400.
R5 1600 or 2600 or higher is by far the better pick as about equivalent to I5 8400, if you like Ryzen.
I tend to ignore every single Ryzen procs under 1600 for mid to high range PC, especially for content creation.
BTW, go for 2600 if possible. Newer platform is always better for new PC.
I5 8xxx does not beat Ryzen 5 on all sort of jobs, Ryzen 5 wins on some.
The difference between I5 8xxx and Ryzen 5 is also not like heaven and earth kinda difference.
It is more down to preferences and needs e.g. I5 8xxx is the clear winner for gaming only machine.
2.
GTx1060 3GB and 6GB are different not only on VRAM size. The 6GB variant is very noticeable faster than the 3GB one.
Get the GTX1060 6GB if possible.

thank you all.
So the i5 Will be. Now, what motherboard should I buy, I though z370 were the only ones, are there cheaper? I will get the 6gb version of the 1060, So if I can reduce cost in motherboard that will be great. By the way, are there a better place in USA than Amazon to buy pc components?

As far as motherboards go it will depend on your budget but also what you want to get out of it. The B360 is real basic, the h470 is a mid range model and the z370 is the cream of the crop.
Now considering that you won’t be getting an overclockable cpu I don’t see the reason in investing in a z370 board unless you specifically need some features on it. I’d go for a h470-personally I would choose something from ASUS but thats because I have been using them for donkey years and I am familiar with them. Just look around, compare boards and read reviews online and hopefully you’ll find something to suit your needs.

i7-4790K
- The i7-4790K has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.
- For some games, a cpu with a higher clock speed, or in a technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), has better results than other CPU’s with higher core count and lower core speed.
- The i7-4790K has a higher turbo clock boost. Turbo Boost is a CPU feature that will run CPU clock speed faster than its base clock, if certain conditions are present. It will enable older software that runs on fewer cores, to perform better on newer hardware. Since games are software too, it is also applicable to them.
i5-8400
- The i5-8400 has higher Level 3 Cache. This is useful when you have substantial multiprocessing workloads, many computationally intense simultaneous processes. More likely on a server, less on a personally used computer for interactive desktop workloads.
- The i5-8400 has more cores. The benefit of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can handle a separate stream of data. This architecture greatly increases the performance of a system that is running concurrent applications.
- The i5-8400 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
- The i5-8400 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work.
And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.
