BUILD A QUALITY EIGHT-CORE GAMING PC
AMD has already mounted its bazooka and fired the first shots of the 2018 CPU war, with its excellent 2nd Gen Ryzen CPUs. It’s made significant headway all round, with better lightly threaded performance, and its eight core chips have also extended their lead over Intel’s 6-core CPUs in heavily multi-threaded tasks. Building a second Gen Ryzen system needs some careful forethought to get the most out of it, though, as Ryzen CPUs benefit from good cooling and fast memory. What’s more, the Ryzen 7 2700X can be quicker when it’s left at stock speed. This month, we’ve selected the best gear to create an awesome, wellbalanced and super-quiet PC based around AMD’s Ryzen 7 2700X 8-core CPU, and we’ll show you how to put it all together and set it up too.
