If you want one customized configuration, free advice and help with the choice of components, come and visit us in our dedicated telegram group!

Which gaming configuration to choose?

Our goal is to create as many configurations as possible to accommodate the average user in his searches, yet despite our help you will still find yourself at a crossroads in which you will have to choose between AMD or Intel processors.

The best choice often depends on the historical period, prices, the launch of new products and numerous variables. At this moment it is preferable to buy an Intel configuration due to the quality / price ratio.

Well, after years of AMD configurations now the Sunnyvale brand had to give the primacy to the blue house: AMD 7000 series processors, in fact, have support only for DDR5 memories, with the complication that the prices of RAM memories and motherboards are higher than the Intel counterpart.




Although the AMD platform generally ensures greater upgradability and longevity, at this moment we find it difficult to recommend the most recent processors due to the prices of DDR5 RAM and B650 mobos.

- XNUMXth and XNUMXth generation intel they offer excellent performance at a more weighted price, sometimes surpassing the competition even in direct clashes.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains a sensible choice which, despite not being from the new AMD processor series, still excels in gaming benchmarks giving a hard time even to the same Ryzen 7000 ed Intel 13th.

If you use your own PC for work the following configurations may need to change. As always, in these cases, I advise you to write to us on the telegram group where you will receive a free one customized configuration by the moderators!
