    New PC Build for WoW

    Hi all,
    I want to build new desktop and i'm comfused about what cpu to buy.I'll pair it with GTX 1050 ti.I just use pc for playing WoW ,Dota2 and Twitch,Youtube,Facebook vs.People say single core speed is more important for WoW and ryzen is not good as intel for WoW.I want to play WoW at least 50-60 fps on 7-8 settings , above 34-40 on raids.
    I have 3 option for my low budget (150$) but i'm confused which is best for my usage.
    i3 7100 vs G4560 vs Ryzen 3 1300x
    Let me know what you guys think , I'll greatly appreciate it.

    Out of your presented options I would likely go for that 1300x. It will hit all your goals without an overclock more than likely and with even an average overclock you are for sured it. Desktop use will be great with all the cores. Not going to say these are the absolute best comparisons on the planet but it gives you some raw data and is user generated. Of course it is also about 50 bucks more than the G4560 and about 30 bucks more than the 7100 so it makes sense. But I think its worth 50 bucks to be honest.

    If hes going to OC the 1300X, then theres no reason to get the 1300X. Just get the 1200 and OC it. The “X” Ryzen chips are odd ducks in that they are pointless if you are going to manually OC. The 1200 is the exact same silicon. The “X” chips are only useful if you dont intend to manually OC, because they will XFR past their rated Turbo if temperature allows.

    But giventhe choice of a Pentium G, 7-series i3, or Ryzen - take the Ryzen.

    I didn't say there wasn't better choices. I said of the 3 that were given? I mean truth be told be told I am sure he could drop 7000 bucks and get a way better computer wouldn't you agree?

    No, i dont assume anything. But making a suggestion of “get this cheaper product instead” hurts no one. Worst case is he answers “i cant, it has to be one of those 3”

    I get where you are going. But I answer is question. But I am done with this line because their is really no reason to de-rail a thread over some personal strange conversation.

    Ok.Lets be more clear.I played WoW on my friend's computer last night on 10 settings.I can get 35-40 fps on lfr thats what i want for building pc.
    My friends PC
    Cpu: i7 4790
    Gpu : r9 380

    I dont have enough information for pc , thats what i'm here.I will buy gtx 1050ti.I think i3 8100 or r3 1300x will be close to i7 4790 on performance ( i will just use it for WoW , Dota2 and Youtube,Facebook,Twitch etc. ) .I7 4790 price is overbudget for me.
    i3 8100+z370 mb = 350$
    r3 1300x+b350 mb = 300$ in my country.

    Do you think i3 8100/r3 1300x + gtx 1050ti will be equal to i7 4790+r9 380 on performance ? And what do you buy i3 8100+z370 mb or r3 1300x+b350 mb ?
    I'm open to advices other than these 2 options.
