AMD vs INTEL? - the rise of ryzen , please advise

At the moment, AMD is claiming almost up to 50% of Intel's market share. They are doing great! Both companies are doing amazing processors so you shouldn't actually worry if you're not going to build a really high-end computer. The great battle is soon to come, due to Intel announcing their first GPU.

I got into pc gaming a few years ago and all i could read about is intel and nvidia as a combo. I got an entry level gtx 750ti and an i3 4170. In hindsight i should have got an i5 4690k and a gtx 960 ( saving a bit more).

Now it appears that AMD is making a comeback with CPU's like the ryzen 3 and 5 . Even their GPU's offer good value. They are relatively cheap and offer a lot of value. Intel coffee lake processors cost a lot more, so are they still worth it?

Games these days are require at least a good quad core processor with a graphics card of at least gtx 1060+ level for good fps at 1080p. I want a make a new build , so is it worth the switch to AMD?

Ryzen owners , please advise? thanks

Really? Intel GPU? that is a bit interesting. I wonder if they would be as good as Nvidia/AMD. I would want to build a decent computer but not high end, i don't need to play in 4k or even 1440p. 1080p is enough for me. Ah ok cool. I think i'd just get a gtx 1660 if i save up.

Do you think a gtx 1660/1660ti is a good match for an i5 7500?

Ryzen is still behind Intel in gaming, but are better in high compute tasks.

I disagree with that, because for the value R5 provides, It beats any intel product, ever.

Who was talking about value?

OP was talking about the value of AMD processors and GPUs

Do not get an i5 7600. It's too old, regardless what everyone says. I would reccomend getting the next Ryzen 5

Ok, Ryzen isn't a bad choice, but I would at least wait until the next iteration. Now GPU, Nvidia or nothing I'm afraid, although their RTX range is a bit of a flop. Go for a 1660TI in the meantime, but be prepared to upgrade it in 2020, it really is not a good time to build a rig currently.

Do not even consider AMD cards, if you know anything about GCN, then you know it is archaic, inefficient and pure garbage.

yeah , i got an i5 7500 a few years ago. If i had known about ryzen this well, i would have got it. It would be better to get a cpu with 6 cores because games are getting more and more demanding. If Red dead 2 comes out on PC, the requirements are probably gonna be ridiculous

ah ok cool. Really? if you get a 1660TI , you think you would need to upgrade in 2020? i thought i was a solid card for at least 3 years if you game at 1080p high settings, doesn't have to be ultra or 'nightmare' mode a-la Doom
