Probably slightly cheaper, but also more future proof. AMD took the lead with 3rd gen Ryzen and Intel will be playing catch up for the foreseeable future.



I build a lot of systems and I try to use whatever offers the best performance/value at the time. Currently that is AMD, and every system I've built this year has been Ryzen (3rd gen) based. They've all been extremely stable and reliable. probably more so than previous Intel systems. No BSOD's, no choking on multi-tasking workloads, no problems rendering 4k video, they've been rock solid.


The only issue I had initially with Ryzen was memory compatibility. Ryzen is not as good at playing nice with just any memory kit like Intel has always been for me in the past. Once I started buying memory based on QVL lists this was not an issue, but initially I had to return two memory kits because they wouldn't run at advertised clock speeds. The G.Skill TridenZ NEO in my part list above is made specifically for Ryzen 3rd gen and it works flawlessly at 3600mhz, I have that in two systems currently. Whatever motherboard/memory you choose, just make sure they have been tested together and you'll be fine.
