What are the minimum specs for ______ at 1080 60 FPS?

Again, you don't need 5GHz. Although I do recommend waiting, you don't have to wait for Zen 2 (It will come around june-july). The RX 570 performs much better than the 1050 Ti in every task and costs the same. And finally, don't go 12GB as 12GB can not run in dual channel mode, just go with 16GB.

It’s too much for me (ram)

Can I go with 2 6GB modules instead?

6GB modules don't exist

6GB modules don't exist

Then can I first go with 8GB and later upgrade to 16?

Yes. Make sure you stick with dual channel, though, as 2 channels is better than having a higher clocked single stick of memory.

Ok so with the newest Ryzen I can forget about adding a cooler because it already has one. Hope the 3700x will have this feature too. I will just need to change the motherboard to fit in with the ryzen (the socket may change so I’ll wait too) but I really need that cpu before september, if this is not the case, I will get an Intel one

 

[gohan123]

I don't get it .. for what exactly do you need 5ghz for? that cpu is a total overkill. with a 2700x you could propably get 16gb ram and a 1070 or 1660 ti (releases in 1-2 days) for the same price which should be so much better.

The 3700X is predicted to be a 12 core CPU clocked at 5GHz. Although still overkill, it's still a much greater choice over the 9900K. If you want, you can drop to one of the Ryzen 5 CPUs if you want a bit for extra cash, with the 3600(X) being able to beat the 9900K at less than 5GHz and less power.

Either way you're probably going to be well set on the emulator side with any of these cpus. Are you sure 5ghz is not just the recommended? Money saved would be well spent on more storage space or a better graphics card. In the end I feel like the 9900k cpu is not truly a bad choice at all. It is overkill, but it will help for maxing out settings (anti-aliasing, higher resolutions, shaders, and so on) if you ever get a better moniter framerate or resolution wise or (specifically in regards to emulation). I know futureproofing can be silly sometimes, but it's a solid options in some circumstances

But Zen 2 is promising superior performance for less, with a much more upgradable platform. Why shouldn't he wait?

I can't speak for Cemu but from what I know it's mostly CPU dependent.
The others will run on almost anything. A GTX 1050 Ti is enough for most 1080p gaming as far as I know, but I have a GTX 970 which is roughly equivalent to an 1060 and it struggles with certain games like ARK and Atlas. Works fine for everything else though, including Dolphin and PCSX2 and I can't imagine Citra would be any problem.
I'd say an 1060 would probably be sufficient, but look at used prices as you can get GTX 1070/1080/1080 Ti for a decent price used.

As far as I can tell, ark does fuck-all with your gpu. It runs at full ultra with just a 1050 Ti for me, but before I upgraded my cpu, it could barely run medium settings.

You may be right. I'm still using an i7 920, I didn't think the game would be that CPU heavy because it seemed to make no difference whether I OC'd or not. There's also the chance my OC wasn't actually being applied for some reason. I will be building a new PC sometime and reusing the GTX 970 though so it will be interesting to see how that affects my FPS.

I don't think he should necessarily. I just recommended Intel because that's what I've used and know works well from experience. I also prefer not to recommend a product (even from a reliable company) before it's been released. Something to note is that Citra runs better with a cpu that has more processing power per core though. I couldn't seem to find a reliable source for the specs of the Zen 2

It’s the minim

 

[gohan123]

I really wonder for what they need 5ghz cpu, I think they fucked up the recommendation and counted 2 cores together or something. everything in my university could be done by a potatoe computer or a smartphone.

Rocket league?
Citra?
Dolphin (GameCube)?
Dolphin (Wii)? Specifically Mario kart Wii
PCSX2?
Cemu(Only BOTW and/or MK8)?

Rocket League: i3 or Ryzen 2200GE and HD 7950 or GTX 1050
Citra: i5 or Ryzen 5 and any modern video card
Dolphin: i3 or Ryzen 2200GE and any decent/modern video card
PCSX2: i5 or Ryzen 5 and GTX 1050Ti or HD 7970
Cemu: i5 or Ryzen 7 and GTX 1050Ti or R9 290X

Hi again. I decided to but the Ryzen that is coming on June BUT I need to know if it will Ben compatible with already existing Motherboards (Preferably MSI motherboards) to start searching for them. And if it will be compatible, what is the socket? Also is it a good idea to mix AMD CPUs with Nvidia GPUs? I don’t like Radeon as much as Nvidia because of certain reasons.

Hey,
Zen 2 will be on the AM4 platform, meaning it will support current motherboards, although with a BIOS update. AMD sends out a boot kit in case of the motherboard not being updated out of the box, but you could just ask your retailer you purchased to update just in case.
Nvidia GPUs with AMD CPUs will work fine, there won't be any problems except SLI on Bx50, but I don't think that'll be a problem in your case.

so any motherboard that has AM4 socket will work?

You'll preferably want a board with a good bios menu. This helps with things such as overclocking, but is just nice to have in general

ok thanks just one last detail to start raising up the money! i know that the newest ryzen comes with a preinstalled fan but do i need a liquid cooling device?
