    Ryzen 1600 vs 8600k

    Currently I am debating between the Ryzen 1600 and the i5 8600k. At my local Microcenter, the Ryzen 5 1600 paired with a ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F is about $255 while the i5-8600k is about $310 including the cost of the Z370 board. From my research, the i5 noticeable gaps ryzen 1600 as well as the...
