    [SOLVED] 4k Gaming Build - i5 9400F or i5 9600K

    @TCA_ChinChin : So after reviewing the new AMD chips, I have decided to ditch Intel for the 1st time in years, way better bang for the buck. My expected new config is below, although I am holding on to my GTX 1080 for the time being as I am not "SUPER" excited about any of the current GPU...

If CPU isn't going to be a bottleneck for either OEM at this...
