Forget the 2600 vs 2700 and i5s vs i7...will a 2600 with 2080 be better option for gaming than 8600k with 2070?

It’s to replace a dead gtx 570 on my 1st gen i7 960 computer can’t really handle too much more than 570 but I found 780 local for $90 cdn... decent deal for the gpu? Gtx 1050 is still like $$180++ here and 80% slower than 780. Even used market pretty high around here still. Looks like was used...

I’m in Canada, canada computers is having grand opening and 1800x is on sale as a Doorcrasher price $199.00 (from $330+) cheaper than 1600x 1700 2600(x) 2700(x) 8400 8600k 8700 8700k still sells for 500$ here 8600k $330 8400 $250+ 8350k $200-220 1600 $230 2600(x) $230/290 2700(x) $380/420 I...

$226- 8350k or $120- 7600k(used) For 100$ I think 7600k all the way for value but @ $120 I start thinking of new features newer chipset warranty newer mobo etc Been going crazy from 8350k/8400/8600k or 2600(x) I love comparing but I’m really stuck honestly I wish I had the money to...

Same problem here 8700/k ... mesh fronts airflow hard to find... meshify good but a little big... define c tg is nice too both already mentioned, not sure airflow good enough on the define c but I like it too. There is also phanteks Enthoo Pro m tempered glass (also a white interior edition...

Maybe he forgot the take the plastic off the cpu cooler from the base like jay 2 cents from YouTube did with that air cooler... his wasn’t keeping things cool until someone said did you take that stupid plastic off??

4133 CAS 19 / 19-25-25-25 (1.4V) (trident) OR 3000 CAS 15 / 15-15-15-35 (1.35) (g skill V) same price...is the 4133 at cas 19 faster than a 3000 CAS 15?

Optimal fan placement size for phanteks p300 (comes with one 120) so do I add 3x 120 for 2 in 2out or do I add 3x140 because top and front support 140s but not the rear so I would have 2x140 in top exhaust 140 and rear exhaust 120 (again can’t put 140 on rear)?

I have to wait 30-60 days to buy a 1080 TI anyways and I could return and pick up 8600k in a few weeks I'm sure... appreciate all the advice... and honestly I'd love to OC and like the idea of all that jazz... but I'm also afraid of not knowing what I'm doing... at the end of the day im sure...

Why don't you want coffee lake? is it because you want more mobo options than high end z370 with coffee lake? because i5 8400 is priced really well compared to kaby/skylake and you can get like the asus tuf series z370 for pretty cheap...? i think the 8400 beter than the 7700

I think its greater than 10fps from 2400 to 4000 (z370 mobo seem to do 4000) I was wandering this too and cant believe not more discussed for 7700k... everyone says if you're getting locked cpu better to pair with cheaper non OC motherboard. But than I learned you can run the mobo specified ram...

The guy at our main computer store told me gigabyte mobo's have a slower feel 'drag' (like mouse wise) than asus. Within a given chipset z370 for example is there actual performance difference in companies or bios?? I did not think company made difference beyond features and cooling/oc...

I literally have a 8700 sitting at home and I'm seeing overclocked 8600k getting higher single core benchmarks. Now personally I have never OC before but if an Asus or gigabyte mobo can autoclock the i5 to all core single core > locked 8700 for 60$ less than isn't better to buy that? Especially...
