a10 7860k or i5 7600k

will the i5 bring a massive performance boost ? i have a 1050ti and looking for more fps for minimum change , will it be more powerful by getting a 7600k . also if i was to change gpu what?

a10 7860k stock cooler
1050ti
8gb ram 2166
asus mini itx board

those two cpus have nothing in common, nor the ram, the price range or performance in common

the i5 should be better for games, but is more expensive, needs a intel compatible mainboard and uses ddr4

your minimum change if you consider that, will be like buy a new pc

You jest??
I5-7600K is as strong as you can get today for a gamer; it blows away the apu.
You can connect any graphics card you want and the cpu will drive it.

As a practical matter, you might be happier with a more modest cpu like a I3-7300 and a graphics card like a GTX1060 for example.

List your full, complete specs first, that way we'll know what we're dealing with...And include the monitor rez and refresh rate.

If this is for a new build, give us your total max budget and location, there's little point in us giving you UK links if you live in India! 😉

For now, those two parts are, as has been said, totally different animals, they need different motherboards and RAM so you won't be able to upgrade an A10 to an I5 without significant cost.
