I've been struggling between which one to go on a new build. Its going to be purely for Gaming, I want to avoid hitting less than 60fps on the minimum fps, only to be played at 60fps at 1440p (since 4k at 60fps is not posible with my gpu).
On one had I want to have the most power efficient CPU that generate less heat/runs cooler
My options due to my budget are the next:
Ryzen 5 2600
Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 3200 MT/s (PC4-25600) CL16 SR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS2K8G4D32AESBK
Gigabyte B450 I AORUS Pro WiFi
i5 8400
Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 3200 MT/s (PC4-25600) CL16 SR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS2K8G4D32AESBK
GIGABYTE B360N WIFI
I was also thinking on going all guns for an i7 8700 or ryzen 7 2700x, but I think those would be overkill just for gaming.
