[SOLVED] CPU and GPU

[Simplesimplesimple]

Hi everyone, I would like to ask you a question about the CPUs and GPUs. I will be building a new PC and I still have not chosen these two components. I am thinking about i5 10600K combined with Geforce 1660S or i5 10400 combined with RTX 2060. Which one would you recommend? I am not gonna do any video edit or such things probably only try to stream some games. You can of course give me other recommendations ( but I prefer intel and nvidia over AMD ). My budget for these two parts is around 600 euros.
Thanks everyone

Among these two, 10400 + 2060.(what's your monitor refresh rate btw?)
But I'd go for Ryzen 3600 and a GTX 2060 if i were to choose a combo. Better performance, less price.

Usually a cpu sees multiple gpu upgrades before itself is upgraded. In saying that, the 10600k's faster clocks would play harder for longer. 2060 is somewhat better but 1660S is still decent.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super Review

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, we have not one but two new Super graphics cards from Nvidia. So what's new on the GTX 1660...

If 10600KF (same as normal K but with no iGPU) is cheaper and can sway the budget a little more towards the 2060, that could be an option too.

Now regarding motherboard, the K processors would require a Z board to overclock. You're not forced to use a Z board to reach marketed turbo speeds though. Concerning ram speeds however, just be careful if you settled for a non Z board that you read the maximum memory speed it supports. Often people buy 3200MHz+ ram and find out due to chipset limitations are limited to slower speeds despite XMP being enabled.
