Question CPU for gaming

[sorinalin_92]

I want to build my pc for gaming. The first time I wanted to buy a Ryzen 2700, but I looked at youtube and I saw that i5 9600k is better in games than Ryzen. What do you think? Which processor should i buy Ryzen or Intel. The processor will only be used in games. Sorry for my bad English.

Depends on your budget. The Ryzen 2700 is less expensive (here in the US) than the Core I5-9600K. The Ryzen processor also comes with a stock cooler. The Intel Core I5-9600K does not which adds even more to the overall cost. Finally, AMD motherboards tend to be less expensive as well.

So again, it boils down to your budget (and the prices in your location). If you can get the Intel processor AND the graphics card you want, then it's a no-brainer. If you have to sacrifice a level of GPU in order to get the Intel processor, then I'd say go with the AMD set up (or maybe wait until the 3rd Generation Ryzen processors are released).

Either or. It really doesn't matter between those chips. For gaming there is a slight edge for the 9600K, but you can't go wrong with either chip.

Choosing between a Core i5-9600K and Ryzen presents the same conundrum we've faced in the past: it depends on the type of software you run most frequently. If you're a gamer who doesn't really venture beyond 1920x1080, Intel's Core i5-9600K is the chip for you. But if a majority of your workloads are threaded in nature, including content creation and productivity, a powerful Ryzen gets you more performance at a competitive price.

That's the last paragraph in our review of the 9600K. They will both make good gaming CPUs.

My GPU is GTX 1070

Then where is the question? The I5 gives better performance in games. If you can afford it, get it. If not, get the Ryzen processor.

Just built a 9600K system (GTX 2070) to replace my Ryzen 5 1600X system. Can't really tell the difference gaming at 1080p/60hz. But if I had more heavily threaded tasks to perform, I would go with the 2700X.

 

[mdd1963]

Is the 2600X an option?

 

[sorinalin_92]

No, i use pc only for gaming, no streaming, no editing. I think i will go with i5 9600k.
