I have a i5 4460 with a b85 motherboard, it doesn't perform that well in gaming nowadays, esp in titles that are more demanding like ac origins, metro exodus etc.
So i am looking to upgrade this setup-i am torn between i5 9400f and r5 2600,i wanted to buy the ryzen 3600 but it's quite expensive at the moment at where i live.
From the standpoint of gaming, which cpu would be a better choice? I5 9400f performs well in games, but i read somewhere it exhibits some stuttering in titles that are cpu intensive as it has only 6 threads.
Will the ryzen 2600 give slightly lower, albeit more stable performance in games(ie with minimal lag and stuttering)? If yes, should I go for it?
Also is the asus b450 m-a a good choice as the motherboard for this platform?
Another thing that i would also like to know is, out of the 2 aforementioned cpus, which 1 runs hotter when used with the stock cooler?
