[SOLVED] Gaming cpu intel

[lassiroddy123]

Hi I'm looking for a cpu for gaming only intel because I already have bought a motherboard which is msi b360m motar.. any suggestions i5 or i7 . Hopefully will pair it up with a 1060 or 1079 or the new coming rtx2070 thanks.

i5-8400 or i5-9400 when it comes out. If you're going as far a the RTX 2070 then perhaps step up to the i5-9600k or i7-9700k.

9th gen for gaming, but you'll need to update your bios to be able to use them unless you're running this version: http://prntscr.com/m4wrxr

Is i7 8700 ok for gaming

About as good as it gets on the Intel 8th gen lineup. Only really the 9700k is better and not by much.

There is rich multitasking performance in 8700K well over 9700K… go for it you will never regret yourself.
