Hi, I'm new to building PCs but I plan to build one for myself later this year. For my whole life I've been using Laptops and after watching one of my friends build his own budget gaming rig I decided to do it as well. My question today is about which CPU should be best for me. I've already decided on the Graphics Card which will be RX 590, keep in mind I am on a budget so I cant just go for an RTX 2080 paired with i9 9900k.
My current CPU choices are i5 4590K, i5 9400F and Ryzen 5 2600. All of these are good options but I was thinking of going for the i5 9400F mainly because it's newer and supports better RAM and my friend told me to avoid AMD CPUs since I'm newbie and may end up having troubles with drivers or other software. My friend told me to go for i5-4590k because it has a higher base frequency.
My Questions: [1]Is higher Base frequency better than Max Turbo Frequency for gaming? [2]Is it better to go for Less cores than more cores atleast for gaming? [3]Is there an advantage to having an integrated GPU since i5-9400f does not have one? [4]Which CPU do you think I should go for?(you can recommend another CPU but in the same price range.)
