i3-8100 vs i3-8350k, does the 8350k max out on load?

[swaggycreeper11]

I am going to build a new pc and i am thinking of bying an i3-8350k. I first thought of bying an i3-8100, but I prefer 8350k, because it has base 0.4ghz more, can be overclocked up to 5ghz and has +2mb cache memory. My friend told me that i should not buy i3 8350k because it is unlocked, which results in the cpu's cores maxing out on load. So, my questions are:
1) Do unlocked cores max out on load much easier than the locked ones?
2) Can the pc motherboard or/and its ram affect cpu's load?
3) Does the i3-8340k actually max out on load easier than the i3-8100?
4) Is Cryorig H7 (cooler) good enough for the i3-8350k

PC specs:
gpu : Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Motherboard: Z370 aorus gaming 5 (rev 1.0)
PSU : Corsair CX series CX650
HDD : Western Digital Blue 3.5" (7200 rpm)
Ram : HyperX Fury Black 8GB 2666 Ghz
Case : CoolerMaster MasterBox 5 (Window)

"Future Proof" is a myth.

Your best bet is to buy a fit for purpose GPU today, and upgrade over time as necessary.

A 6GB 1060 is a great card but, for strictly Fortnite, a 1050TI would be more than capable too.

I guess I'll just buy the 1060. Many years after, I will change to gtx 1060 × 2 and i7 8700k.

The GTX 1060 is not capable of SLI.

 

[swaggycreeper11]

Oh... I am not going to upgrade soon so who cares? xD

I would buy i5-8400 but i think that it is too good for what i will be using my pc for.

You'd thank yourself later for choosing the 8400 every time you start a game made in the last 5-6 years....; and BF1/5 currently struggle with only 4 threads....

If just office work/surfing, flip a coin....

"Future proof" is often misleading, because no one knows the future.

The GTX 1060 6GB was a good choice for future games 2 years ago when it was released. It was known as a solid 1080p 60fps ultra settings card.

It's certainly better than the 3GB version. The 6GB will likely provide a playable 60fps in upcoming titles with the right mix of settings.

Shouldnt I buy 1070?

Shouldnt I buy 1070?

Well sure that would be better. A lot of times a 1070 Ti and eve a 1080 can be bought for a similar price though.
I can't remember where you are located for buying online.

Will dual channel ram change anything on this build? Should I pay 10€ more for 2 × 4gb ?

Yes, you should always get dual-channel when performance is a concern. In the past it wasn't that big of a concern, but now dual-channel can make a 10% and even up to 20% difference in gaming performance depending on the game and the system.

Will I see any difference on my system?

Is Samsung 860 evo 250gb good?

Yes, absolutely.

Are there any differences between the Gigabyte GeForce gtx 1060 windforce and g1 gaming? Should I give 20€ more to buy the Gaming version?

I think it's mostly the RGB lighting.

 

[swaggycreeper11]

Basically the difference is 55€ which means it's not worth it for sure.

 

[swaggycreeper11]

A friend of mine touched the bottom part of my cpu ( not the part where the cores are ) putting a lot of pressure. Will this result into anything?

 

[volkgren]

No it shouldnn't be an issue. If there was oil from his fingers left behind you could clean it off with 91% isopropyl alcohol. Not a big deal though.
