i3-8350K vs i5-8600K

[geekgamer5902]

I'm stuck between deciding which one of these two. I won't be upgrading the CPU in the near future (say a minimum of two years) and I'm gonna get a GTX 1080 and a Corsair H80i v2 (I might OC in the near future). I'm also gonna be running 1080p 144Hz.
Where I live the i3 is about $250 and the i5 is about $400. I don't know if it's worth the extra $150 help me

The i5-8600 would be the better choice as you are going to be living with the CPU for the next 2 years at least and it will easily go longer.

The 8600K is a proper 6 core CPU that is tremendously powerful for gaming and will match the GTX 1080 very well...and for high refresh rates even better..Finally the overclocking potential of the 8600K is great and in most cases 5GHz is achievable when and if you decide to overclock....

The i3-8350K is also very good as it is fairly cost effective but still a 4 core CPU....

What is your motherboard model? There might be a better option. Otherwise, it just depends on how you will use your computer. If you plan on streaming while gaming, running a multi-monitor setup, etc. I suggest the i5. If you plan on gaming and the price of the i5 is too much, get the i3. Again, there might be a better option.

Well you solved it but, it's gonna be a gigabyte Z370 aorus wifi

The import price will probably end up costing me more than retail here xD
