[SOLVED] I5 11600 or ryzen 5 5600x

[TheNewbie6]

Hey I am going for an upgrade for my PC from a very old one (amd phenom II x6 1090t) and I have been considering I5 11600 I have seen stats for it and I think it is performs so good for that price bracket and I have seen that ryzen 5 5600x too and performance is quite the same I think?(although some say ryzen is quite lower performance than intel and vice versa IDK really) but the ryzen is more expensive than the intel but also I have heard that you need to buy a new separate cooler for the intel because it really overheats with its already packaged cooler so the price would be almost the same
I am so confused really what do you guys think?

The 5600x and 11600k are about even. Keep in mind that 12th gen is out now. The 12600k is a beastly chip. You are going to want a cooler, regardless of what you get. AMD motherboard pricing is a bit lower, if you look at B550, vs Intel Z series boards.

Is this for a gaming PC? Do you already have a good GPU? What monitor are you planning on using with this build? What country are you in (for pricing comparisons)?

Problem is that I amliving in egypt so I don't think we have 12 gen cpus by now here
Also doesn't these cpu require a significantly more expensive motherboards?

 

[logainofhades]

11600k should be in a Z590 board, which can be just as expensive, as a Z690 based one, for 12th gen. A 5600x can be paired with a budget B550 board, and work just fine.

5600X, it run's cooler and uses less power.

Well the 5600x does come with its own cooler - the cooler isn't great but it should be fine for gaming. If you can't find a 12600k and a Z690 DDR4 motherboard easily or for a good price then I would lean toward a 5600x with a B550 motherboard. The 5600x is a great CPU for gaming.

ty so much man

The only reason to get Intel is if you like intel for some reason or want some of their features like the iGPU, QuickSync video encoder and stuff like that.

No prob. If you need advice on which motherboard to buy just give us a list of what's available to you along with the prices and we can help you sort out what's best for your needs and budget.

AMD's multi-core processing is excellent but Intel's single-core processing is more good. So if you think to use your PC for gaming, I recommend to use AMD Ryzen 5/7/9 Processors, but if you're using your PC for something that would need more speed and less tasks, then Intel Core i5/i7/i9 is for you.

Your not going to be disappointed with either, both are very capable. What do you use your computer for? Also do you have a GPU, if you don't and your not prepared to pay the silly prices at the moment you will need something with an iGPU. If that's the case then I would consider the 5600G or 5700G.
