What is the better one i5 13600k or ryzen 5800x ?

Pc usage will be gaming and streaming and video editing
13600K hands down. But as others said, the smaller i5s are great, too, and better priced. I have seen reviews on the 13400 already and they are being sold already in Europe, too. Why are you importing, though, if I may ask? It sounds like you are in NA. Shouldn't it be cheaper for you to buy there instead?
 
I actually do not. But I can tell you with the 5800x, I run a 240mm aio to keep temps in line. I have 4 other case fans besides that. 5800x is a decent chip but is now older tech and runs hot.

Here is a decent video that should give an idea the difference.

I have not seen a heat issue with the 5800x3d this new build. When running 3D Mark CPU test all cores the 5800x3d with a $40 Peerless Assassin in a Gungnir 100R case does not go above 76°C.

Seems the i5-13600K melts it away like a crisply-coated snowflake evaporating in the stormy blizzard of a winter's day...

Yes, this is known. Good thing I don't use my 5800x3d for Cinebench.

In this comparison, I'd hardly use the word "melt" in gaming. In many games at 1440p their is little to no difference.

Productivity yes.

Aaah, okay, I somehow got it backwards and thought you are in the US and your friend abroad, which... would have made no sense, lol. Sorry for that. Those prices are horrenduous, holy cow.

I'm sitting in Central Europe. Been to Morocco once, liked the scenery but it was only a short day trip during a Spain vacation, sadly. But I understand the issue. I guess that going to Spain to find something cheaper, for example, makes no sense either? (You do not have to disclose your location or name any reasons for why it might not be possible, btw. A general "I can't" is always fine)
