i5-6500 vs i5-7400

[make_me_bad27]

Hi guys I was wondering which of these two is the best one for gaming?

Pretty much equal , pick one.

They will perform similarly. I would say go with the 7400 due to it being more recently released. However it really depends on what MOBO you already have or plan on getting.

6500 is slightly better, but they should perform pretty much the same in games.
