[SOLVED] i5-6600k vs i5-8400

[uramikir]

Hello guys,
I currently own i5-6600k and i5-8400 CPUs on two computers.
I am trying to use one as gaming and one as streaming. (I know both CPU isn't that great for gaming.)
I checked a few CPU benchmark website, and it seems i5-8400 is slightly better than i5-6600k.
I want to hear some opinions and figure out which CPU is better for gaming and streaming.
For reference, here is my build.

Gaming:
i5-6600k (overclocked to 4.1ghz)
2 x 8 gb ddr4 ram 2133mhz
GTX 1070
Samsung Evo 860 ssd 250GB

Streaming:
i5-8400
1 x 8gb ddr4 ram 2400
GTX 1060 3GB (not installed, due to PSU)
WD 1TB HDD

Thanks in advance,

With a dedicated system, either/or would be solid streaming CPUs.

The 8400 would be the a stronger gaming option with it's additional cores and similar speeds. Leaving a 6600K as a dedicated streaming system puts you in a great space.
