I won’t be overclocking and will be using a stock cpu cooler. Which is better? (I will probably use intel turbo boost as I have heard good things about it). It will be used for gaming
 
if your asking which is better between i5-8400 and I7-8700 then looking at speed, turbo speeds, number of cores and threads each have easily you can say the I7-8700 is better than the i5-8400, but for gaming this all depends what games your running, as the single thread on both is close enough to state i5-8400 is sufficient to run anything ou there right now, that is assuming your not streaming at the same time, of you where them you would need the i7-8700 to handle the demand on the cpu.

I won’t be streaming but will be using 2 monitors, will the extra threads be useful here so should I just stick with the 8600k? Also, is the stock cooler enough here?
