i5-8600k with gtx 1070 or i5-8400 with gtx 1070 ti?

I’m just wondering as I am looking to upgrade pc. I game quite frequently but also spend my days roaming YouTube... help me please

Totally depends on the games you play since some games (most really) are more heavy on the GPU and some are more heavy on the CPU

Take battlefield 1 ... about 1% difference between the CPUs ... https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-coffee-lake-core-i5-8400-cpu,5281-4.html
and about 10% difference between the GPUs ... https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gigabyte-gtx-1070-ti-gaming-8g,5338-3.html

Look at the 2 reviews ... any games you play ... which would be better for what you play? YouTube ... get an i3 with integrated video.

michaelraulrodriguez I can't provide you with a technical comparison, but for my money I'd go with the i5-8400 / 1070 Ti combination for 1080p. For 1440p, I'd at least consider the Ryzen 5 2600 / 1070 Ti.
