Hey guys so i currently have an i5-8400 and i just dont think its gonna cut it much longer for what i want to play so im gonna upgrade but stuck as i want to see a decent performance upgrade so i am looking into the i5-9600k and the ryzen 5 3600 i looked at benchmarks and looked like the i5 was better but in terms for gaming but every piece of hardware is different depending on what you pair it with and the ryzen i have seen is what a lot of people are going for now but in order for me to do so that would require me to get a new mobo as mine only supports 1151 and i would have to get a new ram set because i believe you want 16gb ddr4 at what 3200mhz to get the most out of the ryzen i currently have 2666 mhz 16gb which i should probably change out no matter what i get my guess was probably the ryzen has more threads and have been told it would be a good future proof path but just wanted some opinions. Thanks guys!!
