Hello guys,

Main work I use PC is for Gaming ,Lightroom,youtube video editing,Recording Games..

Which build should I go for Intel or Ryzen?

Core i5 9400f price is 20% cheaper than Ryzen 5 2600 here.(As they both don't have IGP,I'm thinking of using that extra savings from Intel on Better GPU like 1660 ti).

I see Intel perform better in gaming but is it perform very bad for video recording/editing?

Please suggest a Intel build based on 360 Mobo. Considering good vrm. Not too high nor low..

Ryzen 5 2600 for sure. The i5 does perform in games, but the 2600 is still very close too the 9400 and beating it in games that LOVE cores.

Then yeah for content creation 2600 hands down.

When considering price to performance?
Ryzen 2600 is 20% higher price than i5 9400f.

When I check gaming benchmarks on YouTube,the temps on I5 9400f is much lower than Ryzen 2600. Though cpu usage is more on Intel.
Sun here is bit hot. And no Air conditioner.

Any build suggestion if I5 9400f ?
