[SOLVED] Is it worth getting the 10600 over the 10600k if i dont plan to overclock?

As the title says guys.

Not necessarily. Even if you don't OC, the K skew is a faster out of the box solution. You don't have to put it on a Z chipset, although I would be sure w/e selection you make there still has good power delivery.

I would overclock if I knew how but I wouldn't know where to begin if I'm honest.

The difference between the 2 is £50 but the 10600 has a lower base clock compared to the 10600k.

Not sure what to do on this one.

Thanks

Both cpu is identical at max clocks (10600 has lower power consumption) The main difference is if u go to Z 490 board and use faster ram even if u dont OC u will get better results with faster ram, so if u get z 490 board get the K cpu. I would prefer 10600K cause even if u dont know to oc now u might learn in the future with the 10600 u are at the peak from the start and thats it.
