Question Mid Range CPU Buying For Gaming

[SURAJSRVR]

Hello Friends,
I am making my 3rd rig for gaming only.
My current pc (I5-4460) bottlenecks recently bought Gigabyte 1660 OC 6GB.
So i am selling pc except GPU.
i am confused which CPU to buy - i5 9600k or ryzen 5 3600x.
CPU prices in my area(Delhi - India) are -
INTEL I-5 (9400F) 9th - Rs 8990
INTEL I-5 (9600K) 9th - Rs 15990
RYZEN 5 3600 -Rs 13990
RYZEN 5 3600X - Rs 16790

That's a lot of choice. If this is a gaming only build, save the money and get the 9400F. Paired to the 1660 OC it will do a great job at 1080p gaming and save significant money. Also the 3600 non X will do as good a job as the 3600X and save some money.

I prefer AMD so yeah I agree the 3600 would do you well paired with a good video card, now if you want to stream as you play, stick to the 3600X
