[SOLVED] Planning to buy Intel i5-8400 or i5-9600k

[iCeMhaN]

Hi guys im planning to build my computer can you help me out if I will take the i5 8400 or i5 9600k?

My current VC is GTX ASUS Dual 1060 3gb OC
RAM is 16gb Hyper X Predator
MOBO is MSI 360M Bazooka
PSU is 500w

Question is Is there gonna be a problem and any inputs?

I'm not familiar with how you guys say bottleneck is there gonna be a problem?

Is it worth it to pump more $100 for 9600k with my current specs? (8400 is $180 and 9600k is $280)

I'll use it 85% pure gaming and 15% for my office related work.


Thank you for your help.

With the motherboard, you're losing out on the features that make the 9600k worth it (OC, XMP, Fine tuning, etc).
I would just buy the 8400 unless you plan to upgrade your motherboard too.

 

[iCeMhaN]

OMG seriously? Whats with XMP and Fine Tuning anyway? Also can you give me the entry level board with a good price for this processor to run? Thank you

Go with 9400f best budget gaming cpu..!
Save money use a better aftermarket cooler! For longer run..

But the 9400F doesnt have like instore graphics card right?

 

[Samrat97]

Isn't it 8400 is better than 9400F?

In performance - almost same even 5-10% better.. Plus this is current and cheaper than 8400..
With the price of 8400
You could get 9400f + an aftermarket cooler..
One cons.. 9400f don't have any iGPU..
Bt you have GPU already you won't need iGPU!

Thanks i'll consider your offer but I'm really looking forward any more inputs if i get the 9600k

K series CPU with B series motherboard is not worth it!
Rest is your choice!

Look at the R5 3600, is only $199 and will trounce any of the above listed processors.

Yes considering it now. Thanks mate, one more question does the R5 3600 also does have the iGPU same as the i5 8400? Thanks!

If you do not intend to game, and therefor need no discrete GPU, the 8400, 8500, or 9400 or 9500 will do fine...

If you have visions of BF1 and BF5 in your future....start with a 9700K or a Ryzen 3600-based rig... (THe latter path will save you $150-$200)

 

[Samrat97]

No

Yes considering it now. Thanks mate, one more question does the R5 3600 also does have the iGPU same as the i5 8400? Thanks!

No..
You have a GPU already why do you need iGPU then!?

It doesn't.

A back up just in case.

 

[SgtScream]

The performance increase over the other processors will more than make up for not having an igpu.

So what do you guys prefer anyway the R5 3600 or R5 3600x? Also is there any thing I should expect from a AMD chip? Because i've been a intel i5 guy for almost 10 years. Haven't used AMD before.

Go with 3600 + a decent b450

don't buy i5 9600k. if you you have any processor already to run your PC.
save some money and get i7 9700k.

 

[iCeMhaN]

B450 max is out in our country I'll pair it with R5 3600. Does anyone knew here if others still have problems with their B450 max?

If you don't want to overclock then any B450 would be fine!

 

[SgtScream]

There's not much overclocking head room for third gen Ryzen, especially due to the fact that the 3600 is a lower tier binned chip. Just enable precision boost overdrive and call it a day.
