Ryzen 2600x vs I5 8600k

[Jaspreet_816]

I am building a PC with GTX 1060 6gb, 16GB Ram 3200mhz , m.2 ssd, nzxt kraken. Which CPU should i select 8600k or 2600x, actually i will be gaming on that PC and stream and record very rarely (once or twice a week). I will be overclocking them, I know FPS is higher in 8600k, instead of ryzen. I can't afford 2nd PC for streaming. I think 8600k would be better as there will be more frames.


Please give your oppinions. Or should i go with my choice

Although the 8600k is still better, the 2600x has closed the gap knocking on Intel's doors. If the latest benchmarks are any indication, then 2600x is pretty close on the heels of the 8600k/8700k in terms of gaming, and the extra threads will be more beneficial for streaming/recording.
Also, the extended platform support for Ryzen, makes it a very interesting value proposition right now. Honestly, you cant go wrong with either, but if you are strictly gaming, then 8600k should pull through at the top in most games.
