RYZEN 5 1400 or i5 6600 k with GTX 1080

[WARDRUNA]

Hello everyone, I seeking some help with this, I catch some good offers and now, in sale for almost the same price got for choice AMD and Intel combo (mobo + ram +cpu) to pick up and build with my brand new GTX 1080 EVGA FTW, I can tell that my budget it reach that peak, and searching a lot was the best deal until now that i ve seen for my 1080, wich combo will be better to cause less bottleneck possible to that gpu monster? the benchmarks was so adjusted that I really confused right now

If you're option for a 1080, I would hope you're gaming at 1440p? If you're only at 1080p, the 1080 is a bit of a waste.

The i5-6600K is better for strictly gaming right now due to it's higher IPC.
The R5 1400 is a solid option though, 4C/8T..... but really, only if it's overclocked.

I'd actually suggest a better balance would be an R5 1600 and 1070 but, if it's a matter of those two options..... whether you'll overclock or not is probably the biggest driving factor IMO.

What is the other hardware included in the bundle?

The Ryzen 1400 and i5-6600k aren't really even in the same price range, and typically a 6600k would cost over 40% more, so if the pricing and other hardware in the bundle were similar, the 6600k bundle would likely be the better deal. The 6600k should normally be closer in price to a Ryzen 1600X.

hello guys, thanks a lot for your answers, both are right, first of all, im planning to have this PC for more than 4 or 5 years, so in time, I ll be upgrading it with my periperals in the future, and overclock its the factor that I ll apply in the future certainly, but not now, as my objective was to have a GTX 1080 for long time, I put my bet on it but this adjust more my budget. take on count that I ll run a normal HDD, with maybe H110 or B150 Motherboard (for now until I can upgrade to Z270 MOBO), I Catch the i5 6600k with 6 months of usage in the same price of ryzen 5 1400 processor without usage, based in the cryoburner comment, the i5 6600k its the better deal so I decided to buy it I ll got it tomorrow... hope this not cause bottleneck I ll post the results of the build here

PD: I still listen more ideas, greetings

Use CAUTION with a used i5-6600K. People hit these CPUS with a lot of voltage trying to get high OCs. If they damage the chip, but it still mostly works, they sell it used.
