[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 2600x vs i5 9600k

[josephpelton4thewin]

I can't decide which cpu to go with for my next build. I want to play games at 1080p or possibly 1440p, and am looking to get the rtx 2060 for my build. Which would be best to get? Or should i wait for ryzen 3000?

The 9600k creams the 2600X, but costs a good $100 more. I would get the 2600X and spend the extra cash on a 2070- that will have a lot more effect for gaming.

Well if you choose to play at 1440p as you said the gap will be even smaller. The more you go up in resolution less the game depends on the cpu. If you dont need the cpu right now of course you should wait one month for the 3rd gen ryzen.
