Question Should i purchase an i7 8700K or an i7 9700K?

[demantaleksander]

I'm currently looking to build a new pc. But i'm not sure which cpu i should buy. I'm more gaming oriented, and i'm looking for the best performance.

At the moment the 9700K is cheaper, for me.

Then if i7 9700k is cheper for you obviously go with it.

The 9700K is also faster (200 MHz higher turbo clock), which should make the choice somewhat less agonizing...

Agree - would take the 9700k.

i7 8700k=6c/12t and i7 9700k=8c/8t
