You could drop down to a i3-8100 and put the money to a better Mobo, RAM or just save more money if you want.

Again you could drop the the CPU to a Ryzen 1500 or 1300 for a better Mobo, RAM or just save money.

If you are going for gaming then the Intel will give you better performance. Keep in mind with the H and B model motherboards you cannot overclock so dont waste the money on a K chip such as the 8600k.
