[SOLVED] Upgrade from i5 8400 to 8600k?

[Spencer_Scholles]

Okay so I am going to upgrade my gpu from a gtx 1060 3gb to an EVGA rtx 2060 KO. I currently have an i5 8400 and I want to know if it will bottleneck. If so, should I upgrade to the 9600k?

should I upgrade to the 9600k?

Not worth it. It's same 6core/6thread cpu, just with slightly higher clocks.
Consider upgrading to i7 instead - either i7-8700 or i7-9700.

I will be spending a lot of my budget on the 2060 so a 360 dollar CPU is a little out if my price range.

Then cpu upgrade is not worth it. Current one is fine.
