Question What's a better cpu

[Roddie.the.gamer]

What's a better cpu for gaming
AMD ryzen 5 2600 or inter core i7 2600
I wil have to buy the amd cpu new and that will cost about €160 or I can buy the Intel cpu that will cost €50 bc I can buy it from a friend. what should I do

If you are asking for the actual power of the cpu, the ryzen 2600 is far better

Ryzen is better. Not only that but the i7 2600 means buying an obsolete motherboard and last generation DDR3 which seriously limits any upgrade path.
