Bought a RTX 2060 SC Ultra Card and i’m questioning which cpu to go with. I want to have a snappy computer. I’ll be multi-tasking, gaming and listening to music. Which cpu under $230 would be the best to go with? I am buying a 144hz 1080p monitor that has g-sync so I definitely need 144 fps at high settings. Thank you!
 
Solution
9600K or 2600X. I recommend going 2600X for the extra threads if you plan on doing multiple things like gaming and web browsing/music playing at the same time.

Or wait for the new Zen 2 CPUs that are right around the corner. Like 2 weeks away.
