Question Which is better for the price

[Tom'sHardwareUser63]

I will be buying A
I5 9400F or 2600x
Now i know the 2600 is better because of more threads and integrated graphics and overclock ability.

But i am not playing on 1440p and not on 144hz i am playing o 1080p on 60hz
Also i have a gtx 1660ti so i am sure i won't need that integrated graphics card
In my country the 2600x is 30 dollars more then the i5 is it worth the extra 30
or just stick to the i5

I would get the 9400f.

9400f is a better for gaming. The 2600x is better for editing as it has more threads.

Odds are you might not even notice the difference in performance in most games, but you should go ahead and get the 9400f.

Do note that the 2600 does not have integrated graphics. While it's not a big deal since you have a GPU, but since you noted that it does in your original post, I wanted to make sure you were aware that it does not.
