I'd pick the i5 8600K. I'd use the Cryorig H7 with it because it doesn't come with its own cooler. A proper 370 board like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144115 is necessary for k sku CPUs.

I assume you have a GPU/Budget for a GPU?

the i5 8600k's 6 cores would be better if gaming is the only concern
the Ryzen would be better if the budget is a concern. the boards for 8th generation are all premium boards at the mo. adding to the intel tax.

Hello,

My total budget is 471.60$ or 30,000/- INR for CPU, Mother Board and 16GB RAM. I'm really confused which i5 generation should I buy or maybe ryzen. Please suggest me so that I can able to use atleast 5 years without any issue.

Thanks

Paired with an r7 250 gpu ??

A ryzen 1200 would perform virtually the same as an i7 8700k for gaming with that gpu .

If I were you I'd get something like a Ryzen 5 1400 and use the money saved to get a GTX 1050 or something like that. You really need a better graphics card too.

The Core i5 8400 is an excellent choice. It will handle games for many years to come.

intel, because of the motherboard and RAM prices does not seem viable unless you halve the RAM or get an i3.
the cheapest parts with a current i5 is over 35000 INR.
