Hi, i already read and watch couple of review and comparison between i5 9400f vs r5 2600/x (mostly on x version).
they always go for ryzen for price point and also upgrade path.
But from my point of view, to get those ryzen oc performance will cost me quite big amount to buy high clock ram and 4+3 phase mobo...
in my contry 2666 mhz ram was 0.5 usd more than 2400mhz, but higher clock than 2666 will add 15-25 usd more with the same capacity.
right now im building my new gaming pc since my i3 2120 pc is dead.
i was planning to use r5 2600 on b450m mobo, but then i saw i5 9400f on horizon and it catch my eye.
Now i kinda hesitate to what cpu will i buy this week, considering in my country i5 9400f was 15 usd less than r5 2600 (non x),
i already bought psu and nvme ssd, other is depend on cpu and mobo..
r5 2600x is out of my budget, its 3.300.000 idr ( arround 228 usd)
so, should i pick r5 2600 (2.685.000 IDR) or i5 9400f (2.465.000 IDR) ?
