cpu selection

[hackgod]

My budget is 1000$ and i want to know which cpu should i buy for gaming - i7 7700 or i5 8400

 

[LukeSavenije]

for around 1000 bucks? neither

[Dedayog]

8700K.

[bellabichon]

Do you mean CPU (as in central processing unit, the main chip in a PC) or CPU as in computer tower? This is a common confusion between different languages. If you are just looking for a CPU, get the 8700K.

Hello and Welcome to the LTT Forum. First of all, what motherboard do you already have so we can recommend a CPU that is supported for it.

So is your budget for the entire computer?  Or a portion?

 

You really need to pony up some more information.

There is also the other option of SAVING money too.  $290 motherboard, are you fucking kidding?  

 

Grab an 8700 for $299 at Microcenter and bundle a AORUS B360 mobo (has 2x USB 3.1 headers).  Stock cooler is fine. Done.

In this case try using this config:

Core i7 8700 - US$310

Noctua NH-D15 - US$90 if you want to use the Stock cooler, it will be fine, but its a cooler that is on the edge to "cool" this CPU, i would buy a better cooler

Z370 AORUS GAMING WIFI - US$135

PS: This motherboard is just US$20-US$50 more than a regular B360

Total: US$550(at most)

Too much cooling for a locked CPU, I'd go stock or a $30 cooler max.  That's a top end air cooler for OC.

Yeah, you're right, if you want a better cooler, a US$30-US$50 would be enough.

 

Apologize, i copyed the text from my previous post so i didnt noticed that cooler.

in the motherboard, there will be a conector to plug these USB 3.0 ports

[hackgod]

Instead of aorus can I buy an Asus rog strix

[hackgod]

Mobo has 3.1 usb ports but case has 3.0 ports.

How can. I connect them

Exactly like the USB 3.0.

Does your case have USB 3.1 in the Front panel?
