Hello guys , hoping you have a great day,

Are your prices in USD? 2600 should be cheaper build.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

oh , ok , basically i'm not from us i'm from egypt and prices are the same as amazon the core i5 is barely more expensive ...

Oh ok. In that case I still recommend Ryzen because the gameplay experience will be relatively the same and you'll get 6 core 12 thread vs 6 core only.

if your ONLY going for gaming, have no interest ever in recording gameplay or streaming, the 8400 will probably be a bit bettter because of its higher IPC. the r5 2600 is a bit cheaper though, and the motherboards are usually cheaper as well, which would let you be able to afford the 16GB of RAM, and maybe a better PSU (550-650W gold rated PSU if you can) and it will still be more than enough for what you need and not really tons different than the 8400 performance in gaming.

IPC is actually rather similar, and the 8400 has such low clocks that it doesn't beat Ryzen
