Ryzen 5 2600x or Core i5 9600k

[Swift-7]

I am going to get a cpu and motherboard in the coming days, and I am not fully sure which CPU should I use, the i5 or r5. 

I am thinking of getting the Asus Strix x470-f for Ryzen 5 2600x or Asus Strix z390-f for the Core i5 9600k.

I have checked some benchmarks and saw the 2600x performs better than the 9600k .

 

[hello_there_123]

which gpu do you have, which resolution and whats the purpose of ur build

[Oalei]

maybe wait for some hours to get info on some keynote about Zen 2

 

Get other MOBO such as B450 Tomahawk/Pro carbon, X470 Taichi is very solid.

Wait for AMD's new chips coming out soon! They should smash both options for around the same price!

Asus boards for amd aren’t that good.

 

get MSI tomahawk or gaming pro carbon or a taichi board if you opt for AMD.

 

i find strixx you overpay just for brand name. Also, tomorrow AMD’s keynote at computex for the new zen 2 CPU’s.

 

id hold out if I was you and wait a bit

I have 2070 for now, I am going for 1440p with 144 hz. I don't currently have a monitor for that but will buy one when I can afford it.

I also have been thinking of changing my gpu for 1670(ti) if nvidia ever releases them with Nvlink or SLI support so I prefer a motherboard which supports them.

I suppose I can wait more. 

[Princess Luna]

Wait Computex tomorrow.

 

Also the Strix-F for Z390 chipset is a shitty overpriced motherboard that relies solely on RGB and ROG branding to sell it.

well get X470 Taichi it will surely and those 2 will too i mean those are some good boards. Dont forget that X570 offers PCie 4 which means you could get normal PCie 3x16 (probably).

Well, I am not really into RGB, just the color red and black only so everything matches with my system and so.

I5 9600k will be better for you at this point in time. If you’re willing to wait until July that is supposedly when the Ryzen 3000 is coming out.

9600k seems have about 8-20% better fps but the 2600x only seems to utilize less 50% to gain almost of the same fps and so. I still think the 2600x is better with that if I ever mutli-task or so.

It seems like the 3000s are going to be out in like 5 weeks or so. I think I will be going with the 2600x for now.

I think that’s a great call. What is happening on the 2600x is the games stress one core more than all of the others, so the, 2600x is being limited by its single core performance.

Only their lower end.. the X470-F Strix and Prime Pro are perfectly capable of running a 2700X..

I'm going with the 2600x as it seems to be better for me and some of the motherboards here differs in price. So I will list the prices for some motherboards which I suppose are good.

 

ASRock X470 Taichi  = 21.7k BDT (256.75 USD)
Asus ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING = 20.9k BDT (247.29 USD)
MSI X470 GAMING PRO CARBON= 19k BDT (224.81 USD)
Asrock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming K4  = 18.2k BDT (215.34 USD)
Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI = 17.7k BDT (209.43 USD)

 

I am thinking maybe the gaming pro would be more preferable. Is the Taichi worth more or so ? What do you guys think ?

The Taichi is the best board out of those and it's the one I would go with.. It's worth the premium over the others and would also be the best option if you ever decide to upgrade to Zen 2 as it has the best VRMs.. If the B450 Pro Carbon AC or Tomahawk is available and you would like to save money, those are GREAT options as well for the 2600X..

[xg32]

i wouldn't use either 9600k or 2600x for eventual 144hz, wait for zen 2.

idk hwo to answer this but i know for sure that Taichi and Crosshair VII is one of the best X470 there is even the X370. Well for price maybe Pro carbon or Aorus

Well, I am going to upgrade the 2600x (if I do get it) in the next 2 years or so .Well, I am still not sure if I should the Taichi or not, in the motherboard tier list, it says it for the r7 oc and above. Won't the motherboard be better if it's line to line with the r5 and so ? 

I remember seeing a GamerNexus video where the strix seemed better than the gaming pro. But would the strix be worth it too or so ?

well i would say get the best VRM's because PCie 4 is going to be hot. 

i havent really do research on X470 because im busy with some B450, but if its better than it is better.

Get a B450 board.. honestly if you are going for a 2600x save the money

I suppose I am going with the Tomahawk, maybe with the Pro Carbon one if it's available.

I have a B450 Carbon + 2700x combo and it works like a dream. Tomahawk is a very solid choice for the 2600x

[Swift-7]

Thanks for the help guys, and I going with the 2600x with B450 Tomahawk,
