8700k vs idk

[truckerlenny]

Ok not sure what to do i can get a i7 8700k for about 500 Canadian dollars. I currently have a i5 6500 with a asus strix dual rtx2060 o6g im installing a d15s cpu cooler, corsair hx750i psu, few fans, fan controller, i have it in a cooler master haf xb evo case which i love. I have 2x8gb g skill 2133mhz ram. The mobo is a asrock h170a board. I was thinking about going to a 8700k because dont seem to be alot of performance difference and going to a 9700k means changing mobo. I was thinking do the quick upgrade save up for when a new intel release happens hopefully the d15s will still be compatible then.

The i7 8700K is actually not compatible with the H170 chipset, 2133mhz memory will bottleneck any Coffee Lake i7.

8700k also means changing mobo. Only 7700k would go into your current mobo, but that is identical to the 6700k, so no point.

[Dedayog]

Yeah, you're going to have to with idk.  Sorry.

he's only got a 6500, so the 7700K or 6700K may give him a decent boost.

Nah, absolutely not worth it, they still cost way too much. At that point it is better going with a R5.

Ugh, you're right.  Checked Ebay after posting that, and he's looking at $200+ for the 6700K.

 

He has a solid 1080p system, so no real need to upgrade that part.  I'd look at SSD storage and peripherals at this point.

[Fakmykak]

Yeah go buy the 8700k dude, biggest upgrade of 2019. lol

You do you

But just a reminder, things change, you can't get stuck in a perfect comfortable moment, time always moves on, if you want it, or not.

For $500 CAD you might be able to get a cheap 2600 combo instead

 

Or if you bump up a few dollars a 3600

once again i refuse to go amd. and second for 500$ while you may get a cpu you would not get a mobo and ram as the ram i have amd doesnt like it. also a 2600 would only give me about 10% increase in gaming, sure a bunch more in workstation tasks which i dont do.

AMD has made considerable progress though, i dont know the last time you tried AMD but even if it was with the FX line times have changed.

Right now AMD is great value for dollar and the new processors are far better designed.

Regardless intel is a stupid idea right now when AMD is delivering great value for dollar.

It's not stupid.  It's dependent on what you are doing.

 

You're as badly biased and prejudiced as the OP.  Don't be.

Only in gaming is where intel is better but not by much right now.

Otherwise AMD is the better investment at the time of this post due to its performance dollar.

A ryzen 2600 would be an upgrade in games that can take advantage of more cores, a B450 board would fit in that budget and you can still overclock and have compatibility with ryzen 3000 series cpu's.

Dont bother, the OP probably wont listen to reason.

Lets give him what he wants.

Since intel is the best ever and never makes a bad product ever (the intel pentium D, whats that?) and never has a single flaw whatesoever ( I mean spectre and metdown, ever heard of it)

i recommend the i9 9900K

Thats the best processor out the, pair that with a Z390, 16GB of ram you are covered.

I mean a AMD system would be way less but hey you want the berst intel thing, the 9900K is only $500, so cheap (sarcasm sarcasm sarcasm)

[Mister Woof]

Compared to a locked 4/4 skylake, I'd wager a 2600 and certainly a 3600 will perform almost every task and game better.

 

We aren't talking an unlocked i7 here.

 

And yeah, you could throw an i7-7700k on there, but with an H board and no overclocking, it would not be optimal, and a 2600 will be near parity and a 3600 is going to perform better most of the time.

 

But it's his money 

[Deadsies]

Please do not spend 500 Canadian dollars on a last generation chip.

 

 

 

[Mister Woof]

If you must go Intel and have no interest in overclocking, a cheap h310+ an 8700 nonk + a hyper212 will get you almost identical performance to a stock 8700k.

it had nothing to do with the product as per say it had to do with the service received by their reps when there was a issue and they failed to resolve it

i have a ssd already. and i have a corsair dark core se mouse and a das keyboard 4 pro with blue switches. which it might be good as pc right now i have money to spend on upgrades that then will be used for years to come

i refuse to go amd because if it doesnt work then the service with amd is horrible from my experience in the past. it has nothing to do with that intel doesnt sell bad chips heck ive had a few over the years but was always handled and come to a resolution.
