Amd or Intel?

[Kekoi]

Planning to upgrade my rig or build a new one the problem is im not sure on what to choose between intel 8700 or higher or the amd ryzen 2700x higher for very last long. Any recommendations? Will use for gaming and streaming etc.

Ps my other parts are

GPU: Asus Strix 1060 Adv. (Will upgrade soon)

PSU: Coolermaster mwe 650 gold

Monitor: MSI Mag241c

Whats the budget?

Why not the 3rd gen Ryzen 5 3600? It performs the same as the 8700 but is cheaper, cooler and uses less power

Probably i7 8700 or up to i7 9700 on the intel and for the amd as i mention above. Sorry about on the budget because Im not sure how much our currency here in the Philippines is. lol.

If you can afford a 9700, just grab a 3600 or 3700X

Maybe just go with the 3600, w/ AM4 socket since AMD has shown the tendency to not change there MOBO Socket after every CPU iteration.

Allowing you to likely upgrade the CPU by itself in the future if the trend continues.

This might leave enough in your budget to sell your 1060, and apply some of that savings over Intel and get a newer GPU?

AM4 is getting old, there really isnt much of a reason to argue for that anymore. and intel isnt changing every CPU iteration either. they last 2 generation.

how much is a 3700x in relation to those two?

I would take the 2700 for one reason, you mentionned you are streaming. You a re not loosing 50% performance with the 2700 over the 3600 or 8700, and you have 2 additional cores, the 3600 and 8700 only have 6 cores.
