cpu What cpu should I get?

[GriseBonden]

Hi . I`m thinking of getting a new CPU (I have a I5 8600K) and was just wondering if anyone have some experience with I7s, and what would be the best one for gaming? (RDR2, R6). I`m not planing on overclocking*

 

Edit: Is there any chance that I may be bottlenecked by my CPU (I5 8600K) with my GPU (gtx 1070ti)?

Grab a 9700k as it is pretty much same gaming performance as a 9900k.  Me personally I wouldn't upgrade the CPU you have now overclocked will play games just fine.

Ryzen 3600 > 8600k

6 core 12 threads vs 6 core 6 threads.

He already has an a 8600k so he's already got the motherboard, it would cost more to get a cpu and a motherboard that perform the same than to actually upgrade his cpu

It's unlikely you're getting bottlenecked by the 8600k, they're pretty balanced out. For just gaming, you really don't need to go higher than an 8700k or a 9700k

What games are you playing? I had an 8600K, OCed to 5Ghz it easily kept up with SLI 1080s, it won't even sweat with a 1070 Ti.

Hyper threading doesn’t really improve gaming performance and intel i7s are still better than ryzen if all you’re doing is gaming. 
 

@GriseBonden I would go with either an 8700k or 9700k and just enable all core enhancement. It would make no sense to switch to ryzen when you already have an intel motherboard.

Agree. Better focus on the GPU rather than meaningless CPU upgrade.

8600k is already good.
