Posted January 16, 2020 Hey guys I was thinking about upgrading my i5 8600k with an new amd CPU but I have no idea what is an actual upgrade for me on amd side. Right now my cpu is overclocking up to 5.2ghz and my graphic card is an gtx 1080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2020 What do you use your pc for? The 8600k is a pretty good gaming chip if that's the use.

Posted January 16, 2020 I once had a i5-8500 installed and still have a gtx 1080 like you...i upgraded to a 8700k...not for the clock speed, but for the threads...smooths out gameplay...and a small bump in fps. If I could have found a non-k 8700 for less I'd have gotten that honestly. The extra threads really do make things better...I don't contribute it to the clock speed at all. That said you sound like an overclocker...lots of used and new-open-box 8700k on fleabay...$250-300 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 16, 2020 Author Thanks for the reply guys I suppose my cpu is really good. But if I was to make a brand new system from scratch using amd cpu what would be an equivalent or better cpu.

Posted January 16, 2020 ummm...honestly you'd be better off getting a 9900k if you want to upgrade for the sole purpose of gaming...it's got the IPC and threads to shred. You already got a mobo for it...might have to update your bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I was to make a brand new system from scratch using amd cpu what would be an equivalent or better cpu. for a whole new build, start with a r5 3600 depending on your budget, go with a x570 gigabyte motherboard, ram's important too since you are upgrading from a 8600k to notice a difference. 5950x 1.33v 5.05 4.5 88C 195w ll R20 12k ll drp4 ll x570 dark hero ll gskill 4x8gb 3666 14-14-14-32-320-24-2T (zen trfc) 1.45v 45C 1.15v soc ll 6950xt gaming x trio 325w 60C ll samsung 970 500gb nvme os ll sandisk 4tb ssd ll 6x nf12/14 ippc fans ll tt gt10 case ll evga g2 1300w ll w10 pro ll 34GN850B ll AW3423DW 9900k 1.36v 5.1avx 4.9ring 85C 195w (daily) 1.02v 4.3ghz 80w 50C R20 temps score=5500 ll D15 ll Z390 taichi ult 1.60 bios ll gskill 4x8gb 14-14-14-30-280-20 ddr3666bdie 1.45v 45C 1.22sa/1.18 io ll EVGA 30 non90 tie ftw3 1920//10000 0.85v 300w 71C ll 6x nf14 ippc 2000rpm ll 500gb nvme 970 evo ll l sandisk 4tb sata ssd +4tb exssd backup ll 2x 500gb samsung 970 evo raid 0 llCorsair graphite 780T ll EVGA P2 1200w ll w10p ll NEC PA241w ll pa32ucg-k prebuilt 5800 stock ll 2x8gb ddr4 cl17 3466 ll oem 3080 0.85v 1890//10000 290w 74C ll 27gl850b ll pa272w ll w11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 17, 2020 Author Wow r5 3600x really cheap it seems to me. I suppose I can actually go up 350 dollars for cpu though if ryzen cpus are this cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
