Upgrades!

[Cars Canadian]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm think of upgrading my i5-6600k to an i5-9600F, I was just wondering if my mother board would support it. Its a socket 1151 and I do have dedicated GPU for graphics. but I don't know about the chip set. How can I tell what chip set I have and would it be worth the money.

 

I do mostly gaming with it so yeah

 

Edit: I've seen quite a few videos and there is not much improvement to 10th gen, and it requires different motherboard.

No, you'll need a 300 series chipset for the i5 9600F.

They do but they also cost less.

IT's all about the bang for the bucks.
Yes Intel is still the king of gaming (barely) but AMD is the king of value.
It's: Pay 500$ for 100 FPS or pay 400$ for 95 FPS. It's your money but right now, as far as value goes, AMD is slaughtering Intel everywhere but at the very high end.

Your Intel mobo might be cheaper than your AMD but it's a dead architecture with nowhere to go.

They cost quite a bit less, and fps is genrally less than 10% lower, usually 5%, so no big deal- they also have higher multi-core/thrad performance, intel ONLY wins for gaming, and is essentially matched by amd for multi core gaming.

OK thanks everyone
