Intel core i5 or ryzen 5 3600

So I'm thinking of buying a new cpu, but no matter what I will need a new motherboard.

 

I was thinking about i5 9600k that im gonna overclock (I will need a new motherboard, cooler and power supply).

 

Other option I was thinking about is a Ryzen 5 3600 bundle that comes with a motherboard, new ram and the cpu.

 

At the moment I have a 550W powersupply, 2x 2600mhz 8gb ram, a gtx 1660 super and i5 7500

 

I mostly play Rust which is like 87% cpu game.

I have also heard that Intel is better at like single threading which is good for Rust.

 

Buying the i5 9600k will most likely gonna come more expensive than the R5 bundle and I have a budget around 400€

better than i5 9600k  at everything that you throw at it. (i5 9600k wins in gmaing by 1% when overclocked to over 4.8ghz) but 3600 has 6 more threads meaning less strutters and better 1% and 0.1% lows

 

get 3600

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Don't get a 9600k. Dead platform. Really bad value cpu. 

Either Zen 2 or heck even comet lake would be better. 

If these are the only two options available. 3600.

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad.

Can you wait? Ryzen 4000 is coming in fall and is gonna be a lot better. If not.

 

What exact 550w psu is that?

What motherboard comes in the 3600 bundle? Plenty of crap boards get put in the bundle same with the ram.

I think that it's fractal design 550w 80+ bronze

 

Asus PRIME B450-PLUS + AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 3200MHz, this is one of the bundles

 

Asus ROG Strix B450-F GAMING + Ryzen 5 3600 + 16GB HyperX Fury DDR4 3200MHz, this is 2€ more expensive than the one above

 

MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX + AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + Kingston 16GB HyperX Fury DDR4 3200MHz, this is 10€ more expensive than the ones above

Is your psu the integra M from fractal? If so you are good to go.

 

Do get the tomahawl max ryzen combo. Pretty much one of the best b450 boards with confirmed ryzen 4000 support.
