Is a i5 10600kf a good upgrade from a i7 7700 non k?

[OwayBaway]

I am running an rtx 2070 super and I want to eliminate any bottleneck

i put a screenshot from user benchmark and was wondering if this is a big enough upgrade that i should pull the trigger, I was also wondering if there is a good motherboard, that looks good, like integrated io shield and coverings for io and vrms, Kinda like the style of this strix mobo shown

Ignore userbenchmark.
It's crap.

The KF doesn't have an iGPU, the K does.

If you get a good-value motherboard with it (I don't know which to recommend, sorry ), yes.

It's got 2 more cores and a higher boost clock.

It's up to you whether you want the K or KF.

Should I expect better performance and will it eliminate all bottlenecks as I already have a good kit of memory? 
will it be a balanced system

A 2070 Super with a 10600K(F) sounds fine to me.

for the motherboard, just pick some with the features you want in your price point and look at some reviews and vrm temp test ...

don't buy intel garbage processors anymore, holy crap, this is a tech tips forum. Get with it people. Apple makes better CPUs then intel and they are a design company that doesn't own a single fab, and they spend the majority of their money on advertising. Intel COULD have done things differently but unfortunately they set the whole world back at least a decade. Stop giving them your money, they don't deserve it.

I wouldn't say that a RTX 2070 is being vastly bottlenecked by an i7 7700. But yes, the 10600KF is quite a bit faster compared to your current processor. The system will be balanced and if you decide to upgrade to a better card in the future, like a RTX 3080 or a 6800XT it will go along just fine with the 10600KF.

It's not fair to say that Intel's current gen processors are garbage. In fact they are pretty good, especially for gaming! Are they competitive, that's an entirely different question. The OP is asking a simple question here, namely is the 10600KF a good enough upgrade compared to his old 7700. The answer to that question is yes. Also, do keep in mind that Ryzen 5000 series is not readily available everywhere and where it is it has quite a markup due to the high demand.

ya i cant afford 5th gen ryzen, and going to ryzen 5 3600 just isnt much of an upgrade

What resolution/refresh are you playing at?

 

I've got an i7-8700k at 5ghz and an i3-10100 system - (similar to 10600k vs i7-7700)

 

If you're playing at 60hz any resolution, you won't really notice a difference. 

 

Better to upgrade your display first.

1080p 144hz

also im trying to do more multitasking like recording and stuff like that while playing games like cod cold war

I'd honestly try to get the 10700k if you can afford it. You're already going pretty high buy in with a Z board and cooler with the 10600k.

 

There's already some gains on 8 cores over 6 cores, and it will feel like a bigger upgrade over what you already have.

 

I'm on my 8700k at 5ghz and often find my CPU at 80-90% utilization in new games.

 

Personally, for a higher end gaming machine, I'd want more than 6 cores.

Intel shafted people for years and AMD's cost to produce the 5000 series is the same as the 3000 series, but they chose to price it $100 more.

None of these companies deserve brand loyalty. They are both scum. Buy what is good value. Go past the label.

 

THERE IS NO BAD PRODUCT, JUST BAD PRICING
