I7 9700F anyone use this?

[Gohardgrandpa]

Found a phenomenal deal on a used prebuilt today. 

Ibuypower with a 9700F, 16gb ram, 480gb SSD, 1tb HDD, rtx 2070 super. Dell S2716dg monitor, K70 keyboard and some wired Corsair mouse.  I got everything for $800

 

Was wondering how this 9700f is doing now a days in gaming

 

I'm currently using a Ryzen 5600g and rtx 3060 in a hp pre built that I bought for $1280 open box from best buy.

Its some where roughly around a Ryzen 3 5300G in terms of performance.

Nice deal

 

I'm running a 9700k right now and have yet to max it out outside of benchmarks. just gota make sure you put a good cooler on it. I'm using mine with a NH-D15 but you may not need to go that extreme with the non-k variant

It sucks because I grabbed it on my way to work so it's sitting in my car till I can get home and try some games on it. I felt like for the price I couldn't pass it up. I needed a monitor to and that Dell seems to be a good one.

it's definitely not bad for an average baseline cpu. could do some things with it

I doubt the difference in performance will be noticable, if the ram in both systems is running at a decent speed. The 5600G is slightly faster than the 9700F, and the 3060 isn't far off from the 2070 super. 

 

In terms of which system you would want to keep going forward, the Ryzen system has a better upgrade path.

for 800 you got a steal
