Which CPU is better

[A Gentleman]

I got a budget upgrade, but I don't know which CPU is better.

Should I get a Ryzen 7600x or an Intel 13600k for some gaming and a little video editing.

It will be paired with 16gb dual channel ddr5 ram and a 6700 XT.

Thanks.

What kind of gaming?

13600k will be better right now, 7600x gives you more upgrade options down the line if you chose  to go down that route. If you are not someone who likes upgrading CPUs and rather just platform upgrade, then go 13600k.

For video editing, and also for future gaming, I'd recommend going with 32GB of DDR5 instead of 16GB. Video editing can be very RAM hungry and there are already a couple of games, like Hogwarts Legacy, that benefit from more than 16GB of RAM.

 

As for the CPU, I agree with @Shimejii

Noted, i think I can fit 32 gigs in my budget. Thanks for the tip
