AMD FX 9590 or Intel i5 6600k

[Naksu]

Im about to upgrade my pc in two weeks and im battling between these two cpu´s. Im gonna be mostly playing games like Overwatch, GTA V, CS:GO and Black Ops 3. Could you tell me witch one is better and why?

i5 all day, no competition, Single core and multi core will spank the 9590

dont buy the 9590...consumes way too much power, and kicks out a whole lot of heat
not efficient

go with i5

[scobie56]

i would go with the i5 the 9590 is just not worth the price since you can just overclock the 8350 to the same oc plus the i5 is a newer generation 

the 9590 runs to hot

There really is no context the i5 wins on nearly every category you can think of incluying the fact that is not a dead platform like AM3 is.

 

If you really want AMD just wait for zen there's no point in getting an AMD cpu right now.

Amd CPUs are just too old, too inefficient and have really low IPC. Just go Intel till they come up with new tech. That amd CPUs gen was meant to combat the 1st gen or 2 gen core I series. After that they just kept on increase clock speeds till u get the amd 9590. I really like amd but that could is just too impractical

Oh, wait, we're talking about playing games? I thought we were talking about baking cookies. My bad. Get the 6600K.
