worth a hell of a lot that baby chip, pulls its weight well too, its been good to me, will never find the heart to sell it

lol first time I've seen sentimental value on a CPU that isn't OCable

Yeah I get it I won't sell my laptop due to it being my first ever computer

Wow this thread just went downhill.

OP just be happy with a 7600K, 7600k is just as capable as a 7700k in gaming even when both are overclocked. Sure a ryzen 1600 would be better, but for pure gaming the i5 7600K is just as good as Ryzen.

i5 for 60fps, i7 if you really want that 120fps in other games assuming you will be playing on lowest possible settings

im getting some quotes in the morning, lets see how far off the 7700K is.

ryzen 5 performs worse in games than an i5. AMD even has that on their website lmao

not by enough to make the extra 2C/8T much more valuable in the future

not really... also look at the minimums, it's much better than it was at launch, i5s are not worth it anymore, games are using more resources.

Not true actually. Yeah the i5s get 2 more FPS on average, but the minimums suck. Ryzen 5 is MUCH better than i5

Neither. Get a Ryzen 5 1600 with a B350 motherboard

considering he only games 7700k is a no brainer.

i dont get minimums, if the avg are better then everything else is better. There is no such thing as a better cpu that will get outperformed by a worse cpu in a millisecond task or somethin'

[MrJarhead]

not being offensive to anyone but if you recommend an i5 you need to reevaluate your life, its either a ryzen 1600 or a 7700k, 7700k being better for gaming.

TL;DR

 

Intel --> 7700K

If you are willing to at least sell the Z270 mobo --> R5 1600 or maybe R7 1700 for better mins and similar averages to i5 and much better future usage than i7. 

 

Kaby lake and future shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

If you get 60fps average but dips into 5fps that's a much worse experience than a 55fps average and dips only to 45fps.

Not true, the i7 is much better than the i5 in games. Newer games can use 8 threads.

 

OP- Since you don't like Ryzen, get the 7700K. Don't get the 7600K, especially if you care about "futureproofing"

he is only getting a gtx 1060. I have an i5 4690k 4,7ghz and gtx 1080 ti and there is only one game where i cant have 90%+ gpu usage without using DSR and that is BF1 and even without DX12 i am awlays getting more than 60fps. Witcher 3, Titanfall 2, Battlefield 4, DCS World, rainbow six siege all would not run any better on an i7

Minimums are just as important. Bad minimums mean that the game stutters and isn't smooth. Smoothness is just as important as FPS.

most demanding games still dont support more than 4Threads, so investing in an AMD chip for gaming is kind of retarded

thats not the point, a ryzen 1600 is cheaper than any i5 and is much better. i5s are now pegged at 100% usage in a lot of games.

how's the SLI scaling? Like BF1 or other demanding games for example and what resolution?
