It's better to ask for a whole build instead. It's easier to shift budget around like that.

if you have been following linus's coverage on ryzen and and intel you would know that it's been a fight back and forth from both intel and amd. I personally have an Intel I5-6600k the overclockable one. I like this chip, but it has it's drawbacks the main one being that it's not hyperthreaded the current kabylake I5's are though so instead of having 4c/4t you have 4c/8t which essentially gives you an "octocore" proccessor. Most if not all of the amd ryzen cpu's are hyperthreaded and are definitely better cost/performance chips. Definitely recommend AMD at this time. you can get an AMD Ryzen 1600x for under 200€, which is a 6c/12t chip. a lot of bang for buck out of this one. But with a chip like that, you need an AM4 socket motherboard.

My Rig: | CPU: Core i7-8086k @ 4.9 GHz | Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix z370 | CPU Cooler: (some coolermaster one that probably should have been retired several years ago) | Case: Corsair 570x | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro
