ryzen or intel or a gaming setup

[safray]

so i was going to pick a ryzen 5 1600 but i just saw that if i only want gaming i should go with intel

is that right or should i just pick up ryzen

[HKZeroFive]

No, at this price point stick with the R5 1600.

It depends on what game you are playing but in most cases go with intel for gaming.

which i5 should i go for without breaking the bank

Ryzen.  If you are in the mid price range of the 1600, I don't recommend trying to get an i5 7600k.  Unless you have $600 for an i7 7700k/8700k, z270/z370 motherboard and 16 gb of ram, go with ryzen.

what is your budget? ryzen 1600 is actually the best chip for gaming in this price range .

[safray]

my budget for the cpu is 250$

neither any i5 worth the price nor will provide better gaming experience than r5 1600 

[bellabichon]

If you're doing purely gaming, an i5 might be okay. But at this price range, I would go with Ryzen.

Core i5 6400, unless games of 2017 make use of multiple cores e.g 6 the 6400 would fit your price range

none. current generation i5 is just not worth it. get a 6 core ryzen for the same price or a 4 core ryzen for less if you don't need that many threads.

 

or wait for official prices coffee lake if you can.

[Sage_Masters]

Yes it is word on the street is coffee would run on LGA 1151, with 6 core for i5 and i7 for the same price

Yes, we'll be getting 6c 6t i5s. They should launch in 2-3 weeks

word on the street is also that coffee lake requires a new chipset regardless of the mechanicaly compatible socket. so you gotta buy a new mainboard either way. DickMove™ by intel
