What is the best gaming cpu currently? I am planing on using it with a 1070. When I say best I mean fps per $ and why?

Actually, price per dollar, the 8700 beats the 8700k because $40+ cheaper, and it turbos to almost the exact same frequency. You're welcome @Princess Cadence ;)

Additionally, what resolutuon are you running at? this is all assuming you're using the 1070 for high refresh rate 1080p gaming, as 1400p and 4k become more GPU heavy, and buying an 8700 over an R1700 or 1600 becomes "wasted money" from only a gaming perspective

How many more fps would the 8700 get me over a r1700 or 1600

Yea Id still pick a 8700 non K over a Ryzen, its only about £30 more than a 1700x.

 

Didnt know they boosted to the same clocks. My 8700k only hits 65c at stock in IBT, so theres some fait headroom on it though, but initially it wasnt stable at 5 Ghz 1.4v (might need more adjusting on other things, or might only be 4.8-4.9 Ghz capable). I'll try more tweaking when I have my new case and do the cable management properly.

Linus is my fetish.

Depends on the game, and resolution, but in most cases it would be measurable, since the 8700 has a higher IPC than Ryzen CPU's. The new Ryzen + CPU's coming out in april are hopefully going to improve single core speed, so thats something to consider

Already set the time for you, the i7 8700 is identical to the i7 8700k Stock so this will help you understand the differences kinda... thing is the i7 is better at every thing... it just costs more... but you can fix the cost issue by going with the locked variant since you save up in motherboard and cooling... a z370 chipset is still nice to have for memory overclocking.
