Best CPU for gaming

[chrisd1909]

I was wondering, witch CPU is better for gaming i3 8350k or i5 8400. 
Also, I have an Evga GTX 1060 non super clocked, and witch of these CPU's will be best. So there isn't a big bottleneck

i5 8400 is better in basically all situations.

Neither will bottleneck a 1060. That said, the 8400 can run on cheaper chipsets whereas the i3 requires a Z370 board to not be a complete waste (which it kinda is anyway).

Neither of them will bottleneck a 1060, and the 8400 is definitely a better choice. Save money on the board and just get a decent $30 cooler, it'll last you for a good while for gaming. There's no reason to really get the 8350k and a Z370 board, if you plan to OC and spend extra for it, may as well get an 8600k.
