intel Upgrading Cpu

[Juanito]

Hello, i am making an upgrade in my pc in 1/2 months and i was looking some cpus but it is so difficult to choose. I looked the 8th generation of intel and some 2000 series of amd, but i decided to buy an intel one (tell me if im wrong).So the options that i have in mind are i5-8400 ; i5-8600k, i7-8700 and i7-8700k. I would like it to work greatly for a lot of years, so if u can help me i would be very thankfull.

What's your budget?

What are you going to be using your PC for?

If gaming, what games? What resolution and refresh rate?

I am looking into a future project. First gonna upgrade the cpu with also mobo and ram as it is necessary. Then maybe at the end of the year buy a gpu like the new turing cards and for last buy a monitor 2k 144hz in idk maybe may of 2019.

And mainly yes, it is for gaming, i play everytime of game, shooters, adeventure games ( I mean games like the witcher, far cry, assasins creed, games with a high demand on graphics) and more which i cant remeber. I can say that mostly my games are shooters.

 

As im making the upgrades not all in the same time, i would say like 600€. I was planning on wasting 620 on the cpu mobo and ram. And the graphics idk have to wait till it appears. Thanks for replying.

Investing money into a rig is not a "waste" even if you only use it for gaming. 

 

Anyhow, looks like the 8700K would be your best bet if you want to go the long haul with your rig. However with the way RAM prices are atm, I'd try to get a good deal on a kit even if it requires waiting.

Wouldnt you consider to buy the non k 8700 ? I was thinking as I have never oc and dont know how it works really well.

The 8700 is a solid CPU in and of itself. 

 

However overclocking is easier than ever these days, and with a little homework practically anyone can do it. Don't be afraid of it.

If you are fine with using a B360 board and want to save cash, sure.
