cpu I7-8700k or i7-7700k. Budget 350euros

[LukzForEver]

I have a tight budget of 350euros that i have to fit mobo, cpu, cooler. Im thinking of a i7-7700k which is cheaper or i should save a bit more and buy a 8700k?

I could get a 7700k under 250euros but i will still need a mobo and a cooler or 8700k for 300euro ant sit with a incomplete build for a month without a mobo and cooler. 

I have a 144hz 1080p monitor and a gtx 1080.

 

Is there any diffrence in gaming?

For 350 you can have much better AMD Ryzen combo.

Even ryzen 7 2700x is bad for high refresh rates

What are you thinking you'll be able to overclock i7 to 5GHz for 350 Euros?

Your budget is even worse for high refresh rates.

as anti amd cpu's as i am, these guys have a point for your budget, go ryzen.

Your budget has enough money for a 8700K and an air cooler.

Yes, but not for a board and memory. From his other topic, the entire budget for board, CPU, RAM and cooler was €400.

 

It's not happening if you want more than 8GB of RAM sadly. Like, at all.

So...it looks like he bought a mobo for 50 Euros and he thinks he'll be able to run an Intel CPU like people do for benchmark videos...

So this will NOT be your final CPU but does get you in the door. In a month or 3 move right on up to that 8700k you've been wanting. Hopefully the Italian Part Picker is good enough for this as I am unsure where in Europe you are. If you require a different location let me know and I will do my best.

 

I warn you now in the short term your GPU will be VERY bottlenecked and there is not much I can do about that aside from tell you to grab the other components and keep using your current CPU until you can afford the 8700k to go along with these parts.

He already has a 3770K right now with 16GB RAM and a GTX1080  but he didn't specify that, so that's bad on OP's end. Otherwise, I'd have sprung for a Pentium since it has Hyperthreading.

Thanks for the additional info.

[LukzForEver]

Yeah but my i7-3770k and my other mobo is on sale now. I will still have my ram though 

[LukzForEver]

I think i can buy 8700k used for cheaper. (300euros) and find a nice mobo for 100euro.

[LukzForEver]

There is a site skelbiu.lt thats where im gonna buy parts. Cooler from other site.

If u just want to play games, 7700K is more than enough, you can try to use the extra money to get a AIO watercooler. That will be the best

You should get 8600k. It's almost equal to 7700k. Plus everything will fit in your budget. Also, try to buy used don't waste money on sites like Amazon.
