Witch cpu is better

[Savage Tech]

Working on a $1000 build this is just for gaming I have to used options for a cpu combo 

 

i7 5820k with x99 mobo with 16gb ddr4 @2666MHz $450

 

i5 6600k with z170 atx mobo $175

 

or would a new combo be better  this is being ordering a week so no one day deals

i7 5820k would be better in open world games, as it has 6c, the i5 6600k is better in cs:go and other single thread games.

5820K, but it depends what you want to do with it. My friend runs the 5820K at 4.8GHz easily.

If you look for a CPU just for Games, 4790K.

5820K is a 140W chip at 22nm whereas 6600k is a 14nm chip at 90W. Better than both is the 8700k ~ 90W chip at 14nm and faster. Plus you have the 9th gen with you too.

 

8700k will consume less power and perform better than 5820k.

The R5 1600 edges out the i7 5820K clock for clock.

Two options with intel:

8700: $270 used on ebay

H310: $50

16 GB DDR4: $140

= $560

 

OR 

8400 $160 on ebay

H310: $50

8GB DDR4: $70-80

= $290

What about: 

I7 8700 (non k)

H370 or B360 motherboard

16gb ddr4 ram or 8gb ddr4

 

Would be better then both of those and will offer you more support less power usage and warranties.

Just heard about this deal :

8700k + Z370 for $424

@Savage Tech

Oh hell, go with that deal.

 

If you know anybody with Amazon Prime (it's Prime Day), see if they can find a better deal ...or even a sale on DDR4 RAM.

 

EDIT:

 

For Prime Day, there is a similar combo..

i7-8700K + ASUS ROG STriX Z370-E + 32GB Intel M.2 Optane

$449.99

 

The Z370-E should be the higher end motherboard.

Not sure if you need the Optane drive, though....

But $20 gets you a better motherobard + Optane drive.

 

A single 8GB stick of memory is going for $75 ~ $80  (goes up from there).

For gaming you want clock and IPC so 8th gen i5 or i7 are your go-to's here. Preferably the 'K' SKUs.  Hell even an i3-8350K would beat the 2 you listed.

 

But don't get an i3.
