For £150 what's the best gaming CPU available new, ryzen 5 2600 opinions please 

i use the 2600 and for 150 its a good deal but if you love overclocking you may not want it (like it cant get past 4.4ghz for me. i may i have a bad pick for the cpu) but if you dont want to do alot of overclocking you will love this cpu

Cool, I Found it for 142 but am struggling to find the Intel equivalent at a similar price and wanted to check I wasn't missing something obvious 

I recommend you just go with the 2600, Intel is underperforming when you want to spend 150
