Gaming CPU needed

[EnterClassroom]

Goodmorning guys, i have 2 questions:

1.in my country, i5 8400 have a same price with ryzen 2600x, so which one will the best for gaming experience? My GPU is GTX 1060

2. If i go with ryzen 2600x, can b450's motherboard handle that CPU? I'm not going to Overclocking anyway, just play with stock, maybe i will overclock my RAM

Thanks for your help, i hope you understand and im sorry if my english really bad :)

How much is a 2600? If there's a significant enough difference, get the non X.

With a 1060, won't matter much.

 

Yes. Which b450 board tho.

It doesn't really matter with just a GTX 1060.

the R5 2600 is likely the way to go, you can just overclock it to the 2600X's levels unless the price sare close

 

The only B450 boards to look at are the ASrock Pro 4 or MSI Tomahawk, both have VRMs on both heatsinks, most others lack that or are more expensive

go ryzen. intel processors are very expensive now

I would personally recommend Ryzen because intel uses the crappy thermal paste to glue the die to the heatspreader.

2600 cost 34$ lower than 2600x, because i already read few article 2600x is 2600 with OC, so i buy 2600x and play it with stock

Get the 2600, OC it yourself to match the 2600X. Save $34.

did OC make more power consumption? power consumption really make me choose 2600x over 2600 with OC

and then i'm using cryorig h7 quad lumi as my CPU cooler

That board is fine it's just usually overpriced

 

How much more expensive is an X470 board?

A 2600 and 2600X will use the same power at the same clocks/voltages.

The X470 strix is one of the best AM4 boards overall

 

I meant more an MSI or Gigabyte X470 board

Just compare the VRMs to the X470 boards, probably just buy one of those and save money on your CPU

The ultra gaming even has some nice features for overclocking, might be able to hit higher than on a normal board with the override.
