Which CPU should I get?

[Hip]

Hey guys,

 

I'm planning to get a new system to work and game (Battlefield V, GTA and Squad) on.

So maybe you can give me advice on which cpu I should get.

I want to play on a 1440p monitor (90Hz).

My limit is 400 USD but you can name thrm too if they are above a little bit.

 

Thanks in advance!

If you get AMD you can get the 2700 and OC to a 2700x, or just buy the 2700x =p

 

Intel you can go a little cheaper and go for the i5 8600k (Don't worry it's great)

i7 8700k or the 9600k

$400 for the CPU or $400 for the entire system?
Are you actually in the US, or buying from the US? If not, then US pricing is irrelevant.

GPU?

A 8600k, 2600, 2700/x or 9600k would all work fine.

Only for the cpu.   I live in germany.  I buy most stuff in outlet stores so I can get them a bit cheaper.

Either 1070Ti or 1080

2700/x or 9700k should be good. 2700 is better value.

Ryzen is always good bang for the buck, however on higher frame rates the per clock performance on the intel chips usually means higher frame rates, i have a 1080, and with a Ryzen 5 2600 i got less FPS than even on a i5 7500, i personally would love a 9700k but the 9600k is great for gaming too

I heard i7 8700 is better than the i5 9600k ie that true?

while the 8700 has more threads, the 9600k has the same cores, and can run at a higher clockspeed, not to mention the 9th gen cpus have soldered IHS which helps with temps
