Looking for recommendations to update CPU

[maxze]

Hello all!

 

I am currently looking to upgrade my CPU (+ Motherboard, + RAM). Before showing you my current setup, I have to say that I'm not one who updates my whole PC in one step, but more some parts at a time, when i feel like they need to be updated.

 

So my current build looks like this:

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Core i5-3570K 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($334.98 @ Amazon) 
CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Pure Rock Slim 35.14 CFM CPU Cooler  ($27.89 @ OutletPC) 
Motherboard: ASRock - Z77 Pro3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard 
Memory: Corsair - XMS 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1333 Memory 
Storage: Samsung - 840 Series 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 
Storage: Western Digital - WD Green 2 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($99.89 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: KFA2 - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB OC Video Card 
Case: Fractal Design - Define C ATX Mid Tower Case  ($91.98 @ Newegg) 
Total: $554.74
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

So now I want to update the CPU, motherboard and RAM. However I can't decide which one would be good. I looking for 1080p 60Hz with the possibility to update to 1080p 144Hz within two years. I am mostly playing RB6 and X-Plane 11. So i was thinking to go with:

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($249.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: Asus - Prime Z370-P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($112.91 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  ($118.30 @ Amazon) 
Total: $481.20
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

At a local dealer the Intel core i5-9600k would be 278,90€ ($314,76), while the 8600k is 265,90€ ($300,08). Or should I look into buying a used 6th or 7th generation?

 

Any help appreciated

When you're asking for build suggestions, don't use US pricing. I see you included local pricing later on, which is helpful, but the other pricing is a bit misleading.

It's better to say where you live so that locals can suggest other options, retailers, etc.

r6 is cpu heavy, and you say you might upgrade in the future? 

i'd say go with a cheap b350 motherboard, get yourself a ryzen5 2600x or 2600 if you want to overclock. and for ram, get 3000 or 3200mhz, brand dont matter but i recommend corsair (idk why)

[Owen the Trusty man]

Looks good to me. Are you going to use the cpu cooler you are currently using? Because the processor doesn’t come with a stick cooler.

I might want to get a 144Hz monitor in the foreseeable future and want the CPU be able to support maybe a 2070.

I was going to yes. Or should I update that one too?

X-Plane 11

Good luck getting anywhere near 144hz in x-plane with any decent graphics preset. 

I would probs suggest an i7-8700 as a CPU with either 16-32gb of ram at 3000mhz depending of what your budget allows.

Oh should have mentioned that I wouldn't be looking for 144hz in x-plane. Stable 60 would definitly be enough there.

Should Threadripper be considered for X-Plane 11

Get an 8600k, better motherboard and keep your ram

[Fasauceome]

Intel's 14nm shortage has driven their prices way up. I think you'll find Ryzen's pricing a little more agreeable.

Pretty sure motherboards for 8600k don't support DDR3 ram, or am i wrong?

Althought Intel still seems to beat AMD in gaming

That is true, so if a handful of more frames per second is worth the price increase then go for it.

Yeah that won't work. There aren't any coffee lake motherboards that support DDR3.

Thanks for that advice. Definitly going to investigate the difference closer in some games that I mostly play.

I meant the ram he'd already selected
