Forgive me if I'm being a bit controversial (I do have some controversialCPU opinions ;) ) but I'd wager even an R5 1600 is going to give a better gaming experience from now, onwards, than even a 7700K.
nope.not even close.

Hello,
My current build is-
FX 6300
MSI 970 mobo
HyperX 8gb ddr3 1866
Asus strix GTX 970

Am switching to Intel and I've already bought the Mobo mentioned in the title!
So kindly guide me which proccy should i pair it with?
I will b playing CS GO and R6 mostly.
No heavy tasking stuffs.

Preferred websites-
flipkart.com
amazon.in

The lesser the price the better.

PS-Will b using the same GPU with my new build.
Thanks and regards

If you delid a 6700K properly you can get 5.0Ghz with a AIO liquid cooler i did it to my older pc..



Been running for months no problem.

If you're stuck with 4c max, you want the best option for that, which is the 7700k, and to a lesser extent the 6700k.

Don't hobble yourself with an outdated i5 that will make the main issue with the z270 board (4C max) worse, due to having only 4 threads as well.

People suggesting i5 cpu's for 7th gen intel in 2020 should be muted.

Best and cheap are two mutually exclusive things.

Pick which one means more to you and ask us your question based off that.
Guys i have one more question,
I found a deal of i7 7700T(Non K) its i guess confidential chip.
Its tagged the same price as of i5 7500 here at my place.
Is it worth buying this "T" i7??
And wht if i overclock to its real base feequency?(if i grab 7700k T variant*)

The 7700T is only 3k points higher in pasmark than what you have now.
Save up some money and get a 6700k or 7700k

I predicted your response almost to 100% accuracy. Made me chuckle.

"One lined counter & video link/FPS chart" - literally. xD

I vehemently disagree with your rebuttal, and the conclusion drawn from the video. But I've been in this situation many times before, and unfortunately it's a bottomless pit of pointless exchanges.

OP should get a 7700K for their build, it is the best processor for that motherboard. That's all I need say. ~

what do you disagree with ? numbers ? do you think they were faked ? if not then what ? what else am I supposed to provide besides a video ? I'd rather just see the numbers than write a tirade on what I consider better.numbers speak for themselves.
this is not a rebuttal nor a counter,this is just an actual test since you only talk about what you believe.6700k oc crushes 1600 oc both in avg and in min fps.

it is a bottlomless pit when one side talks numbers and the other only expresses their arbitrary affection.
