i5 9600kf or stick with ryzen

[potato580+]

hey guys i saw big promotion again, an i5 9600kf same price as ryzen 2600, it have 6c / 6ct, while 2600 6c/12ct, what do you think guys? i can pay for new m/b h310 bios star is cheap or should i stick with amd and get the ryzen 2600, which one is worth a upgrade for my system & cash, thx

 

[cucker tarlson]

No you will have to get a z370 you know ryzen 3000 will go on sale too eventually

Its a better CPU than 2600 hands down,faster than 3600 and trading blows with 3700x,but not worth it imo in your situation.

 

[JackCarver]

Depends on your use case, in Games the Intel is way better, in productivity, there are apps that perform better on the Ryzen.
You can get the h310 also if you don‘t want to oc your cpu. Otherwise get the Z370/390

Edit:
Even in productivity there are not many Apps that perform better on the Ryzen, but you know the best, which apps you mostly use

 

[TheMadDutchDude]

Stick with Ryzen and grab a 3000 CPU when the 4000s come out and push them on sale.

The rate at which you swap hardware......................

Anyway, drop in a Ryzen 3 CPU in your current setup. Why bother swapping mobos? For what? Look at reviews and educate yourself. Dont be a..........wait for it..................wait............for........it.........a potato when all this information is at your starchy little fingers.

i dont used pc frequently tho i need an upgrade to match gpu hehe, mostly for watching news/browser, sometimes i do play game if ive free times, anyway those x370/390 is so expensive apmost double the price, can i just go with b365m? i found cheapest one biostar/powercolor/asrock/galax maybe?i dont want wasting too much, but would be great if i can get the best value of item

will probably grab 2600 yes, but not for 3000, its still expensive maybe wait abit longer yes sure will do hehe

Just don't buy any hardware for a month and use the money saved to get a 3900X!!!

it almost $600 here, thats too much

Well how many GPUs and CPUs have you bought for $200 in the last 2 months?

 

[potato580+]

single cpu, i like this 2200g, has been an year since, gpus emmm couldnt tell, i forgot it

 

[phill]

Buy it all then you can't say you don't have it

I'd stick with Ryzen personally but get a decent X motherboard, but that's just me

 

[Chomiq]

So when do we all meet up to stage an intervention?

hmm thats exactly what i think abt somehow, i will just keep my curent ryzen and get new intel, i think i should go with h310 no need for expensive board, im not into oc tho
b365 may good aswell, i think it can oc intel

I'd go with 2600 of course over an i5. remember to get a 470x board and if you ever wish to upgrade to a 3000 series Ryzen, nothing will get in your way.

Yes you can go with B360 also. If you don't want to overclock your cpu this will be sufficient.

In other words, stick with the 2600, but then spend as much on the mobo, too

 

[oxrufiioxo]

A R5 2600 for sure over an intel chip you do not plan to overclock.....Also spending more on a 9600kf with mobo than a 3600 makes zero sense you'd really want to pair it with a z390 or z370 motherboard, the B and H boards do not overclock at all. Maybe in a couple months when the i5 actually has 12 threads It may be worth buying but if you plan on keeping it longer than 2 years I wouldn't touch it.

Considering Intel's I5 capabilities I'd put out $20-$30 more for something with brighter future.

 

[jesdals]

What about the R5 1600 12nm version - its my budget go to for the moment

 

[P4-630]

If it's more for gaming Intel, if it's more for productivity AMD.

Solid... but it doesnt offer much more than the apu IMO, really. Zen 2 or bust is my take. Why an incremental upgrade?

Not even that. Ryzen dominates encoding and (un)compression, but it still loses in more common, office-oriented tasks: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-5-2600/7.html

I tend to buy over the top boards simply because I'd rather have better power delivery and so on, because if a cheap board wipes out things all because I was trying to save a few quid I'd be gutted, so I pay out more and know it'll hopefully last

One reason for going for the X370/X470/X570 Hero boards because I hope that they would be a solid and decent board whatever I was doing... Try not to skimp to save a few quid for the sake of a few quid, think about not having to spend out twice in case things go up in smoke and take other hardware with it.. I couldn't cope with that

Yes, the Ryzen 2600 loses nearly all tasks against the Intel i5 9600K. If AMD then get a Ryzen 3600 instead. The price Ryzen 3600/Intel 9600K with appropriate mb should be the same.

Lose = misplace. Loose = not tight.
