I5-8600k or i7-8700k what would you pick price and performance wise

 

[Carl Kruz]

i7 8700k

 

[Dragi Kostadinovski]

i7 8700k

 

[Ville-Waltteri Herrala]

For plain gaming 8600K, for mixed multitasking 8700K.

 

[Dylan Shane]

O whoops it is 8700k lol

 

[Curtis Jonesjr]

Which would benefit more for emulation of all lvls?

 

[Daniel Asherz]

8700K>8600K>8700

 

[John Hill]

8700K. I have one I don't have a home for it yet. But I am building one slowly.

 

[Dylan Shane]

Hey do any of you use a battery backup?

 

[Christopher William Strotheide]

Check every benchmark b/n the i7 8700k and the i5 8600k and the i7 barely outperforms the i5 and in some benchmarks the 8600k does better. i5 is the sweet spot not worth paying an extra $100 bucks more just for the i7 bragging rights.

 

[John Hughes]

1700

 

[David Quinn]

8600k for intel 1700 if you don't care about branding

 

[Jackson Gosnell]

8700k

 

[Jackson Gosnell]

‘1700 v2’ coming in April will be the absolute best though

 

[Jack Blue Burns]

8600k

 

[Gianluca Tuscano]

Bought the i7, not woth, get the i5

 

[Mikkel KD Dreiager]

stop say i5 ...all know bigger games like i7 ..... i5 is not the Best we are in 2018 now

 

[Daniel Nathan Ford]

8700k will make your pc a bit more viable for 1-2 years longer then the 8600k due to its extra threads. So longevity and performance go i7, but just for gaming and are willing to upgrade in like 2 years go i5.

 

[Γιώργος Γιαμακίδης]

i have the i7 absolutly worth just buy it and put it with gtx 1080ti if u want to go for 1080 just buy i5 8600k

 

[Taiyon Demyers]

Most games don't use hyperthreading and are GPU bound more than they are CPU bound. If you're looking to get good performance and save some cash go with the I5. If you want a high end, balls to the walls system go with the I7.
