Hi guys

I am building my brother a budget gaming system from my left over parts when i upgrade my GPU (r9 280x, 2x4Gb corsair RAM, HDD etc)
Now I was looking for a CPU to get him and was wondering whether to give him my i5 4670K and maybe upgrade myself to a i5 7600k with a new motherboard?

Or would it be worth to get him a it 4670k as well due to limited funds from the both of us?

If I was to go to a new motherboard and upgrade myself would this be more beneficial in the long run compared to buying him the exact same 4670k CPU?

I think Ryzen 5 1600 would be much better investment than any i5 out there.
It cost less, have 3 times more threads and have upgrade path for next 3-4 years unlike current Intep platfrom that is dead and no more new CPU's will come for it.

If you went with the new 7600k CPUs you will have a lot more upgrade path than the 4670k CPUs I would say give him the 4670k CPU and you buy new MOBO and the 7600k CPU.

LGA1151 will be dead after 2017 cuz no new cpu will use that socket better go with Ryzen 5 1600
its going to be around for atleast 3 years or so
and its a lot better than intel trust me I own both a i5 7600 and a Ryzen 5 1600 and my ryzen with hyper 212 is better than my i5

Don't mislead people. The I5 7600 is close to as good as the I7 7700 and the Ryzen 5 1600 is nowhere near as good as the I7 7700...

I am not misleading people by the way i just said what it was
my ryzen beats the i5 7600
and we are comparing the i5 7600 here not the i7 7700
and do honestly think intel will give us "nearly as good" performance as the high end i7 on a main stream i5 ???
if so go and buy an i7 only why bother for a "nearly as good" i5

the ryzen 5 is to be comapred with i5 not i7
theres ryzen 7 to compare to i7

Well I know that, BUT if the Ryzen 5 1600 is nowhere near as good as the I7 7700, but the I5 7600 is almost as good as the I7 7700 then that means the Ryzen is not as good as the I5 7600 (or better in that case). The only time the Ryzen will perform better is if you are using the GTX 1080 (or 1080 TI) or 1070 in 1080P any other way its not. The I5 7600 will bottleneck a 1080/1080 TI and 1070 in 1080P while the Ryzen will not now in 1440P none will bottleneck and in 4K none will bottleneck, so the Ryzen would be better in lower res, but nothing else. Unless the game uses 5 or more threads because hint hint the I5 dont have any more than 4 threads.

No im not saying you are wrong, because the Ryzen is a good CPU, but the I5 has better Single an Quad core performance. The I5 7600K even has better 4 cores than the Ryzen gots 6, unless you use more than 6 then its not. I would say long term Ryzen short term I5 7600K, but Ryzen needs atleast 2666 for Ram speed in DDRR4. While the I5 can go 2133 just fine. The Ryzen from 2133-3XXX range is around 10-20 percent boost.
