Ryzen 5 1500x or i5-8400?
The ryzen 5 has 4 cores, but clocks in at 3.5GHz base clock, but can be overclocked to 3.8GHz.
The i5-8400 has a base clock of 2.8GHz, but has 6 cores, and can be overclocked to 4.0GHz.
What should I buy? What would be the best for Destiny 2?
Note; I do not plan on overclocking. I want the CPU with the best out-of-box performance.

For gaming it's not close it's the 8400. All around workhorse...it's real close. I'd usually lean towards Ryzen when it's close, but you only mentioned a game, so I'll go 8400.
