i5-8600K or i7-8700(non K)?

m18_hellcat · Nov 9, 2017

Hello!

As you already can see, my question is:
Should I choose the 8600K or the 8700 for my new build?

I'm going to play Prepar3d- a flight sim platform, and at the same time have 3 or 4 applications running that is connected to the flight sim. I'm going to play with a 1080p monitor with 144Hz refresh rate.
Here are the builds:

Which one do you recommend? Any possible changes are appriciated!

Your build if fine. No need to change anything. It should be able to handle the game along with the applications pretty good.

You have a Overclocking Board so even if you are going with the I7 then you should get the I7-8700K otherwilse the 8600K will be good

You could adjust a few parts so you can get the 8700K & GTX 1070 ti for a similar price.

Thanks for reply! I posted a similar thread on Sweclockers (I'm from Sweden) and the most of the people who replied wrote that I should be fine.

I'll see if I can squeeze it into my budget paired with a GTX 1080. Thanks for reply!

Yes, you should be fine. Although you can tweak a few things here and there if you want more value...

Hmm.... I think that a GTX 1080 Ti would be an overkill, a GTX 1080 or a 1070 Ti would be perfect for my needs. I have looked around for the Sandisk on Webhallen.com and Inet.se but couldn't find it. I think I'll stick with the Tomahawk or the Krait because imo they look a bit better.
But anyways, thanks for your help!
