Well i have a really old processor (amd fx 6300) and i was thinking about changing it.
my main problem with this cpu is not that it bottlenecks my 1060, as its overclocked to 4.2 ghz and holds the gpu well enough, but its that sometimes the whole system would freeze for a minute, and that really annoys me.
im sure as hell it is because the cpu is old (+overclocking), so i thought of buying a i5 8400 in early 2018 and spending something like 200€ on the cpu, 80 on the mobo (b360) and 60 on the ram.
the real question is: is amd or intel going to launch another series of cpus?
i heard intel's gonna launch cannonlake in late 2018, but what about ryzen? As of right now i dont really care of the extra little boost in productivity ryzen could give me because i mainly play games, should i buy the i5 8400 in early 2018?
