Which is the best CPU for me?

idkwhatimdoinglmao · Jan 7, 2018

So I’m looking to buy my first gaming PC (Alienware Aurora) but I don’t know what processor to get with it. I’m gonna be using a GTX 1070 so i wanna know out of the i5 8400, i5 8600k, i7 8700 and the i7 8700k which is the best for me? I’m only gonna be using this pc to game at 1080p (maybe 1440p in the future) at 60+ fps and watch YouTube and stuff.

The K versions are over clockable. I would say a 8400 or 8600k is probably one of the best out their right now if you just plan to game and not stream. If you want to stream while you play get the 8700 or 8700k.

Id get the i7 8700k. Its probably got more support like hyper threading and better speed. And its also overclock able in case you want to go above shipped speed

I5-8600K is probably the best gamer available today.
I5-8700K is the best, but the extra $100 you pay for 6 more hyperthreads is better spent on a stronger graphics card.
Both will oc to the same level perhaps 5.0
