Help me to choose a right CPU

Thanks for your replies.

My list of components now are:

CPU = Intel Core i5-9600K
Mobo = Asus ROG Strix Z390-F
NVMe = Sabrent Rocket 1TB PCIe 4.0
GPU = Asus ROG Strix RX 570 4GB OC
RAM = Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 MHz CL 15 (Low profile)
Cooler = Corsair H100i PRO RGB
PSU = Corsair RMx 850W (80 Gold)
Case = Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 (Love this one, it is the best ventilated with 3 stock fans and 1 at the rear, compliments go to Tech Deals for his recommendation)

I am very happy with the above list though the total cost is rather expensive, yet still within my budget.

Only a bit fed up with Corsair forum as I have raised a question asking about their latest Carbide 275R Airflow case, I was nearly convinced that I should gofor that one , but nobody replied me.

MB511 has several advantages: the $75 case comes with 3 stock fans at the front, and 1 at the rear however they are not PWM fans. It is very spacious inside and provides option for installation of 240mm AIO at the roof, both Silverstone RL06 and Corsair Carbide SPEC-06 as well as Carbide 275R provides no such option (pity).

I have built the rig yet, I need to figure out if I need a Flash USB Drive setup for Windows 10 installation after I have put all the hardware together. Can anyone supply me with the information, currently I only have a DVD for installation of Windows 10.

After the system is setup, I may need to setup a LCS for the RX 570, it runs far too hot.

Stick with the Stock AMD Cooler and put the money spent on the h100i, towards a better card.

Thats what i would do anyway. :D
 
Yep 6 core 6 thread, like the 9700 with its 8core 8 thread nonsense..
I bet both those cpu's will age poorly.

2019... no one should be buying a decent pc without double figure thread capability.
 
Yep only 9900k if you have 2080ti and gaming is 100% all you do, even then had the 3900x stayed at Msrp I would take that due to the platform advantages. Another Intel vulnerability so another 4% down when patched....

Mad people recommending a dead intel platform as “faster for gaming” when ignoring the fact that nearly all users will GPU or monitor limited so they are paying more for less in almost all a cases.

I'm not recommending Intel, I'd go Ryzen everytime at the minute due to the totally dead end platform from team blue... but if I had to, then 8 cores 16 threads minimum to save upgrading again in a year or two lol.
 
I agree with you, 9900K is only product in stack that makes some sense now. 9700k may as well get 3600 and put extra £140 or so into a GPU will be of greater benefit.
 
@acsiny
9600k is money down the drain. Get a 6 or 8 core Ryzen. If necessary pretend it's an Intel chip :rolleyes:. Choose an 8gb GPU while you're at it. A 4gb GPU is just going to annoy you.
 
Just get a new GPU dude, a 660ti is absolute complete crap compared to your current CPU, and is dragging it down massively.

only 8GB of slow ram is a bit of a bother... but still, get a GPU FIRST and see what you think before upgrading the rest of your perfectly good system.

I have an old system. Essential components are

i5 4670K
P8Z77 Deluxe
Corsair H60 AIO cooler
Corsair HX 850
Corsair Vengeance 1333 2 x 4GB
660 Ti

I play Battlefield V, For Honour, Final Fantasy XV and Company of Heroes II. Very slow all of these titles and never manage to get 60+ FPS.

I want to have a completely new system. Now which CPU should I be getting? Hopefully, the new system will be able to handle Cyberpunk 2077 at at least Very High settings along with all the above mentioned titles.

Have used AMD CPUs before and not very great experience so AMD needs not apply.

Thanks!

If budget is a limit, get an i7 and upgrade the gpu to a 5700 or 2060 Super.

That i5 will bottleneck in BFV even with just a 1660.

That slow and small amount of RAM are your next hurdle. That requires a complete new system. But, it should do for now.
