i5 8400 6 core and a 2070 gtx running at 1440p. Any bottlenecks or choose diff parts.

[Ganger]

Im trying to save money on my build and after some advice reguarding the cpu and gpu to buy.

Im getting the 1080gtx or the 2070gtx for sure but is a 8th gen i5 8400 still good for these cards. I been reading up but getting mixed results on the issue. Im hoping to be gaming on at 1440p in a couple of months on a G-sync monitor too.

Any advice./

Here's mine:
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11585374
Averages
Single core:
2600 111
8400 117
mine 122 (4.3% above 8400, 10.9% below 8700K)
8700K 137

Well, this doesn't mean your CPU has better single-core performance. To be hinest, there is no such thing as abstract performance st all. Neither single nor multicore.
You proved that your CPU has better score in one single benchmark. Nothing more. If you will use another benchmark you will get different result.

It do. In the tests they perform. It doesn't mean it's faster in all single-core loads.
Hardware Unboxed has already proven the 2600 with an OC will perform better in the games.

Personally whatever my CPU perform 3% better than the i5 8400 or 4% below I'd take it anyway due to the 50% better multi-core score anyway.

CPU-Z by no means is any better. It's just a performance number for that test too, but here's mine:

Single thread
i7 4790K: 451
i7 6700K: 474
My 2600X: 484.5
i7 7700K: 492
i7 8700K: 550

Multi thread:
i7 4790K: 2301
i7 6700K: 2377
i7 7700K: 2548
My 2600X: 3699.9
i7 8700K: 3701

https://valid.x86.fr/9ymnif (The numbers above are from the program, seem like the numbers on the webpage is different, anyway i7 8700K according to the webpage is 3835 so that would put me 5.5% behind.)

So I'm 0.03% behind the i7 8700K in multi-threaded CPU-Z and 11.9% behind in single-threaded CPU-Z.
.. and my cores aren't even overclocked. I don't have the best cooler (Noctua NH-U12) or the best airflow (3 80 mm weak fans) and the graphics card consume quite a bit of power (HD 6950.)

Guys calm down he already went with the ryzen

If this "score" is all you care about and you going to use this PC exclusively to run single test from this site 24/7, you made a right choice.
Most importantly, never try to run other tests, like y-cruncher, in which your computer looks much worse.

No I won't and I already know the situation but the thing I've stated is that the 2600 with OC ran games better which was the relevant thing in this case, not that the other things are irrelevant either. Hardware unboxed has already showed the 2600 with an OC run GAMES better than the i5 8400. The i5 8400 is a stupid buy regardless of how many and what benchmarks we run.

Neither CPU-Z or y-cruncher show the game performance BETTER THAN THE GAMES BENCHMARK TESTS HARDWARE UNBOXED HAS ALREADY RUN WHERE THE 2600 WON.

y-cruncher:
Computation time 100 000 decimals single thread: 40.641 seconds
Computation time 100 000 decimals multi thread: 7.082 seconds

Lacks meaning for me since I haven't got something to compare with though.

well i expect this thread to be locked soon

srsly guys drop it or take it to direct messaging or something

With an rtx2070?

im pretty sure the gpu would be a bottleneck

All they need to do is ban vadim. Why keep trolls in the forums?

No, with a GTX 1080Ti which run normal games even faster than the RTX 2070.

The only scores I've cared about are the 720p scores and the OC Ryzen 5 2600 win there.

Data: https://www.techspot.com/review/1627-core-i5-8400-vs-ryzen-5-2600/

The Ryzen 5 2600 with OC ran the games faster at 720p with a GTX 1080Ti.
For anything less than a GTX 1080Ti or at a higher resolution than 720p the difference become even less relevant but even at that the 2600 with OC and fast RAM win. For multi-threaded non-gaming loads it wins more.

If I played games at 1080p or 1440p or 2160p with a RTX 2070 my CPU would be fine relative an i5 8400. Since it is a bit behind an i7 8700K or i9 9900K it could possibly be behind there at something there.
