U think r5 2400g is better than a i5 7400

[Luís]

I have a i5 7400b I want to get the r5 2400g I heard it's better

Rest of specs
GPU:GTX 1060 6gb
Ram: 12gb 2133mhz
Power supply: 650w

That will be a side grade.

And that is an APU, so unless you plan on using the Vega I-GPU don't buy one. CPUs like the 1600 are at the same price point as the 2400g and are much better.

Buy a used 7700k.

Budget is 300 for it also want to add an extra ram

[InfinityJosh]

Why?
7400 is still good and perfect for a GTX 1060.
Wait until your CPU will start to be too weak, at least other 2/3 years should be able to run all games very well (1080p 60 fps high).

That is a terrible advice. This platform is dead, you are better of getting a brand new i5 8600k for less than the 7700k and overclocking it to get better performance.

But can I use RGB fan?

If your budget is 300 and you want to buy a new cpu/ram you will also need a new mobo. Mobo+ram+cpu will cost you more than 300 unless you want to buy used parts from previous gerenations.

Yes if you want to waste your money on useless things

[Luís]

Well I have 750 extra to spend but 300 is the maximum I'm willing to spend on a cpu

lol, dude. OP already has the 1151-v1 mobo, if he goes 8th gen he will need a new 1151-v2 mobo. And if OP only games he isn't going to see much difference between the 4c/8t and 8c/8t CPUs.

used 7700k = ~$200
8600k + mobo = ~$350

Yup I might aswell get a ryzen could R5 1700x for the fire upgradeability

Then you will still have to get a new mobo whick means you will still have to spend ~$350-ish. Also new Ryzen CPUs will release in only a few hours, if you do go Ryzen get a 2700 or 2600.

Hmm I actually haven't hear of that I'm going to wait to see performance I've been wanting to change to amd for a while now
