Ryzen 5 2600x vs ryzen 5 2600 vs i5 8400

[Žega]

Hi there,
I need help with my choice ,if there is any person who knows something about hardware...
So the doubt is what should i buy to upgrade my PC.
should i go with ryzen 5 2600x (or ryzen 5 2600 which is less expensive) with
Gigabyte AMD GA-B450M-DS3H AM4 and 16 gb hyper x fury 3200 mhz ram

or should i go with I5 8400 with Gigabyte Intel H310M H S1151 and 16 gb hyper x fury 2666 mhz ?

i am mostly playing multiplayer games like pubg,cod,bf1,bf5,rust,WOW,WOT,LOL....
I already have a gpu which is Gtx 1070 gigabyte extreme ....
So whats the best solution?
And curreantly i am using i7 2600 with 16 gb ddr3 which seems like bottleneck :(

For the price-to-performance value, AMD outshines Intel, but is beaten by Intel in raw performance by itself if one has a much higher budget and wants top-end performance, which really only matters right now if you wanted an 8700K or better.

The best option is to go with the Ryzen 5 2600, but I would recommend Corsair Vengeance LPX CL15 DDR4-3000 RAM because the latency is lower than most DDR4 kits which are CL16, but not nearly as expensive as CL14 kits. Going 3000 MHz vs 3200 MHz won't make a huge difference, and Ryzen will benefit from the lower latency more than the extra DRAM frequency.

Since the 2600 got released the 8400 kind of became pointless, if your happy to oc yourself (and you should) the 2600x is also kind of a waste, even if you don't, the added speed isn't worth more unless it's very little extra at the time of purchase.

The 8400 was replaced by the 9400 / 9400f cpus. f means no integrated gpu. If you were in the US you could get a good cpu/mobo/memory combo deal but Poland I don't know.

Regarding what to buy, check game benchmarks especially for bf5. Some 64-player games might run better on amd or intel. Gpu might limit the performance too.

If it was rpg's I'd say the 9400f as it has a faster single-thread speed if prices were even. Multiplayer I don't really know. I think there might be a price difference in EU.

Ryzen 2600x has XFR2 and 2600 overclocks plus 12 threads the vanilla i5 does neither and limited to 6 threads.

Ryzen 2 is on the way this summer stay tuned for more value packed cpus, LOL.

Hi there,

Hello,

I would recommend you the Ryzen 5 2600X which it has more power than the other two and it will last longer.

Good luck!

Id go with the 9400f if you just play games.

2600X will not last much longer than the 2600 because they are almost identical; the only difference is that the 2600X chips are higher rated binned chips, while the 2600s were just lower rated. They are virtually the same CPU, and it's not worth paying an extra 35$+ for the same CPU with a higher base clock when both of them have the same features and will give very similar performance results.

The 2600 is the best value of the bunch.

Systems with the 9400F would still cost a little bit more and all of the cost efficient motherboards are from Coffee Lake generation and require a BIOS update, which would require a CPU supported by the BIOS just so you could update the BIOS to support the 9400F.

2600 builds yield higher performance per dollar even though Intel gaming builds yield better results in games, and even then the difference between the 2600s and 9400F is not a huge gap. It's a matter of what a buyer's budget is; if you're planning on paying up to 1000$ US, you're better off going with Ryzen, especially after Zen 2 releases if the Ryzen 3 chips are comparable to current R5s, or better, for much less.

If you are near a brick-and-mortar Micro Center, the Ryzen 5 1600 is $80, and you get $30 off a compatible motherboard (any board)... Crazy good deal!

With a cheap enough board, that's pretty nuts.

Intel i5-8400 has about twice as much theoretical performance power as Ryzen 2600X.

I went with ryzen 2600 and I’d do it again in a heartbeat

Thank you all for replying ,u really helped me a lot with making a desicion ,I'll try to do litlle more research...for now i think the 2600 would be a good choise but will see...

Yep, you are good if you go with Ryzen 5 2600 but consider 2600x which it's more powerful and has a good value.

You are welcome.

How do you get to that conclusion, ipc is very similar, they clock about the same (in favour of ryzen) and the 2600 has the extra threads.

Youre wrong.
2600 and 2600x are the same CPU except the x has slightly higher clocks. Which you can get on the 2600 by overclocking.

I too, would like to see him pull that out of his arse.
