Why the fuck would someone put a locked SKU in a z370.

Just wait for their lower end board to be released

/E For the same money get a 1600X and a B350 motherboard

lol that's what i said in that thread in the computer building section and got flamed by everyone, so i made a meme to make me feel better

Like either of the two solutions I proposed were better

8400 is fine, just wait for the cheaper Mobo... or get ryzen and b350

the guy had a 7700k though which was 319, so even getting an 8600k would be ideal and under his budget (only $279), but stock is scarce to be fair

but yes 8400 is good, only on the other mobos as u said

cuz it's the only board available right now, and still better than the 1600,1700,7700k etc in gaming.

while overclocking the 8600k shows the usual 1-10fps boost in performance when OC'd high as 5.1ghz at 92C

I know it's a very hard concept to understand, but hopefully one day you will understand it as well.
Wait til 2018 q1 to use the 8400? might as well say "why the fuck would anyone buy any CPU's available right now, just wait for Ryzen 2's" etc.
