Okay, then buy the 8400 with a z370 mobo then... very smart

oh ok, so you're still mad that you have a personal problem you cant deal with due to your narrow minded ignorance. If it should be removed, it would've been. Too bad majority of the people don't view a 28yr old asian as a child like you do though.

So you recommend OP to spend $70 more on a CPU that isn't available, just so he can take advantage of the z370 mobo? How so?? by OCing? do you even know he will overclock? or if $70 is worth ~10fps boost to OP?
8600k is a poor price / perf CPU, and intel is pretty much schooling ppl like you to buy the 8600k instead of 8400 just because of the fact that they only have z370 boards available atm.
It's also not useless money he is spending because he needs it to use a 187$ CPU that outperforms 7600k for cheaper. What do you not understand about this?

"it's also cheaper than the 7700k and is an absolute monster in performance"
8400 is also much cheaper than 7700k and 8600k and is an absolute monster in performance for the cost you pay. Oh but don't get it! because you're overpaying like $40 on a mobo you NEED, instead spend $70+ more on a CPU you may or may not even overclock with, and also that isn't available because you can take advantage of the mobo!! that extra 10fps will be worth the $70+ premium. -john miller.
how about he just spends the extra on a 1060?



he's not wrong, you don't buy 8400 only to sell it right away for a 8600k.

And you know if he is? You're making just as much assumptions.

I did not say "sell it right away", btw, that's just you distorting/interjecting words in my mouth, which is kinda of sad tbh. I said later, if he wanted to upgrade he could sell it and take advantage of the z370 mobo.

and the 8600k is far cheaper than the 7700k and performs better

Edit: Also, lol @ 28 yr old, you sir.. need to seek help

Lol you are jealous

Fyi depending on vendor he could be taking advantage of many features of a z board even with a locked cpu

Mahh 8400 is soo tolerant!

lol newb cant handle complex overclocking, and you have no clue what bclk strap is I even gave you a link that states pcie and dmi are locked at 100

lol newbieness

and seen your nonsense on ltt too, where you start bitching about stock and cnl being a flop you are really lost arent you

Lol, except the mobo that Secksii told him to buy DOESN'T HAVE the bclk strap on it. only the asrock boards can do that on the 8400 is what is being reported right now
