have a case and an asus rog 6gb gtx 1060, aswell as a 256 gb samsung ssd from an old build

not sure of the best place for prices atm or what combo to get for best performance

Or if you can hold out a couple months, the next gen AMD might actually completely beat out Intel. You cant really afford Intel at that price point thi, youd have to cut other corners that would lower performance even more.

would the 9600k be a better or worse choice over the 2700?

better technically for gaming but not by much and the price is much more.

and thats with a 8700k which is close to the 9700k.
the amd chip though will handle multitasking/rendering/streaming better though.

Ah, was tired didn't even read the bottom.

Yeah I feel ya, so tired you just go into auto pilot mode.
tbh I got virtually no sleep so I'm feeling it now.

i see most people recommending the 8700k, any reason over the 9700k? i mean the 9700 is only 20$ more

idk tbh, theres 2 more cores and its still 5% increase but I guess people really like them some threads.

They the same for just gaming mostly, it's more like king said the extra threads are nice if you wanna stream or do video rendering.
