I'll be replacing my failed delid 7700k today or tomorrow. I found that I can get a 8600K with motherboard for about the same price it would cost to replace my 7700K. So which one would be best for gaming?
If you really can get the 8600k with board for the price of 7700k they surely do that and sell your current board. As said above they are equal and ttrade blows for gaming
They are roughly equal. The 8600k will win when games can take advantage of more than 4 cores while the 7700k is slightly better single and less than 4 core workloads however with its two extra threads it can win in some multithreaded workloads. I would go with the newer setup if price was the same though, it would allow you to upgrade to a 8700k if you wish to in the future.
Would a 7600K last me until ice lake comes out?
Thats the thing. I can easily afford to go with the 8700k, but I am worried it is a bad buy at this time because of DX12 and ice lake. So I just need something to get me through until 2019. Would a 7600K last me until ice lake comes out?
Since you already have a board and everything i think getting a 7600k is the best option but if getting a 8600k+motherboad and 7700k are the same price in your scenario then the 8600k is the better choice, because you could turn around and sell your Z270 board
I'd rather not drive 45 minutes one way to micro center just to find out my z270 board is also broken. Might as well get 8600k and motherboard.
Ive got an 8600k and its a smoking fast chip for gaming and general use scenarios.
Glad to hear that. I plan to buy civilization 6 when it gets patched some more and want good ai turn times.
