Or try get a pre-owned 4690k on ebay and OC to ride out the storm?? 4.2-4.6Ghz should be easily achievable. Its the cheapest most bang for buck option given that id rather hold out for second gen ryzen.

My dad has an 1150 board so If you want to sell your current CPU for the 4690k I might take it off you. Not looking at paying a huge lot for it though... just m8s r8s cuz my dads a cheap bastard

If i hold out for second gen id be waiting for sale again for it and then it be process of oh wait for 3rd gen..the waiting game sure is painful lol.

I was looking out for 4770k and 4790k aswell but pricey even for used.

No worries. I was just making a suggestion as my dad is using an i3 4130 system i built for him some time ago. the i5 would help him get a few more years out of his PC. Its a win win for both of us if you manage to grab a pre-owned CPU. Ive already had a chat with him about it and hes open to the idea of it so long as the price is good.

look for ram at ~3000mhz as ram speed impacts performance of infinity fabric up to 3200mhz. with 2400 ram you might be a bit disappointed from ryzen performance

Gamed on it yet? Can you tell the difference between you i5 and the R5?

Had quick go on rotr on ultra and the game ran a lot smoother. Been trying find a demanding game to test it out more. Gpu usage on cod was hovering around same as the i5 but it was a lot smoother still. But that could be the optimisation of the game.

Yeah but the i5 does offer more performance albeit at a premium i think an R5 was like £230

True the 1600x is £220-230.

Looking at some of the benchmarks. The 8600k still slays the 1700 when it comes to gaming.

The day when ram is cheap again is when it be worthwhile investment lol.

I should of bought a 1440p monitor with 144hz freesync instead of another 1080p lol but could never find one that is reasonably price and not TN.

I did a comparable AMD build too...

Not a huge saving. I'd save even more if i dropped down to an R5 1600 or 1600X but since my 3930k is quite heavily OC'd it would be more of a sidegrade at best.

If i dropped the CPU down to a 1600X it would cost me a total of £552
