I think that was more or less covered here:

Question - I have a MSI 1660 super and do i need a i5 9600k or i5 9600kf ?

The following components (i didn't buy them, but im planning to unless if you have a better solution) : Motherboard : Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Master wifi RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) SSD : Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD GPU : Msi GeForce GTX 1660 Super So, should i get the i5...

R5 3600 being the easy winner overall.

What did you think about those options?

If the motherboard doesn't itself have wifi you can get inexpensive PCIe cards, or even USB adapters. So you're not limited to picking mobos with onboard wifi.

If I was building a system right now out of those two for gaming I'd go with Ryzen 3600. You'd get an unnoticeable advantage in a few games from Intel, but going forwards you're getting double the threads from Ryzen.

Heres a good review pay attention to the minimum frames rather then the average. Understand that you'll notice dips more then 3 or 4 fps less average. Bad commentary from me there, shouldnt post in a rush. While the statement is true the 3600 is basically level on average with the 9600K according to Gamers Nexus

Heres TPU's results as well, they present an average across their whole suite of games, 10 in this case. At 2560x1440 the difference is less then 1% on average in Intels favour, at 1080p its less then 5 %. In non gaming tests the I5 offers 88% of the performance.

Just to clarify for you. I currently have an Intel 7700K, it was the best option at the time I bought it. I havent had an AMD CPU since a Duron 800 20 years ago. They are currently by far the best option as essentially they are offering comparable single thread (Per core) performance but with potentially double the overall performance (12 threads vs 6) for less money then Intel.

@Ft_albrt, as we have recommended in both of your other threads on the topic, the Ryzen 5 3600 is the clearly superior choice. You should choose a B450 motherboard, as we have also recommended. If you have questions about recommendations or want further information, it is best to keep that discussion in your existing topic rather than creating a new one.
