Which one is a better deal? >i7 7700k for $255 or >i5 7600k

Get the i7.

Always go with the best hardware u can get if u can get it

i7 and you'll want the fastest DDR4 you can afford.
My opinion is DDR4-3200 at 15-15-15-35 at the very least.

A 4790K @ 4.9GHz on 240mm water radiator.
You get every feature barring ECC and the highest IPC Intel has ever released.

Alright, getting the i7 then.

>this one is going to replace a Phenom II 965
you should have got a i7 9xx like everyone else

mine was still going stronk when i sidegraded to my i5 4690

Get the i5 if you dont game or multitask much

get the i7 and good DDR4 FAST ram 3000mhz+

>>58735687
Phenom was much cheaper and even the i5 went over my budget back then. I live in eastern europe and everyone here makes 4 times less than in USA, while the hardware is more expensive (as seen in the OP).

Well, anyway, thanks for the tips, I'll get the i7 and some fast ram to go with it.

>4790K
Hah...
That's not the 5775C.

where are you seeing a 7700k for $250?

>>58735819
Intel employee benefits :^)
It's actually much cheaper, but I included the sales tax (which is applied from the retail price, not the discounted one), and the sales tax here is really high.

>>58734634
False

ryzen 8c8t cpu for $250 :^)

>>58736866
oy vey goyim can you hook me up with one too?

if you have enough money for an i7 without having to compromise the GPU, get it.

>>58733990
If ur in Montreal hit me up, ill buy u lunch or something

Buy the best gear u can take if u program

>the 5775C

Is this CPU a meme or not? I've spent the last few days researching it, and all I've been able to determine is enthusiasts basically ignored this chip because of when it came out and its availability issues, and that kaby with very fast DDR4 is comparable if not outright better.

It's a CPU that cost more than the 4790K but less than the 6 core CPU while performing above the 4790K even though it's only 3.2GHz.
Thanks to it's 128MB L4 cache it is a real monster and it's also the CPU with the fastest iGPU beating all of AMDs APU when it comes to games.
