Is the price difference of just over 30.-, from the i5 8600k to the i5 9600k worth it? Would you prefer the i5 8600k or the i5 9600k? Which Intel processor offers the best price/performance ratio? (or even i7?) Should be available for about 330. And for the i5 9th, is the MB with z390 chipset enough? E.g. the MSI z390 a pro... MfG

Helpful answer
You get almost no extra performance with the 9600k (between -2% and +2% depending on the application).... I would take the 8600k. 390 chipset works for 9th and 8th generation.
You can take an i7 if you want, but it's not crucial for most games. For video editing, etc.. an i7 could still make sense under certain circumstances.

9600k is basically the same 8600k simply soldered. 8600k is the sweet spot and with the head on you have 10-15° less. And to be honest, beheading is not difficult. The liquid metal is also easy to use. The 8auer youtube shows it and it's easy to do.
