The Intel Core i5-9600k was Intel's second generation of Coffee Lake CPUs, and like the first generation, rocks 6 cores and 6 threads! However, given that specs have changed, and we've lost hyperthreading- how does the 9600k perform in gaming in 2021?
If you're actually reading the description and you're reading this- thanks for watching! Also 'chonky'.
Building a Budget PC can be tough. Not only are GPUs and CPUs so incredibly expensive, but they can be hard to find on a budget... But, there are tips and tricks to finding you your dream Budget GPU, and pairing it with a CPU that will give you the performance you want!
Have a Great Day!

Copped an i5-9600k for $125 with an MSI Z390 for $70...9th gen socket for under $200 :D
Great review as I intend to use this rig for gaming only
It is a great runner...You can throw a 3080 on it and it won't choke. Solid chip at 5.0ghz. Too many people getting animated about CORES that speed is important. 9700K, is decent - But 9900K you need a real quality MOBO to overclock a 9900K because the power required is substantial and the VRM's take a kicking and actually the headroom for overclocking a 9900K is not much at all.
Got mine a month ago for $145. Found a MSI z390 a-pro on ebay for 60 bucks. Slapped my 1070 and 3000mhz ram with it. Love the ability to overclock any of my parts when i need that extra fps boost but these chips are perfect for gaming
I paid 400 for my combo :/
Okay so you compared all of these chips with stock overclocks right? on all these games? what about after overclocking though..
Nice thanks for the review I have the 9600k and I'm really thinking about upgrading to a 8 core cpu latest sku and I'm on 1440p 165hz 32 inch now. And do a sff build with my gtx 1060 6gb. :)
I had i5 760 until 2018 i hope I5 9600K would be working good and will be enough at least the same amount of time
Can confirm about Doom being about the GPU.
I have an i5 8600 (just purchased a 9600k discounted) with a 2080ti and it pushes 300+ fps consistently with no dips.
Doom runs on everything.
Will this work with a 3060? I'm a noob to pcs

Quality review, thank you. I have a 9600k and was thinking about an upgrade, being mostly a gamer i think I will hang on to this guy a little longer!
im still on a 7600k lol
am buying this in a week , worth it ?
Waiting for 12th gen
@@sayed6096 no , u should go ryzen 5 3600 if the price is similar
Im still rockin 9600k@5ghz and a rx7800xt. doing fine stil in high settings in mw2, alan wake 2 and more.
A friend gifted me his old 9600K paired with a TUF Z390 Pro board along with a GTX 970 and I could not be happier gaming on my 60hz monitor.
you can even use rtx 3060ti in future
if you'd like to upgrade a budget gpu, u should get the 1660 super because it can handle heavy games like warzone and its also cheap(but not cheap cheap, mor like below 300 dollars)
@@arealbread8559 they are almost literally the same no reason to buy that id rather waste my money on better then is just me
dude just buy a cheap 144 hz monitor if your card have displayport connection. you can buy from the bay for some bucks... its worth it, believe me ; )
Bro your friend loves you
I’m extremely lucky, bought a pc with no storage and graphics card for 180, came with prime z390p, i59600k 16 ram 650 psu and a nice case, put my rx580 and swapped a couple cables and it runs perfect
...and when you woke up your pillow was stuck in your a77, right?
I don’t suppose you play warzone? And if so what’s the performance like with your setup because mines going to be quite similar
@@jackreynolds3457 I had the same exact build and warzone was the roughest. I could do medium settings with the rx580 and same cpu at 80 fps

Hello, little question, I currently have an I5 9600K / 1070TI / TX750 / 16gb 3200 / 1080p 144hz. I am an apex legends / tarkov / rocket league player I would like to upgrade my pc to 2x for lack of budget. do you advise me to upgrade the GPU or rather the GPU? I would like to finally switch to a stable 1440p at 144hz thank you :)
obviously the gpu
I have pc spec :
i5 9600k
Mobo msi z370 tomahawk
Ram 2x8 gskill tridentz 3200 oc
Psu corsair hx750i
Gpu evga 1070 ftw 2x8 pin
Cooler corsair h100i v2
I need upgrade gpu for more better, can you tell me what the best gpu for my pc?
Thanks before
Hi Proceu Tech,
Got to know the channel a few months ago and since then don't miss a beat.
Current build:
i5 8400
GTX 1060 6gb (+190 core clock, + 575 memory clock, stock core voltage with Afterburner)
Gigabyte z370 HD3 (yeah not great for high-end cpu's but dont intend to OC, bios is updated to the latest)
32gb RAM (4x8gb) 3000mhz cl16
PSU Seasonic focus 550w Gold
240hz 1080p Alienware monitor
I play semi-competitive csgo, LOL and BF1/BF5 for fun with friends. built this rig around 3 years ago and was thinking of upgrading the GPU last Christmas but the prices are just ridiculous for a RTX 3060 TI/3070 or RX 6800.
I have 2 great offers right now for CPU upgrade, 9700k for 210€ and 9900k for 290€ (both new), i still use an old Thermalright Silver Arrow for CPU cooling that works great with the i5 and i think should be ok to handle the stock 9700k/9900k.
In your opinion should i do this "small" CPU upgrade, since prices are super low, or should i wait and just upgrade the GPU when prices return to normal. Since csgo is cpu bound and it's my main game i think this is a good move (price/performance ratio), what do you think?
Thanks for the feedback and keep up the good work :D
Your rig actually sounds similar to what I had in the past!
I would go for a 9700k. It’s a great chip, and costs way less. Plus, your motherboard would be able to handle it, even with an OC (I overclocked my 9700k to 4.9GHz All core on my Z370 before I upgraded!)
Also, thanks for the support! :D
Thanks a lot for the quick feedback, was hesitant on the 9700k cause of the 16 threads on the 9900k for future Battlefield games. If GPU prices return to normal pairing it with the rtx 3070 makes sense for 1080p or is it overkill?
1080p is perfect for the 3070! In fact that’s probably a bit overkill!
@@ProceuTech Gtx 1080 i7 9700k or i5 9600k
My i5-9600k all cores 5gz and I have hit 5.1 I paired it with a Gigabyte Z390 ram over clock 3200 and a 3070 ti Running a LG ultra gear 32 inch gaming monitor at 165 Hz HD 2560+1440 every game I play is on ultra and high settings always over 100 FPS MSI 850 power supply and water cooled
Do you think there will be bottleneck if I pair 9600k with 3060 on 1080p resolution?
@@GauravNikoBellic not at all cuz I have the exact same specs and it performs amazing.
@@justaguyontheinternet4498 thanks for your response
Does power supply matter... got a i5 9600k with 3060ti and bottlenecks ... even at 4.6htz
@@GauravNikoBellicno
so at high setting the 9600k is good though ? since the test is at low setting
Most of settings dont affect CPU usage lowering settings is to show if CPU is bottleneck if you have the same amount of fps with the same GPU, i5 9600k and i9 9900k you dont have CPU bottleneck but if you have less fps wit I5 9600K and the same GPU you have CPU bottleneck and CPU bottleneck is alot worse than GPU bottleneck because almost nothing can be done about this except upgrading CPU on top of that overloaded CPU can cause problems like freezes, stuttering, sound freezes, make PC lagg etc.
Does power supply matter... got a i5 9600k with 3060ti and bottlenecks ... even at 4.6htz
a r5 3600 is like 160eur used here in germany atm, and the 9600k is like 100-130, pretty much a budget gaming beast here
Last night i bought I5 9600k with Z390 Aorus wifi for 125$ it is a good deal right?
i got a 8700 non-k, i am planning to upgrade, should I go for the 9600k? it is 170 on amazon. I've been checking benchmarks and gaming performance is similar to i7 and i9 when all are oced to 5.0 GHz. Should i move from i7 8600 to i5 9600k. i got a z390 mb.
i7 8700 is better than 9600k, u will have much less stuttering in cpu heavy games, even ur max fps can be lower. 12 threads are very important nowadays
I'm upgrading to a 9600k from a 4790k. In the hope that the 9900k drops in future markets.
that wont happen. you should just jump straight to a 9900k or a 10th gen cpu.
Jump to a 9900k. I just went from the 9600k to the 9900k and it was WORTH it! The i9 used to be 870.99 where i live and i managed to get it for 512 afte tax and shipping. Might as well commit 🤷
@@mcLOVINdonalds wait, did you spend 512 for a 9900k 6 months ago?
LMAO, you got scammed big time mate.
Especially if you paid 512$ for the 9900k in q4 2021 nearly 2022.
@@aliabazzi1198 idk where u live, but the same i9 9900k is $870 rn. I got it for the lowest price it was ever sold for in my city... so i was supposed to buy a new mobo as well? Any better chip wouldve cost me 700 minimum for the chip and the board to run it... this is canadian pricing. When 30 series dropped, 3060s were $550 for the 2 fan joints
@@aliabazzi1198 i was bothered by what u commented so i went and checked... neweggs cheapest price in history (in canada) for the i9 9900k was april 2021 at $569.99. I got it for around $512* after taxes... literally the cheapest it ever was. Its now average $870 - $1000... only way i got scammed was "not buying ryzen". 🤣 intel everyday!
I got this to 5.1ghz on air with a silent fan.
I've got mine running at 4.7ghz works great for me!
Voltage? I'm just asking out of curiosity! :D
@@ProceuTech On CPU-Z it says it's running at 1,3v, I'm pretty sure it's good but I'm quite new to OC too.
1.3v should be fine. I run my i7-11700k at 1.35v and as long as you’re able to keep it cool, it should be fine!
@@ProceuTech have mine at 4.8 1.32v and stays below 60 for gaming. Can reach up to 70 under max load with avx
im worried about cpu usage and hitches stuttering
just lock the chip[ at 5ghz and you wont notice much stutter
@@lo_chapman_fg4 I dont think all 9600k can run that fast (like silicon lottery wize) but i could definately be wrong
@@kingderpington6082 you’re correct in saying that. I should have said “try and oc it”. Fortunately mine will hit 5.0ghz easily
just buy a better cpu.
But can it run Minecraft?
Can I use it without GPU for gaming in 2022?
sure lol
The integrated graphics can run some games (overwatch, Kenshi, csgo) but you'll probably want to buy a gpu. If you want a good cheap 1080p gpu get a 6600
TLDR; 9600k is fine for everything. No one running an 8700k should ever have to upgrade until about 2030, realistically.. unless you're running multiple 4k monitors for gaming. it's a max 1080 setup.
I got lucky on a second hand Deal with a 9600kf, asrock b365m pro4 and 16gb ram for just €100
Im still using the i5-9600k its still a beast together with rtx3080 ti
You be good for another 3 years
@@Saltycheese7 Cyberpunk 2077 sometimes drops 60fps in crowded areas with 9600k on top of that if you enable raytracing CPU usage skyrock to 95-100 all time and you drop to 40fps.
@@Extreme96PL I play at 1080 p 30fps is good for me did u overclock yet?
@@Saltycheese7 didnt tried yet. I prefer to have 60fps 30 is way too low for me.
@@Extreme96PL yeah I’m going to overclock once I get the 3060 ti and my ram I think it would hold up for three years when I do this
i9 9900k drop in price yet? no I didn't think so...
I'm buying it once it does maybe not tomorrow but I promised to shove the best of the best into my MSI H370 carbon gaming
hmm apex looked kinda weird ngl xD
mine never went past 70w
Did you overclock your chip?
I have an i5-9600k, no heat issues or whatever but it sucks extremely bad. It performs worse than a 10 year old 4th gen i5, which my gf is still using.
I have an RTX3070 and it's a complete joke, in all games the card is basically at 10% load, meanwhile the CPU is choking to death and I get sub 60 fps on older games even on medium settings. Avoid this CPU like the plague. It's so bad I'm even considering finally leaving Intel as a customer.
well pairing 9600k with rtx 3070 is a joke in a first place. I paired 9400F with 4060. GPU at 60%. Looks like time for new comp.
I know this is old now but wtf are you talking about? I have the i5 9600k paired with 3060ti and 16gb 3200 speed and I can run litterally anything on high ultra setting haha I have zero issues. 850 psu
6 threads is only going to get worse with time, it's fine if you only play old/esports games though
seriously????? I did a comparison with a lot of games nobody plays anymore and forgot Fortnite?? basically the game that demand the most out of your CPU right now, and basically the most played and competitive game at moment LOL
