Pros

  • I have a PC running the 8600 and 1660 doing well in esports 1080p
  • As "stop gaps," i5-8600 and i5-9400 are in the $30+ range.

Cons

  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600 CPU @ 3.6GHz, 3600 Mhz, 6 Cores, 6 Logical Processors
  • However I still run on my old CPU which is Intel Core i5-8600 @ 3.6ghz While gaming I can see that my usual CPU usage is 99-100% , however the GPU is running around 92% which gives me around 50-65fps
