Thinking of what I should go for. Going to be gaming only.
Looked at benchmarks, but still can't choose.
Want something that will give me good performance, and will last for a long time.

Edit: If intel, what motherboard would you recommend? Don't want to throw too much money at it.

What would be better, Intel 8600K vs Ryzen 5 1600

Intel 8600K
Ryzen 5 1600

If you're targeting 60fps it doesn't really matter, if you're going for 144fps, then Intel all the way.

Not exactly, built my friend a Ryzen 7 build and he games at around 200 FPS on his games.

Your GPU bottlenecks you, not your CPU at this point.

if it is ONLY and ONLY for gaming I would go for intel, otherwise it's stupid at the moment!

intel in that case, the 1600 is mostly a weak cpu.

Kinda depends on what you are looking for. I'm always looking at price/performance and AMD usually wins that. Single core used to be much better on INTEL but that time is slowly passing. Right now AMD is giving INTEL a fight for their money. INTEL is still ahead as far as pc gaming is concerned but honestly, i think that has more to do with games being developed with intel in mind. Whenever a game is developed with AMD in mind you usually see much better performance.

That will be obsolete soon, with more and more devs acknowledging Ryzen you can see that Intel does not beat the Ryzen in all the new games and if its the case it's only by a a small 5 fps usually.

I would have to say skip intel altogether regardless mostly jsut basing off my own experience with an old intel laptop that strangely runs games it's not supposed to be able to but can't run others that says it can xD. I'm planning on getting an Asus Rog strix in the future someday.

Why Intel vs. AMD when you can have Intel & AMD in the same chip? :-)

This is a day old, but if you still did not decide, maybe it can help. The price difference in the CPUs is 50 dollars, with motherboards, it can be anywhere from 20 to 100 dollars.

While the can be an argument on real life performance, still you do understand that these are two completely different price ranges >?
I mean ryzen + a b350 mobo will be like 250$
While intel + z370 is somewhere near 550$

Even settling for an i5 would make it in 400$ so ofcourse price beats the performance, but does one really need to pay so much ?
