Checking out CPU options for gaming like Fortnite with a GTX 1070. You have an i5 4690K and are thinking about upgrading from that. You’re curious if the i7 10700F is suitable for gaming, especially with settings tweaks needed. The i5 10600K seems more affordable, while the Ryzen 5 3600 offers good value. Fortnite runs smoothly without heavy rendering unless you adjust shadows in settings.

For heavy gaming, the 10600k offers sufficient power since current systems don’t support 8-core scaling. It also outperforms the 3600 in performance, though you might want to wait for Zen 3’s release to see its real capabilities against Comet Lake and Zen 2.

The existing i5 models perform well for gaming tasks. However, AMD recently revealed their upcoming Ryzen 5000 chips set to release in early November. These could potentially outperform the current i5. I recommend waiting until they launch before checking reviews.

For an upgrade now using all threads, the i7 10700F is recommended. For just gaming, the i5 10600K or Ryzen 5 3600 will suffice. If you have time, Zen 3 will be available on November 5th with the new Ryzen 5000 chips. It might be worth waiting a few weeks to evaluate their performance. They already demonstrate an edge in gaming with the 5950X versus the i9 10900K (same core and thread counts), making them quite impressive.
