base clock plays a minor role overall; it should stay near 3.8ghz when under stress, assuming proper cooling. Recent checks show even the stock cooler in Intel can manage it, though it might be a bit noisy.

It would also interest me to find out which motherboard he’s using, since that could affect whether a 9700k or 9900k would perform well.

You're running an MSI H31M Pro-M2 Plus and considering a RAM upgrade to 16GB. Decide based on your needs and compatibility.

Sure, I understood your point. From 8 to 16 GB would definitely be a good range.

I also looked up a PC for my friend and discovered this pre-built model... https://hardwarerat.de/computerpc/gaming...ows-10-ssd It’s a solid choice for someone just starting out.

It will perform slightly better but won't make a big difference. The boost is minimal—around 1-2% over the 8400. In this trial, it lagged just once while the other version was faster or within a small error margin. Upgrading isn't justified by the cost.
