You're considering upgrading from your R5 2600 to an i5 9600K. While it's true the i5 9600K is cheaper and shares many features, there are notable differences beyond the graphics chip. The i5 9600K offers better performance for most tasks, improved power efficiency, and enhanced support for newer technologies. These factors can make a significant difference in your overall computing experience.

You might switch from a 6C/12T to a 6C/6T to adjust the configuration for better performance or compatibility with specific equipment.

You understand you’d have to purchase a new motherboard. Ideally, opt for a premium Ryzen processor such as the 2700X or a similar high-end chip from the 3000 lineup, which would let you maintain your current board.

Wouldn't it be better to move up to a 3600? You might not need another graphics card either.

That’s the main distinction. “Kf” CPUs are Intel’s method of selling faulty GPU chips. They simply turn off the graphics card, and most users won’t mind because gamers usually don’t rely on built-in graphics anyway. Plus, you won’t gain much from a 9600k clock speed. Hold off for the 2020 models at least.
