I noticed the Ryzen 5 2600 is about 80 less expensive than the 9400F. Is it a better choice for gaming? Or should I keep going with the 9100F?
From a CPU perspective alone, the choice hinges on the cost. The results look alike, though there might be slight gains with Intel. If it's also the most affordable option, opt for Intel. You're unlikely to make a mistake either way.
Here are ten processor options you can consider for a 1070 or 1080:
1. Intel Core i7-8700K
2. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
3. Intel Core i5-13600K
4. AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
5. Intel Core i7-13700K
6. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
7. Intel Core i5-13400K
8. AMD Ryzen 7 5800G
9. Intel Core i7-13700F
10. AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Pro
These should fit well within the form factor of a 1070 or 1080.
