You should consider both the socket and the CPU generation when purchasing a new processor. The socket compatibility is essential, but matching the CPU generation ensures optimal performance. For example, an Intel i5-9600K works best with boards supporting its architecture, like the ASUS Prime B250M-K.
It's important to note these differences. LGA 1151 splits into two versions: older models (6th/7th gen, 100/200 series) and newer ones (8th/9th gen, 300 series). You'll need a 300 series chipset for the Ryzen 5 3600. Regarding the 9600K—why that model? The Ryzen 5 3600 performs well overall and is usually more affordable.
Thanks for your reply. I just don't like Ryzen, it feels more like Corsair or HyperX compared to Razer. It might work for the prize, but honestly I prefer something else.
