Intel i5 8400 vs AMD Ryzen 5 2600x

I have been having problems with my computer for a long while now. I am chalking it up to the motherboard being the issue but I idk.

So I want to upgrade my system from an i7 4790 to either of these two options listed above.

I heard that with the security exploits found in Intel CPUs that the patch sent out to fix them has slowed the CPUs down significantly.

Which one would you recommend? I'll be getting a new motherboard and RAM but keeping my 750 watt power supply, storage devices and RAM.

and case. Lol. Not RAM.

i got my 2600 (non x) for $150 with the nice stock cooler too. havent had any issues in the month ive had it.
both intel and amd have securities issues with spectre/meltdown.

Ryzen 3 is like 10 days away from reveal why would you upgrade now?

>I want to upgrade my system from an i7 4790
a 6 core ryzen 5 is an upgrade from that cpu, an i5 isnt and this

seriously thanks dudes

this is the kind of advice I was looking for

Btw what is the Ryzen 3? Hasn't that been released?

Both the 8400 and the 2600x are a sidegrade to a 4790. Just wait
