i5 7500 vs i5 8400? Is the money worth it?

greglazor

Hi,

So I've almost bought everything for my first gaming pc build: gtx 1060 6g SSC, 16gb DDR4 Ram, RM550X PSU, Nzxt s340 elite, i5 7500, asrock b250m hdv, 1tb hdd, 256ssd.Keep in mind i got some of these in offer. Ik i could've gone with cheaper case or psu to use the money for cpu or so. Lot of tomshardware user suggested me to get i5 8400 if I'm not going with ryzen. I've got the i5 7500 only for 瞿100 and the motherboard for it is 瞿50. My budget is limited and I'm not a hard core gamer. But i do not wanna regret after building it. I still have the chance to change my cpu and motherboard. Should i go with i5 8400? Remember i also have to get a more expensive mobo (z370p d3). So i5 8400+ cheapest mobo = 瞿250 and i5 7500+ mobo = 瞿150. Is the money worth it? Should i get i5 8400?

Please help.

I didn't find the right soltion from the Internet.
