Hello I'm thinking of buying one of these CPUs but I can't make up my mind so I play fortnite and want to have lag-free 144fps (have a gtx 1660) besides I cut videos for me lag-free 144fps but does the i5 9400f do that? I have an i3 9100f degree, if there's a better cpu it writes to me but it should be in the budget

Alternatively you can use a ryzen 5 3600. The 10600k is definitely the best i5 in years.

Forgot to say hello it should be on the 1151 mainboard

Then there are no alternatives other than the i5 9600k / 9400f.

For the 1151 v2 socket it will be difficult to recommend something to you. The i5 9400f should be better than the 9600k in terms of price-performance. An i7 9700 (k) cuts a fine figure for cutting and gaming. But spending that high on an outdated platform is no longer worth it.
