Its basically easy thing to tell that its performance is soooooo gooooood … If u wanna game then throw an 8 gigs of RAM and at least GTX 1050Ti to get the maximum out of it

Brought this little beast for 12k from Amazon , now its going by 19k. Very good mid range CPU just pair it with gtx 1060 and 16GB ram. Then see the magic. Not recommend to buy to 20k though.

It took sometime though coz it was delivered from Lexington, USA. Product was sealed. Nice packaging. It is very good for 1080p gaming. It is also very value for money . I got it for 20k even though it was around 23 k at that time. It is better than 8500 since it is more costly and has a small increase in performance.

At first I was thinking of getting the overclockable version, but coming from a potato laptop with a 4th gen i7 processor, I was okay with getting this version i5-8400, I like it, it’s snappy fast, all works good so far, and i’m happy to say that, because I’ve never built a PC before and I just did 2 days ago by watching youtube tutorials lol, but I realized that if I wanted the i5-8600k I needed to get a more expensive motherboard, so I ended up saving lots of money to invest in the GPU and other peripherals. —————————————————————————————————————————————–
UPDATE 2/25/2019 :
After about a month of using my PC with this processor, I haven’t had any issues with it! installed Extreme utility Tool for intel to verify the temps of the processor, Playing fornite after 1 – 3 hours, it has not exceeded more than 57 Degrees, so it was always pretty cool, I’m using the CPU cooler Deepcool Gammaxx 400 white LED. CPU usage never exceeded 75% I believe also while playing/rendering, used this processor with the Asus dual GTX 1060 6GB + 16GB 2400mhz Ram. For an 8 minute video in 1080p 60fps format, it took about 10-20 minutes of rendering ( of course load is both on the CPU and GPU during this process) , paired with the board : B360M DS3H + SSD Adata 240GB, the PC boots in 13-16 seconds from the moment I press the power on button on my computer.
I am happy I went with this processor instead of the i3-8100 ( which I was thinking of at first ) but my friend suggested an i5 of the 8th gen at least for basic future proofing .
( BTW ) my YT channel is : Zealous Pumpkin check me out ! I do meme edits and funny videos about fortnite lol!

3 months in using this beautiful underrated CPU! This thing is really nice , For any interested gamer , Fortnite 1080p Maxed out an i5-8400 CPU + GTX 1060 6GB will play from 60-90fps , I cap my fps to 120 with my custom settings and with unlimited fps, it can reach 200fps+ sometimes and minimum 120. this processor with the right cooler, has never gone over 60C for me , and I live in quite a hot country btw. got this for 179.99$ before black friday and have never seen it go lower than that ( Just once on May-August 2018) for the same price but never again , so it was a great deal.

Best processor for the budget gamers. You cannot overclock it but you don’t have to overclock it. This processor can do everything. Runs on 3.8 GHz. Smooth as butter. I can stream any game with no lag or stutter. If you want to overclock your processor then go for the unlocked processors such as 8600k. But for me, this does the job without the need for overclocking it.

Note: Price should be around ₹13-14.5k, not 16k (Just something to keep in mind).
