[SOLVED] 3600X or 3700X for gaming only build?

[Servs]

Im pairing it with a 2080S and an x570 board with 16gb ram. I dont do anything else but game and i dont care about future proofing as i upgrade about every 2 years. Is the 3700X a big difference in gaming or is the 3600X about the same?

the 3600X should be fine. differences aren't too big.

Only difference is 3700X got two extra cores and 4 extra threads and boost clock is 4.4GHz and 3600X got 6 Cores And 12 Threads and Boost Upto 4.4ghz but if you can afford it then go with 3700X

I'd get the 3700X, which will make choosing to upgrade in a mere 2 years time optional...

If we knew for certain that X570 boards will work with Ryzen 4000 desktop CPUs, then perhaps a 3600 would do nicely, and it could be replaced in a years time with an 8c/16t model once their prices drop 8-12 months afterward...
