R5 3600(x)

 

[sizzling]

As you say streaming I’d go up a level to a 3700x

So x or without X?

Is it with 550w its okay?

Without X is cheaper but with x easier to maintain full boost. 3700x would be even better of course.
550W PSU should be fine if good make and model. It's GPU that uses most power.

The x gets you a slightly higher boost clock and a better stock cooler.

As said, for streaming you may want to highly consider the 3700x for the extra cores.

What exact 550w psu?

I have a little problem about my electricity. That 30W difference from 65 to 95 make me confused to upgrade too

That PSU will be fine for a Ryzen 5 3600X and RTX 2060, but I would recommend going for minimum 650watt if you get a 3700X.

What do you mean when you say it comes with a better stock cooler? The Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X come with the Wraith Spire and not the better (but louder) Prism. You need to buy a Ryzen 3000 7 or 9 series to get a Wraith Prism. The Spire isn't that bad for a stock cooler, but you are still better of buying a 120mm tower cooler.

The x does come with the better cooler. 3600 stealth, 3600x spire.

Oh yeah... I think it's time write this down, because I keep forgetting which models come with which coolers for all Ryzen CPUs. The Wraith Stealth is trash for a 3600 and AMD should have just sold it with the Spire which would have been a better fit for a stock cooler.

Maybe i will buy a new 3600 then buy a better cooler like noctua etc

Im with everyone here, if money is important factor then 3600, 3600X or 3700X (in that order).

In that order you get better coolers as you pay more for the cpu, Noctua fans are nice, but you can get a decent level of cooling (and better than stock one) for the Ryzen 5 3600/X with less money.
Keep in mind models like Hyper 212 Black Edition and Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo (among others few) that will give you very decent cooling for a fair price.

3600 or 3600x still good
But if you have the budget 3700x even 3950X is lovable choice

Hmmm thats a good upgrade. But maybe 3600 is enough for gaming. Now using R5 2600 with 2666mhz have a little problem like 1% minimum fps kinda low
