[SOLVED] Better CPU than the 3600xt For 240$?

[Palaza]

Better CPU for the budget of 240$

Get the 3600.
The XT and X and not really a good deal. You can save more than 60$.
The performance is really similar.

Also, you can wait for the r5 5600X which will be 299$.

Or
Wait for the rumored 5600 which will probably drop at early Q1 2021.

You can wait for the release of the 5000 series to see if the prices for last gen chips will drop.

If you have a microcenter near you, 9700k for $199

For most of the mainstream, the rumored $220 Ryzen 5600 is certainly where I think the money is at. If AMD gets greedy there too, I'll probably end up upgrading my i5-3470 to an i5-11400 instead.

went for the xt for future proofing I guess but is it not worth for future proofing neither?

Core i5 10500 + B460 mobo if you need / want to buy right now.

If not I would wait for the Ryzen 5000 series reviews

Agreed.
At this price point, amd or intel really doesn't matter, unless you snag a good deal for the 3600.
