Hello. I am about to upgrade my CPU from Ryzen 5 1500 and I did like to ask which one should I buy to be honest?
I am gaming guy, I do not make any videos or neither I stream. It may be in future, but lets say I don't do that.
I play mostly the bigger games, Apex Legends, League of Legends, Black Ops 4 and so on.
What's the better option is?
I've MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard with AMD4 socket and GPU is Gigabyte 1080

AMD Ryzen 7 2700x (310 Euro atm) or AMD Ryzen 5 2600x (180 Euro atm)

Is there a big difference while playing between them and is it really worth to pay 130 Euro more for 2700x?

@ EDIT: Maybe worth to add, I am using two monitors while playing, one is for gaming and second one for some things to do, YouTube, Discord, something like that.
 
Solution
With a B350 motherboard you will be more limited on the overclock (if desired). You should also consider the price of a plain 2600 and 2700 in your purchase decision.
