Help me which CPU to buy,2600x vs 1700 vs 1700x

[Robert_126]

I am buying new parts,and I can't really decide between ryzen 5 2600x,ryzen 7 1700 and 1700x,in my country all three of them are almost same price.
I am mainly gonna use it for 3D modeling,rendering,video editing,multitasking and some light gaming.
And Im sorry if this question has been asked before

a ryzen 7 would be better performing in more demanding tasks perhaps.

Given your usage, I would go with the 1700 - unless you want to buy an aftermarket CPU cooler for the 1700x or 2600x.

The 8 core / 16 thread will be great for your 3D modeling and rendering.

Thank you for answering ,I decided to go for 1700x and aftermarket cooler,and I saw MSI Core Frozr L wich I can get for cheap price?
Is it worth it,or should I get something like noctua nh-u12s or cryorig h5?
I am not planing to overclock to much maybe just to 3,9 or 4,0 if stable

Get the 1700 for the best value. If overclocked it can reach ~3.9 GHz on average maximum, usually on 3.7-3.8 GHz for non extreme overclocks from its 3.0 GHz base. Also comes with good cooler.

If you want a better shot at hitting 4 GHz, you can get the Ryzen 1700X, but for this case you might as well get the Ryzen 2700X.

Ryzen 2600X is fastest Ryzen 6 core out of the box, and OCs up to 4.35 GHz tops. But not recommended since 8 cores provide more multithreaded performance.

In summary:
For your use case, stretch for the Ryzen 2700X. If not, get the Ryzen 1700 and OC

Have a good day
