[SOLVED] Is the ryzen 7 2700x a good processor ?

Solution
Yes is a good processor. For just pure gaming though the Ryzen 3600 is better due to its stronger single core performance over 2nd gen Ryzens.

However if you stream, multitask or use other heavy multi core/thread applications then the 2700 is a better option.

What price are you getting the 2700X for?

That's a good deal for a new 2700X. Like I said it depends more on what you are going to do. Pure gaming machine get the 3600. If you plan on streaming, photo editing, CAD etc then the 2700X is a better choice.


Just make sure the motherboard you are using or plan to use can support the CPU you pick. If you already have a mobo and AMD CPU then be sure to update the BIOS before installing the 2700/3600 if you need to.
