Question My 1st PC Build Help

[Moneytrain81]

Hello all. I've recently decided to embark on building my 1st PC. It's really only going to be used for games like Warzone and whatever the new Call of Duty is at the time. Plus some light Illustrator and Photoshop work.

I'm going AMD, that much I know. And am kind of stuck between the Ryzen 5 3400G (the 'G' so it can tide me over til I can get a GPU) and a Ryzen 7 2700X. The prices are quite close so it's all down to the knowledge of people smarter than me (you guys).

If it helps in any way the parts I've accumulated for the build so far are -

MSI B450M-A Pro Max
2x8GB Patriot Viper 4 3000mhz
Corsair MP510 480GB m.2
Corsair CV550 power supply
Cooler Master Q300L case

Thanks in advance!

You should get a Ryzen 5 3600. Similar price to the 2700x but better performance

The price on the 2700X I can get is a fair bit cheaper than the 3600, which is why I'm comparing it to the similarly priced 3400G.

Hmm... not a big cost difference tho ?

Enough for me to rule it out for now. If I keep on going 'well, 40 quid more gets me this.....' I'll end up going beyond what I can spend.
