r3 1200 vs r3 1300x

Is the ryzen 3 1300x worth the extra 13 euros ( i will obviously be overclocking)

Thanks.

Depends on your budget, if you could use those 13 euros for something like a better motherboard then I'd go for the 1200, both can be overclocked to around the same speed (give or take 100-200 mhz, silicon lottery). Just make sure it's paired with a decent B350 motherboard for overclocking.

I could use that 13 euros for a better mobo but is the 1300x worth the 13 euro?

Both can be overclocked.
The one with x should be better OC-able.
€13 is worth it in my opinion but I would recommend better going directly to Ryzen 5 1600, if possible.

thats only what u can decide , this dutch website has got nice benchmarks u can checkout : https://nl.hardware.info/reviews/7477/10/amd-ryzen-3-1200-en-1300x-review-nieuwe-budget-cpus-gaming-benchmarks-gtx-1080-ti-battlefield-1-dx12

in the tabs below u can select different games.

Like wildcard sais, its better to use it on a better motherboard or a 250gb ssd instead of just a hdd.

I am thinking of buying a 1300x just to be able to game and when ryzen 2comes out i will go all out on that one.

Worth is something that only you can determine, personally I'd get the 1200 & a good quality B350 motherboard and that should get me to at least 1300X performance with the stock Wraith cooler. Remember that the Ryzen lineup max overclock is about 4.0 ghz so if you do go for aftermarket cooling don't spend a lot as it's not needed and also to pair it with 2666+mhz RAM as it performs better with it.

alright,i will go ahead and get a 1200 overclock it to around 3,8ghz with stock and as soon as ryzen second gen comes out ill buy something like a ryzen 2600

Thanks
