[SOLVED] R5 1600 or R5 2600, pricewise (local prices)

[Nikola_36]

Dear all,
I would apreciate if you could help me with my dilemma. I have rx 480 4gb (which I dont intend to upgrade), so I wonder which combination of CPU + MOBO would be the best with pricing taken into account. These are the local prices of these components (Montenegro).

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (123 euros) + Gigabyte B450M H (68e) / Asus PRIME A320M-K (51 euros)
or
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (146 euros) + Gigabyte B450M H (68e) / Asus PRIME A320M-K (51 euros)

I just want 60fps for modern games, thats fine by me. I wonder if older version of Ryzen has some problems etc..
Thank you all in advance!

These 3 frames in average are not worth it I believe, maybe I should get a BH 450 mobo and overclock it.. so R5 1600 is not worse in quality?
My gpu might not be able to reach over 60fps in modern games anyway, so it might be a better combo with R5 1600

The 1600af is the winner
Better mobo is good for upgrades.

Thank you, however this is not the AF version. It is regular 1600, do you belive it is still a better choice with a cheaper motherboard since I dont care about upgrades?

If no upgrades are planned, get the one that is cheap but suitable. Ask the shop to have the latest BIOS on it just in case.
