Hello everyone, needed a little bit of help. I am considering buying either a ryzen 5 3600 or an intel core i5 10500. Which cpu will be better?

I will use the pc for gaming and doing graphic related tasks (designing, video editing, motion graphics etc). I will also use an aftermarket cooler with the cpu. With 16 gb of ram. Can you please give me your suggestion? Also it will be super helpful if you could briefly tell me why the processor of your choice is better.

Thank you!

R5 3600. Beats the 10500 in multicore, is unlocked, and is compatible with much cheaper great boards like the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. Be sure to get 3200Mhz RAM. I would suggest to wait for the 5600 or 5600X though

Yeah I also think ryzen would be a better suit for me. Just wanted to know if spending some extra bucks for the i5 10500 would be worth it. I think your comment answers my question. Thanks a ton!
