Question Ryzen 2700 or 3600

[scallumal]

Hi everyone
My pc broke and went in for warranty
The motherboard broke and so did te gpu and cpu
1700
Gtx 1070
B350 pro

They replaced the gpu with rx5700
And the motherboard with a b450 asus prime a since i live in south africa older parts aren't available so im guessing it will be replaced with a 2700 or that price point which the 3600 is in which is the better choice i do alot of gaming but im going to study vfx/ video editing which would be the best option ?

Thank you for help

The 3600 would be better for gaming but the additional cores/threads on the 2700 would be better for video editing but you really can't go wrong with either. If you do go for the 3600 just make sure the motherboard BIOS is up to date or it won't work.

Both of those are very fast but the 3600 is faster.

The people fixing the pc will take care of it

I read that, that specific mobo supports pcie gen 4 would it be beneficial for video editing? (Idk if it lost support for it)

There was some attempts to get PCIE 4.0 to work on second gen boards but there was issues with it so support has ceased from what I've read. The only way to get PCIE 4.0 is to buy a X570 board but there quite expensive.

Older Beta BIOS may allow you to use PCIE 4.0 but it may not be stable with the 3600.

Okay i see but would it give any benefit to having pcie 4.0 for rendering? Gpu side

If you were using multiple GPU's then maybe but a single one no.
