[SOLVED] Ryzen 3100 or Ryzen 2600 at this moment?

[Fcc]

im building my next pc, im upgrading from a fx 6300 ddr3 system, i already bought my b450 and 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz about a month ago , didnt buy the cpu yet because i was waiting for the new gen zen 3 comes out, and get a zen 2 like the 3600 which i thought the price will drop but now 5000 series will be available in november 5th i cant wait another month.

I dont know if getting the ryzen 3100 120$ or a 2600 149$, i was going to get the 2600 bcs of 6c/12t for streaming and gaming purposes, but now college won[/ICODE]t let me stream i think, so should i get the 3100 and save a few bucks, then early 2021 prob change it to a better one, what do you guys think...?

For the $29 difference, if you can squeeze it at all the 2600 would be a better choice.

The 2600 wins in some games a little and the 3100 win in other games a little. Not really that much in it. Plus this is with a high end graphics card. If you are going to use a graphics card under $500 it will make even less difference.

what purpose of your new PC?
Spec wise Ryzen 5 2600 is a good choice

But , if you're not in a hurry better wait for new Ryzen release

i ended up picking up a Ryzen 2600 for 115$ i think it was a pretty solid deal.

That's a bargain. With the extra cores, it'll be better for streaming and editing. The ryzen 3 3100 is more towards gaming only
