[SOLVED] Ryzen 3600 vs Ryzen 2700x

[M.AGamer]

Hello hope you are having a great day,So my friend has an i7 3770 and he wants to upgrade.Amd is the best choice right now but he wants a cpu that lives long like the i7 did his budget is 250$ we found ryzen 2700x for 220$ and ryzen 3600 for 170$. All he does is gaming( hardcore gaming he wants 144 fps + he already has a rtx 2060 super) but will 6 cores be enough for the next 5 years ?

Note: He wants to pay 250$ for the cpu only other things like ram and mobo he got enough money for

Next 5 years ? Ask Nostradamus or a Gypsy with Tarot.
For now and for that money. 3600 is best buy that may meet those requirements but there are other variables like motherboard and memory.

Let him ad another 100 to 150 bucks if he is going to keep that machine next 5 years. Just decent RAM is about 100 bucks and up.

The 3600 is the far better deal if a gamer....; it is faster in gaming always

$150 for mainboard AND RAM? there might be pushing it...

One wants at least 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) kit of at least 3200 MHz RAM...and a quality B450. Do NOT get an A320 board..

Ryzen3600 =170$ so he has more 80$(His budget for cpu only is 250$) so you can say he has 230$ total for mobo and ram can you guys suggest a good b450/550 and good ram

The 3600 is without question a better gaming cpu than the 2700x.

I sold my 2700x to replace with a 3600 at near-cost, it's a bit more capable in the single thread/gaming department, although you lose a bit in the multithread department.

For gaming there's a perceptible difference.

As for 5 years, that might be a crystal ball or stretch. If you roll B550 or similar he could drop in a Ryzen 4k series down the line, but your initial costs would be a bit higher. Worst case on B450 if they don't have a BIOS release for Ryzen 4k would be a 3900XT or similar as a drop in replacement once they are less expensive.
