Ryzen 5 1500x or Ryzen 5 1600

Should i go:
Ryzen 5 1500x
GTX 1050 TI
or
Ryzen 5 1600
GTX 1050 TI

Both configurations have: AB350M-GAMING 3, 8GB DDR4 2400MHz
I've seen that 1050 ti bottlenecks those CPUs, so I dont know should I go for lower cpu to have smaller bottleneck or stronger cpu but bigger bottleneck?

Ryzen 1600 always if in budget.
The reason?? Its 50% more cpu for generally 10-15% more money.

Those extra cores will pay dividends in the future even if they're unnecessary at the moment.

And what about bottleneck?

Bottleneck is irrelevant , the 1050ti will perform fine with any modern cpu.

You will essentially get the same performance with the 1500x as the 1600.

The thing is though when a 1500x is running 100% maxed out a 1600 will only be running at 60% with plenty of reserve power left.

Take the 1600 if you can afford the extra.
