Ryzen 5 1500x, Ryzen 5 1600 , or other for Rx570 8gb OC ?

[05bryanm]

So I'm building my first PC and I'm stuck on which CPU to choose. There is only a 4 dollar price difference between the ryzen 5 1500x and ryzen 5 1600 but I'm worried the rx 570 will bottleneck the 1600. Please let me know which CPU is better or if there is another CPU that would better fit the rx570

LOL, the 1600 can handle an RTX 2080ti with no problem... your RX570 won't be a problem, but why buy 1600 when you can buy 2600??
There is only 10$ difference in Amazon https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1544905933&sr=1-2&keywords=ryzen&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=xm3a-20&linkId=500309e5031c8e0cb7077f9ba17ff52c&language=en_US

Yeah if I was building a system today then I would go with the 2600. I currently have the 1600, but I bought mine when they first launched and my 1600 handles my 1070 just fine. If you can fit the 2600 into your budget then I would.

 

[hi-there]

no matter which one you choose will work more than fine with RX 570

out of those two:
- 1600 @ 3.5

or (like Gadhar pointed out) if you can find 2600 for a good price (no more than 25$) than go for 2600 - other than that save the difference for your next build ;-) (first build: if you don't know how, than watch a couple of different 'step-by-step' on Youtube vveeeeeeerryyy carefully at least twice before you get started - there are a few things which you can aesy overlook so take your time before you start screwing and putting things where they belong and not only where they fit ;-) )
