Hello i am from Argentina and i plan to get a PC gamer. I will be playing games such as CS:GO, GTA V, Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider and some racing games, mainly at 1080p. But i have doubts about the CPU, because i first wanted the Ryzen 5 2600 but when i saw some benchmarks against the 1600, i realized that the performance is very similar but in the website where i want to buy the CPU and other stuff the price diference is about 2k. So which one should i go for? I would pair it with Zotac RTX 2060 (no AMP), and the mobo would be the B450 Aorus PRO WIFI.
 
Solution
Either 1600 or 2600 would work well for gaming at 1080P and if you get a good aftermarket cooler you can easily get that 1600 close to 2600 performance.
