[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 7 1800x

[kitsunic]

Still deciding on my CPU

I'll be using the Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (16GB, 3200MHZ), Asus Dual Series GTX 1070 with a 860 QVO SSD or Seagate Barracuda Compute SSD (Depending on which CPU I choose.)

My needs will be doing video editing in 1080p 60fps and gaming (1080p 144fps+).

Keep in mind that I'm in AU so the Ryzen 5 2600 is $250 and the 1800x is $370.70.

Please help me

i doubt your editing software uses more than the 12 threads available with the 2600. the 2600 also has slightly faster core performance vs the 1800x. so if price is a concern, i'd go with the 2600.

do check your software though and if it actually would benefit from the extra threads of the 1800x, then it's obviously the better choice.

As Math Geek said, check if your video editor uses lots of threads.

I know in my case, I use Davinci Resolve and it will use every ounce of my 1700X's 16 threads.
