[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 3600 or 3700x?

[lordofthenecklaces]

Which one should ı prefer?Im not going to be overclocking the cpu so the extra performance doesnt matter to me

It depends on what you use your PC for.
I have a 3700x that I chose for light gaming, video encoding and streaming via Jellyfin.
If all I did was browse the web and play games I would have gotten a 3600.

So I'd recommend a 3600 for Gaming and lower threaded workloads or a 3700x for multi threaded workloads.

If you don't mind the added cost, having two extra cores to spare for background tasks rarely hurts and they MAY come in handy in future games.

For most casual gaming, the 3600 should be good enough for many years to come. Where competitive gaming is concerned, you may want to wait and see if AMD is going to release a reasonably priced 5600 along with a few other SKUs in early 2021 to spoil Intel's 11th-gen launch.

Well ı have a very limited budget since ı also have to buy a motherboard and a new pair of rams.I think ım going to go for ryzen 3600.From what ı have seen it offers more fps on newly released games
