Question Ryzen 5 5500 or 5600 to pair with GTX 1660 SUPER?

[Badr Mahmoud Badr]

Currently I'm using:
-Ryzen 3 1200
-B350 MORTAR
-GTX 1050ti
-8g ram
I'm looking to upgrading my cpu, gpu and I will be keeping my MB after updating the bios to latest version.
I will be getting a GTX 1660 SUPER as it fits my budget, so is the 5600 worth it over the 5500? as it costs 800$ more (local currency) and this extra cash can get me some extra 8g ram or I won't notice any difference between the two CPUs using the GTX 1660 SUPER anyway?

The only difference would be in gaming, the 5600 has twice the L3 cache as the 5500. Even that works out to about 5-6% difference. For the money it is not worth it imho. Get the 5500, buy the extra ram and enjoy.

The 5600 for sure. It's a better gaming chip.
