Ryzen 5 choice - No overclocking

[francy333]

Greetings, I currently have a GTX970, powersupply tx850m corsair and will buy a motherboard
Asus STRIX B350-F GAMING with 2x8gb.

I wasn't sure on the processor to buy between Ryzen 5 1500x / 1600 / 1600x. I WILL NOT be overclocking. I know that the 1600x doesn't come with a cooler so that's a bad thing too. (or would you go with a Ryzen 5 2600x?)

Thanks!

I would go with the 2600x. The ryzen 2xxx are better than the ryzen 1xxx series. Although you wouldn't notice a significant change in performance.

When you don't want to overclock, always pick the X CPUs, especially for the Ryzen 2000 series. XFR2 makes them work almost optimally out of the box, meaning you wouldn't get much more out of them by overclocking anyway. So the 2600X. I would recommend the 1600X, but XFR doesn't work the same way for it.
