I'm building a new gaming/video editing computer. I want to do hardcore gaming at 1080p, and eventually at 4k. Games like Call of Duty Black Ops 4, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and Battlefield 5. I live in the U.S. and prefer to buy on newegg.
I've been doing a lot of reading on the different processors. I'm wondering if I should go with a 2nd Gen AMD like the Ryzen 7 2700X. I notice it has more cores and threads, and almost the same base/boost as the 3rd Gen Ryzen 5 3600, and the Ryzen 5 3600X. However, it doesn't support as high of memory or have as much cache, and it doesn't have PCIe 4.0 capability. I can pick up the Ryzen 7 2700X for $160.00 at my local micro center. It also uses a cheaper motherboard than the Ryzen 5 3600/3600X.
If my budget is under $250.00 for a CPU which would be best for my build? The Ryzen 7 2700X, Ryzen 5 3600, or the Ryzen 5 3600X. I'm looking at the Tom's Hardware CPU Hierarchy 2020 and the the Ryzen 7 2700X is rated pretty good. But, will it be good for 1080p/4k gaming with the right GPU?
