im currently using a ryzen 5 2600 cpu and a b450 tomahawk board, and a msi gaming z rtx 2070 video card, is it worth it to upgrade to the ryzen 5 3600?? or should i wait for zen 3 to come out?? im confused, dont know if i should upgrade or not??
not really, lol, i already bought the 3600 but i have not installed it yet cause i had second thoughts. probably going to return it.I would wait for ryzen 4000 series... Now if you have a lot of money lying around you can do whatever you want

Monitor res and refresh?
how much did you like the 2600??I upgraded from an Ryzen 5 2600 (OC'd to 4 GHz) to a 3700x (with PBO Enabled) and for me the upgrade has been well worth it.
But I stream to two 1080p TV's via Plex with this PC while gaming and I also encode video pretty regularly.
The 2600 did that just fine But the 3700x does it even better.
To be honest I really didn't Need to upgrade but I had the extra cash and really wanted to try out a 3000 series CPU, so I did.
Otherwise I would have spent that cash on something non-frivolous like property taxes. LOL
If the 2600 is doing everything you need it to, then keeping it for another few years is a good choice.

no restocking fee. and i have not even opened the box yet either.If you already bought it you might as well just keep it and try it out. You could be charged a restocking fee if you return it.

ok thanks everyone, im going to return it, and keep the 2600 for now.Go for a refund and wait for ryzen 4000 series... Atleast that's what I would do.
