[SOLVED] what is better?

[agomrtp]

Hello ! I don t know what should i buy for gaming. Ryzen 5 3600x or ryzen 7 3700x. I want to know what of these 2 CPUs are better for gaming.

They'll both have very similar gaming performance with the 3700x possibly pulling slightly ahead. Due to a slightly higher boost clock. Either will do excellent and should provide plenty of longevity. Again with the 3700x being more "future proof" with the extra cores and threads.

They are both very good at gaming...if you're a streamer then the 3700x will work better...if not then the 3600x is plenty of cpu for gaming.

The 2 cpus are practically identical for gaming, making the 3700X not worth it for gaming alone.
The extra cost for the 3700X could go elsewhere: storage, cpu cooler, power supply, gpu, etc...

If you maybe stream and edit videos, then the 3700X is more worthwhile.

If budget is tight the 3600

Longer term 3700 if you can.
