Which CPU to buy?

[ado266]

Hi,i want to build new gaming PC this summer and i made the decision to go AMD,i have 200 euro budget for ryzen but i dont know which to pick.Ryzen 5 2600,2600x or ryzen 7 1700 or 1700x.
i want to game aswell as stream and i have cooler master hyper 212 led in my old PC so cooling is not a problem.


Thanks in advance

first the evo 212 have the am4 back plate and on witch board you want to use it you will also need ddr4 ram .

i want to use asus rog strix b450-f and i already have ddr4 ram picked for my setup

see this the 2700 x is fastest one https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php

i know but as i ve said my budget is 200,in my country 2600 costs 150 euro,2600x 200,1700 180 and 1700x 200.

 

[scout_03]

then go with 1700 x you wil have a decent set up .

If your a few months away from getting this system then ask about a week or two prior to buying as 3rd gen Ryzen may be out by the time your ready and the 3rd gen looks much better then the second gen currently. The 3300 (6C/12T) is going for like $100 USD which is cheap.

Or the 3600 which is a 8C/16T CPU that boost to 4.4ghz for under $200 (USD).

It does! I'm thinking of saving up for that 3700X and selling my buddy my 2600 for like $60 so he can finally update his old X4 965 :lol:

Considering your budget I will suggest you to go with Ryzen 7 1700x, as you will more core than ryzen 5 which will leads to better performance if you want do streaming and gaming at a time.
