[jman4242]

I'm looking for a cpu in the 200 dollar range for strictly gaming, do i get the ryzen 5 3600 or the i5 9400f. looking for most fps possible in competitive shooters. Would be paired with a rtx 2060 super.

You're welcome there is a before release video by Hardware Unboxed where he seems to say to wait for Ryzen 3600. (not sure exactly when it was made)

3600 seems the most obvious choice from any/all reviews I've read...(even if 9400F on sale for $120, etc)
