[SOLVED] Which CPU to choose?

[Thanasis247]

Which CPU would you pick with an RTX 2060 6GB. Budget is 110, options are primarily Ryzen 5 1600 or i3 9100f but suggestions are welcome.

I would go with Ryzen 5 2600

Ryzen 5 2600 is 150 over here unfortunately

I would go with the Ryzen 5 1600. You get an extra 2 physical cores and 8 thread and you have a better upgrade path for the future. Gaming performance will be about the same, except in instances where the 4c/4t of the i3-9100 come into play, and that is becoming more and more common.

Definitely not the i3. Get the 1600 and a motherboard that will allow you to drop in a 3000 series cpu if you ever need to.
