[SOLVED] Which should i buy

[Corban123]

I am deliberating whether or not i should purchase the Amd Ryzen 7 2700 or the Amd Ryzen 5 3600

Both are around 200 USD and i was wonder if the 2700 is better since it has 8 cores rather than 6

What is your main application my friend?
Gaming? Editing etc?

Unless you need the two extra cores for video/3D rendering, 3600 offers better single- and quad-core performance. Meaning that 3600 is better at web browsing and gaming,

I would be using it for gaming

Gaming

In which case get the 3600. It's outperformed the 2700 in many benchmarks:

It's no doubt the better valued CPU at this point. As Aeacus has already stated too.
