I'm trying to figure out what cpu to run in my new gaming rig. I beat the gpu lottery and snagged an rtx 3070, but now I dont want to bottleneck it too hard. I've been trying to get an amd 3600, but cant find stock that isn't overpriced anywhere. I'm debating on going with a newest gen mobo and getting a 2600, so I can upgrade later. Prices should be similar. Thoughts?
