The 3600 does indeed seem better. I play both indie games and AAA games.

Wow, thanks for the advices. A quick question: is the ASRock B450 Steel Legend ATX AM4 better than the Asus ROG STRIX B450-F ? Now I'm a little under budget, do you have any upgrades to suggest ?

Hey, I'm planning on build my first tower. 1. Budget & Location 1500€ = ~1 650$ in France but I can go up to 1750€ = ~2000$ if it is to have much better parts. . The budget is for the tower and a monitor. I already have an os. 2. Aim Mainly gaming and watching movies, maybe a bit of programming. 3. Monitors One for now, maybe two in the future. 4. Peripherals None needed besides monitor. 5. Why are you upgrading? I currently play on a gl552vw ASUS laptop but but it's a little outdated with more recent games and I want to keep it clean for work now.

(I will probably order it on Amazon)
