Hi there, I'm building a ~€1000 PC and have chosen these components so far:
- 550w corsair PSU 80 broze
- 16GB 3200mhz ram
- 500GB WD blue SSD
- rx5700xt
- MSI B450 Tomahawk
- case and HDD I already have
I am torn apart between a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 2700x. They cost the exact same in my country (Amazon, €190) and saw that the 2700X has a, even if slight, advantage in some computing tasks. I am gonna use this system for gaming but mostly productivity (3D cad work and coding). Can see the benefits of a newer generation but the 8 core leave me a bit indecise on longevity. Being able to get 3+ years out of a processor would be great, just don't know which one would serve me better. I'm gonna use Linux if it's of any help.
What do you think?
TL;DR
3600 or 2700X on a €1000 build for Linux - productivity/light gaming?
