Should I go with a Ryzen 5 Config?

Or Ryzen 7?

Be aware as I can only stretch it to 335€ and I strictly plan only on gaming. My current rig is an FX 8350 along with 16GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 3GB. Keep in mind that I also plan on upgrading sometime in the future to probably like an RTX 2060, so I don't know how much the Ryzen 5 would be a bottleneck, on 1080p at least. I also don't plan on overclocking these chips as stock is pretty much all I need. The only reason why I even considered a Ryzen 7 is mainly due to Battlefield 1 and 5 and for future upcoming titles in the Battlefield series as they require beast CPUs to maintain stable framerates. Thanks in advance.

I would go 2600 and a B450 Tomahawk if you're concerned with gaming - 2700 won't give you much more than what a 2700 will unless you're doing productivity workloads. Save the money and in the future you can either upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 (when prices drop over time) or a Ryzen 4000 if you want. I personally would not both buying an X370 board as you'll get much less bios support moving forward compared to B450/X470.

 

Also, a 6-core CPU, especially with SMT like the 2600 will run Battlefield 1/5/whatever-number-they-decide-next fine.
