Ryzen 5 3600 w/AIO vs Ryzen 7 3700x w/stock cooler

I’m looking at building a new PC this month and can’t decide whether I go with the Ryzen 5 3600 with an NZXT Kraken x62 or a Ryzen 7 3700x and use the wraith cooler included in the box. 

 

Ryzen 5 3600 + Kraken x62 = $450CAD

 

Ryzen 7 3700x = $435CAD

 

The case I plan on using is the NZXT H500/H510

I've seen many folks say that the amount of performance you gain from an AIO is minimal so I'd go with the 3700X.  

 

It's easier and cheaper to get it now and then an AIO later than it is to have to upgrade the CPU later.
