Which CPU+GPU Configuration?

[Aidan.69420]

I’m building a pc on a decent budget, but I was wondering where I should spend $100 extra.  
 

I was wondering if I should use an AMD RYZEN 5 2600 and a RTX 2060 super, or use a RYZEN 3600 with an RTX 2060.  Which one would give me the best performance etc?  (I play mainly Rainbow Six Siege, Modern Warfare 2019, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Minecraft with shaders mods and texture packs)

I'd personally go with the 2060 Super and 2600, my intuition says you'll probably see more improvement in games with a better GPU than a better CPU.

What about a 5700 XT and 3600?

The 5700 XT is the same price as a 2060 Super, so it’d be above budget

Not knowing your budget fully doesnt help much. What do you have to spend? You can get an XFX THICC card for 360.

Ryzen 3600 + RX 5700 would be the best option performance wise if the XT cited above is too expensive.

A 3600 is $100 more than a 2600.  A 2060 Super is $100 more than a 2060.  My budget has already been extended a bit, so I’m trying to save $100 where I can.

Ah. You're in Canada. Should have led with that.

 

Then get a 3600 and a 5700. That will do much better. Only reason to get an Nvidia card in this market is if you want raytracing (you don't)

Lol yes sorry.  Thank you!  One question though, how come I wouldn’t want ray tracing?

It just sucks performance and doesn't really do shit lol

Because current RTX cards are too weak to do it in any proper way.

I wouldn't go that far.

 

Just don't expect 144 FPS ray tracing any time soon. RTX 2060/Super can do 1080p 60 FPS in a number of titles using raytracing.

Agree - the Crytek Neon Noir Ray Tracing benchmark shows the possibility of ray tracing...without paying a buyers fee.  I think its goin to be a software solution in the future not a hardware.  RTX lineup is to help for pay for the millions in RnD they need to recoup imho.
