Is ryzen 7 2700x worth it in 2020?

[Squid1411]

Is it worth it to buy a ryzen 7 2700x in 2020. Or should i go with the ryzen 5 3600. I want to use the radeon rx 5600 xt or the nvidia rtx 2060. And will it be a bottleneck. Sry for bad eng.

Unless the 2700x is very cheap, like $130. I'd buy the 3600 for $170 instead. Or wait for the up coming 4000 series in a month.

[Squid1411]

well in my country the 2700x is 226$ but the 3600 is 272$ and do you know how much will the 4000 cost

Likely the 2700x and 3600 are selling below their MSRP now in your country. When the 4000 series launches, those CPUs will stay at MSRP for the first few months. So they will likely be more expensive that the 3600 and 2700X. But of course, it's just my speculation.

Yes it's still worth it. You can just overclock it to match the 3600 clock.

If you wanna buy 3600 better to wait for 4000, as the price will be drop.

4000 will cost about the same if not slightly higher than the chip it replaces.

So a 4600 will cost around the same price as when 3600 was launched.

At worst it would be priced around the same price as 10600k.

And just like the 2600 was slashed 20% (if not more) when 3600 released, this will happen again.

and is the graphics card good is it better to get the 5600xt or the rtx 2060

[Squid1411]

i wanna stream too whats the best gpu cpu combo be then

No. A 2700X is slower than a 3600 clock-for-clock, you'd need a very noticeable clock lead to actually match/beat the newer chip. Zen 2 has a very large IPC leap over Zen+. When locked to 3.5Ghz the 3600 beats out the 2700X:

 

Crushes it when going stock-for-stock in CB20 as well:

 

15% faster single core, only 10% lower multicore while having 2c/4t less to work with than the 2700X. 

Unless you mostly do workloads that use all 16 threads to 100%, the 2700X is going to be slower in every application than the 3600.

ok but whats better for streaming and what gpu should i use 

[Squid1411]

i guess the 3600 is better for streaming too then

If you're only streaming, get the 2060 and use the onboard NVENC encoder (it's lower quality than CPU encoding still, but not noticeable with the compression necessary for streams).

i mean this pc i want to be like an all in one i want to do some game development in unreal engine and cause im solo that prob goes with animations and shit 3d rendering and that stuff so whats better then. but in this mid range price range does intel have something worth looking in to

[Squid1411]

and i also wanna game too

 

[Squid1411]

you are prob like smh this kid want a rtx 3090 or smth for 300 bucks but i rly need help with this this will be my first pc build

[Zando_]

3600 is the better CPU, and even in multicore it's only 10% or so slower while having 30% less cores than the 2700X. Far superior gaming CPU, barely slower in 100% multithreaded tasks. 

[Squid1411]

so 3600 is better ok and for my usage what gpu cause u said the 2060 is good if im only streaming whats better for game development and 3d stuff

[Squid1411]

ok ty btw here is my final build and if u have any things i should change plz tell meee

 

ASUS AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT EVO

AMD Ryzen 5 3600

MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX

KINGSTON DIMM DDR4 8GB 3200MHz x2 so its 16gb

TOSHIBA 1TB 3.5'' SATA III

MS IRON

 

KINGSTON SSD M.2 120GB SA400M8/120G

and i need a power supply but idk what to get

Your budget should be wrapped around the Gpu FIRST.

 

So if getting a 2700x allows the budget for a 2060(s) or a standard 2070, you want to go that route especially on high resolution gaming.

 

10% FPS difference over 100fps is 10 lousy frames per second..... (just saying.... it's not "far superior" *sry Zando)

let me check if that would fit my budget

You can still use this so we can see what you are building. 

 

We can ignore the pricing. Might be able to critique your system to aid the budgeting.

I am surprised you can get the 2070 super (unless that was a typo and you meant 2060) but not a 5700 xt since where I am at (Canada) the latter is usually significantly more expensive. 

 

Coincidentally, I am also rocking an MSI 2070 Super Ventus (OC edition though) and it is a great card - both silent and powerful. I have it paired with the R5 2600x and am quite happy with the performance.

i rly think its a typo cause even the 2060 super is more expensive than that idk why

I have a standard 2060 paired with a 2700X 4K HTPC gamer rig. I'd love to have a 2070s !
