Which ryzen

[MrIceCremeLollipop]

For gaming, Which option should I go for (Like, Is the extra money worth it) 

Currently paired with a 780, however there will be an upgrade soon.

 

 

Ryzen 7 1700x - £156 (Doesnt have cooler)

Ryzen 5 2600 - £145

Ryzen 5 1600 x - £120. (Doesnt have cooler)

 

For gaming.

2600 is really nice, as it comes with a cooler

 

1600x is a option if you already have one or want to get one

 

1700x is if you do something else, for just gaming i would take a r5 over it

is 1700 non-x available?

comes with great rgb spire cooler, easily clock to 3.7~3.8ghz

 

all doesnt really matter in gaming, get 1700 when you really "need" the 2 extra cores, 2c4t .

The R5 2600 is a no brainer. Get that one. The cooler is sufficient for a mild overclock even which closes the gap with the 2600X. The 1700X is nice if you have a workload that can benefit from the extra cores, but just for gaming, it's not the best choice.

i would go for a r5 2600 and then use a better cooler on that.
the stock cooler might be sufficient, but it's not really good.

as far as i know, it only comes with the stealth cooler, which doesn't even have a copper core.

but you can get a decent cooler for about 40€ so i guess it shouldn't be so different in pounds

precisely its a copper chamber on wraith spire/rgb non-stealth (or just heatpipe for easier understanding)
