Buying Help (CPU/MOBO)

[Jordan_C21]

Microcenter has a ryzen 5 2600 for $119, and $30 off if you get a mobo with it, and I can possibly get an open ASRock B450 PRO. With a grand total, $207 including tax, basically is it worth it to buy this now or chop up the extra money and get a 3600? Also currently I have an rx 480 BUT , in a few months I PLAN on buying either a rx 5700, rtx 2060, 2060 super, rx 5700xt one of those havent decided but that upgrade wont be until Sep-Oct

It really depends on your budget. 

If you plan on running higherrefresh rates, get the 3600.

If you want to put something together for the long term, I might even consider saving up a bit more and getting the 3700x. Over the next few years, game will start being optimized for 8 cores due to the consoles getting 8 cores.

 

If you want to build something on the cheap now, you could build with that $200 combo, upgrade the cpu later.

 

Would be easier to make a recommendation if I knew your budget, your current set up and you goals.
