3600x vs 3600

[Eastad]

I am bit confused.I don't see any significant difference in between these cpus in benchmarks.So why anyone will spent extra 50$ for the 3600x?I will play game and stream most of the time.So which one is better for me and why?

3600x have higher base and boost clocks, around 200MHz base, 3,8 vs 3,6

3600 kan easily be overclocket up to the same.

The 3600x comes with a fancy air cooler. I think it's a wraith spire.

Get the 3600 and spend the saved money on games

Certainly not a very useful feature. Ultra budget coolers (GammaXX200T Deepcool; SE-213V2 by ID Cooling) outperform the wraith spire for as little as 15USD. As they both work better and quieter than the Spire, I'd suggest to change the stock cooler.

 

If I were @Eastad I'd get a Ryzen3600 and some useable cooler (Deepcool Gammaxx400, Alpenföhn Brocken Eco Advanced or Ben Nevis advanced) and would OC the CPU manually.  One does not need a beefy (NH-D15 or BQ DRP4) to OC a Ryzen5.
