Budget CPU for 4k

[NoodleFish]

Hello everyone.

So recently I began building a new itx sff PC to run 4k 60hz. I currently currently used up most of my budget on an rtx 2070 mini by gigabyte. I have an aorus b450i in hand, and am in need of help to choose the right CPU. I was think about getting the ryzen 5 2400g or the 2600. 

I won't be running any CPU intensive applications or anything like AC origins, just light gaming with a little bit of rainbow six.

 

What do you guys think?

can you squeeze out slightly more on your budget and get a ryzen 3600? it is that much better than the previous 2600

Remember this is a 4k build and not a 1080p. I'm pretty sure the 3600 is overkill for this kind of thing, since 4k is mostly GPU limited and not CPU.

theres not that much difference between the ryzen 3600 and 2600, its not worth the extra cash

i would recommend u to get the ryzen 5 2600 because it outperforms the 2400g as u already have a 2070.
