Help me pick a Ryzen cpu.

[RGProductions]

Simple question here. Would y’all rather have a Ryzen 5 3600 for Current price, a Ryzen 7 1700 for $125, a 1600 for $83, or a 2700 for 160. They would all be used with the stock coolers they came with, I mostly game, and I’m looking for overall the best value. This is for the rig In my signature, and this motherboard could definitely handle all of them, however Ryzen 3000 compatibility is eh.

Get this Sandy Bridge and don't look back.  Best bang for your buck.. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and its hella fast, just because its team red doesn't mean it's boolshit ya know.  Get this Sandy Bridge will do justice easily without breaking a sweat.

Hey mate!

 

Yes it does handle all the cpus... But you need to update your bios 1st, like asap if you feel like it! :P

 

About the subject... if I was you, 3600 would be my choise, just check some benchmarks... no can do... for the price it's amazing! ;)

Yeah, I’ve got it all working on my 1300x, the update bios has less features for more compatibility and stuff, so I’m on the latest one that isn’t 3000 compatible. I don’t know if I can really justify the extra $75 over the 1700

Call it an investement... I had a 2500k since he came out... and only changed now... sometimes you spend a few more money but the stuff last longer. I changed mostly because the wasn't keeping up, always at 100% and that was pushing me back in a lot of ways... discord breaking, fps breaks... etc.

[MMKing]

Not sure if the 2500k suggestion is serious or not.

 

I would go with the 3600.

It's turtle rig, posting stupid shit like this is pretty much standard operating procedure for him 

[TrigrH]

3600 without question, just wait for the next bios revision to come out for stability reasons.

I went from a 1800x to the 3600 and it was a huge improvement gaming 

[Gohardgrandpa]

Seriously man, the improvement in single threaded performance is big with the 3rd gen ryzen. You get single threaded increase plus a clock speed increase. 

I game on a 144hz monitor and it’s a big jump from 1st to 3rd gen

Get the 3600, you’ll be happy with it. I don’t regret buying it at all. 

[MadmanRB]

For what its worth the 2600 is a incredible value and in some tests and benchmarks it doesnt fall that far behind the 3600

If you are coming from first generation ryzen though go third gen as the performance and IPC gains that the zen2 platform has are insane, just make sure you have your BIOS updated first.

Since you have the 1300X yeah the 3600 will blow that thing out of the water

Well keep in mind the 1700 and the 1700X are actually quite good sleeper gaming processors, as a former owner of one i have seen it actually improve in performance as games become more multicore/thread optimized.

Its only on single thread titles where the 1700/1700X really suffer, though even there its not too bad and under rated as a gaming processor.

As time moves on there is a good chance that the 1700 will look like a great gaming processor for more modern titles, especially if you can get one second hand, that things gonna shine once consoles become loaded with Zen2 and games will run on 8 cores and 16 threads.
