Help me decide between 2600 and 3600

[Flaneln]

So for a while now i was saving money for ryzen 5 2600 and now that the 3600 is out i dont know what to do . My budget is right now little below 300 euros .

I want to upgrade my ram aswell to 16gb 3200 mhz . 

I can buy 5 2600 with b450 board and buy the ram aswell but if i go with r5 3600 i cant get ram and i have no idea how i could get the bios update on b450.

I want to get the r5 3600 because a lot of people have been hyping how good it is and it is for future proofing so i dont have to worry about my processor being shitty.

I dont know which is the logical choice here?Will the r5 2600 fall of soon or no?I want to have that processor for atleast like 3-4 years . Im also planning to buy rx580 or maybe something even better like a gtx1080. 

What are your suggestions?

The ryzen 5 2600 is still a really good chip for whatever you need to do. Since your budget does not allow the upgrade just don't do it it will not make THAT much of a difference

It doesn't sound like the hassle is really worth it for the 3600 in your case. The 2600 will still perform pretty darn great for you. If you're strapped on your budget, I wouldn't sweat it too much. You gotta value your own time you'd have to invest into figuring out how to update the boards bios for the 3600 too. Worst comes to worst, you buy the 2600 now, and then upgrade when there's a damn good deal later down the road.

Then you'll need the 3600, the 2600 weakest point is 1080p144hz, for that you still need 8700K's for that many frames on anything not e-sport.

watch youtube video tutorials on how to update the bios on your specific motherboard, AMD warranty service will provide you a bootkit if you contact them.

What exactly you mean by that 2600 weakest point is the 144hz? That it stutters or just that it dosent hit that high fps in non esports games?
