R5 3600 or R7 2700X

[Frag1]

Hi, help me decide which of these two shoud i buy. Its purely for gaming, no streaming no nothing.

 

1) brand-new R5 3600 with 3 year warranty = 190€

2) used R7 2700X still with 18 month warranty = 150€

 

Thanks

3600

Im not that worried about the 2700x being used or the shorter warranty, i dont expect any of them to go bad, procesors rarelly do.

 

So is the 3600 performance worth 40€ / 25% extra cost ?

They're pretty tied so if it's cheaper, go for the 2700X

actually looking at the benchmarks it doesnt look like theres much of a difference

3600 is much better for games

3600, it's just straight up better for gaming.

You calculate percentage by taking the whole system budget as denominator, not 2700x price

For gaming, 3600. The 2700 only if you plan to do some form of productivity workloads but even then the 3600 does it almost as well if not better because of the improved IPC.
