i doubt that will ever happen

 

2600 is a good value right now ~$120

but the 2600X is a few pesos more with a good cooler on it ~$150

 

as for gaming, depends on what games you want to play and at what settings, but 2600 and X are good.

 

 

inb4!

Ryzen 5 1600 and 2600 are pretty cheap for ~100-130 bucks and great performance. Ryzen 5 3600 is one of the best cpus to play just under 200bucks cpu.

Ryzen 7 has 8 cores and 16 threds. ryzen 1700 adn 2700 are great under 200bucks cpus to do workloads, and gaming. The ryzen 7 3700x is -5% off the performance off the i9 9900k and is over 100bucks cheaper.

Ryzen 9 is for workload, but it games pretty well. Ryzen 9 3900x and 12 cores and 24 threads, and its almost identical to i9 9900k in gaming with the same price! Also it has more cores so its better at workloads. The ryzen 9 3950x has 16 cores 32 threads. Its identical to i9 9900k in gaming, for 200+bucks more. It has great workload performance

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

5 7 9 is names for different relative core count, you are looking for Ryzen 3000, if you want it optimized minimum is 3600C16 ram paired with it, this is more important then clockspeed on these CPUs, in super ideal situation is Samsung B-die 4200 or 4400 downclocked to 3800, tightened timings, and FLCK overclocked to 1900, but much cheaper 3600C16 will get 95% the way there without fiddling with OCing ram
R5's is 6 cores, 1ccd 
R7's is 8 cores, 1ccd 
R9's is 12 or 16, both these feature duel CCD's, so 2x 6 cores, or 2x 8 cores, ram speed and ideally FCLK overclock is even more important on these

Arguably the best all gaming chip would be the 3800x 8 core or 3950x 16 core, both have repeatedly hit 4.4ghz all-core overclock at reasonable voltages (about 1.325v), but honestly 3700x, or 3900x are both fine for their own purposes, those usually hit 4.25-4.35 at reasonable voltage.  3700x standard use like streaming and gaming, 3900x heavier production-work but also gaming, then on budget end 3600, still great usually about 4.150-4.250ghz all core with reasonable, 3600x is like 3700x or 3900x clockspeed but arguably overpriced for the mild bump it gives. 

TLDR, "The Best" is R7 3800x and R9 3950x, with 3800x and 3950x, but realistically other options make more sense given its only a 50-100mhz (1-2%?) bump usually, excluding 3600 which is about 200mhz(4-5%) slower clockspeed on average.

5 7 9 is core count
5 is 6 core
7 is 8
9 is 12 or 16
