I don't know if that matters unless they are moving large amounts of data all the time. 4 hours ago, GlitzyRuby said: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor I'd spend $80 and get the 3600 instead, though you'd need to make sure you could update the BIOS either with a spare CPU or a motherboard that lets you do it without a CPU in it. I'd make sure the 5600XT you picked was built well enough to handle the upgraded firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why to waste money on a tech that you aren't even going to use right now. Also, you might counter argue by saying that it's for future proofing. There is nothing future proof anyways. Also, who knows that 3600mhz would be relevant in future. As 5000mhz modules are popping up right now.
