Ryzen 5 3600 vs i5 9400f

Hello. So I'm finalizing my build so that I can buy parts after lockdown but I'm not really a computer nerd nor do I know something about CPU specs and stuff. Which CPU is better?

 

What am I going to do with the build anyway? Mostly gaming. Sometimes I use CAD for my work.

ryzen 5 3600 way better.

it has 6 more threads and it is overclockable.

the intel one has 6 less threads and it is not overclockable.  the ryzen 5 3600 is little better than i5 9600k in gaming and much better in workloads etc

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.

Does that mean I can make the most out of the 3600? I can throw CAD and gaming on it without facing an issue?

I'm planning to go for the RTX 2060 for the GPU. Will there be any bottleneck issues? It will just be a 1080p gaming if you're curious.

rx 5600 XT is on the same level but it is cheaper.  If you really need rtx or nvidia for your work, evga rtx 2060 KO is the best rtx 2060. It uses parts from rtx 2080, but it is rtx 2060.

 

the evga KO is better than any other rttx 2060 out there.

Unless you're going for very high refresh rate, it's completely fine.

Someone told me to get the RTX 2060 for the build, hence mu choice of GPU though I am open for suggestions. But seriously, what does the “RTX” do in most cases? Because you mentioned “If you really need rtx”

in games it cuts your fps in half, but it makes the game look really nice.

rx 5700 is the best for you rn: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/tt7p99/xfx-radeon-rx-5700-8-gb-dd-ultra-video-card-rx-57xl8lbd6

Is that really what RTX does in games? No other pros just cons?


I'm from Philippines. $1000 is like Php 50,000 maybe more or less. I can save up for a better CPU/GPU but I have other things to buy as well so I want to settle on those CPU/GPU for my build. I should mention that prices here are WAY more expensive than you might think.

Problem is I won't be able to verify the prices because of the lockdown. Online shopping apps here have inaccurate prices so I can't depend on those either. One of the most important thing I look forward to this build is how quickly will I be able to get my hands on it. You see, jobs are suspended and the whole nation is lockdown due to COVID. So

 

No job = No salary = No PC

 

An end game PC, which technically everyone can own, would probably be affordable for me in about a year or two of savings. But yeah I can't wait that long for a pc.

By the way I took a screenshot of the build. I think this will be my basis for now as I work on that PC. Thank you so much for this!

you welcome.

 

that case comes with 1x fan at rear and 1x fan at the top. mount those 2x arctic fans at the front for intake. remount the top fan to outttake,

that adata ssd is pretty good and well priced.

This one is probably off the build but I want to ask this to you anyway..

I've read some pc build guides and how they used 1650/1660/1660 super on most of them. Is that card any good? Is that a budget card?

1660 super is okay, but the rx 5700 is at rtx 2060 super level of performance. rx 5700 is better buy rn.
