What CPU should I get??

[Haven_Alpha]

Are the ryzen 3 3100 and 3300x gonna be faster than the ryzen 5 2600???

No, your comparing a four core, and a six core cpu.

1. The 3100/3300x is going to give you i7-7700k-like performance for $99/$120. That's already faster than the Ryzen 5 2600 at gaming.

2. The 3300x has only one CCX, which fixes the core-core latency of all current Ryzen CPUs. Get that for gaming.

 

The 3rd generation chips have a large uplift in performance over their 2nd generation counterparts.

Judging by the leaked Geekebench 5 benchmark, the 3100X would beat it in single core performance, presumably the 3300X too.

In multi-core performance, the 2600 just has a more cores, so that's a no there.

 

But keep in mind! This is information/speculation based on rumors
