which one preforms better?

Single core performance: R5 3600X, Multi core performance: R7 2700X

Which ones worth it

Personally, I'd go for the 3600X because of its superior gaming performance. It should be fine for streaming as well.

Not sure what you mean by good. But a R5 3600X + RTX 2070 SUPER combo will work well.

If you are streaming and gaming + chrome tabs ect, you want lots of threads and memory capacity of 32GB.

 

If strictly only gaming, 3600 is the way to go. 

 

IPC difference between 2700x and 3600x may be 10% at best because the 2700x clocks pretty good.

I'll have 16 gb 3200 RAM paired with it, with this as my gpu https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Graphics-Card/GV-N207SWF3OC-8GD#kf

If you plan streaming, get the 2700x so you can budget in 32gb of memory, guessing the 2700x is a tad cheaper?

The CPU probably won't be a bottleneck for the GPU.

Good enough for 1080p high refresh rate gaming? Depends on the specific game and its settings, but generally speaking, yes.

If it's strictly for gaming buy the 3600X, if you want to stream and game, buy the 2700X.

Nope, even tech YouTubers advise the 3600X just for gaming. The 2700X or the 3700X for gaming, streaming, multitasking, editing etc. Going for the 2700X as of now for gaming and streaming is a lot better and later you can upgrade to the 3700X, 3900X, 3950X, depends on how much money you have.

16 GB ram is enough for streaming and stuff, im not gonna have things open while playing cause i usually dont do that naturally. but i feel like 16gb is enough no?

Actually no, you will need 32GB 4x8. Get Corsair 3200MHz CL16 RAM.

Ryzen 7 2700X is cheaper so i'll go for that. 

 

WOULD THE RYZEN 7 3700X be worth it?

 

 

and the 32gB just goes a bit over my budjet, i cant find a good 32gb ram sticks for the same price as 2x8 LPX corsair ram sticks

Obviously it's cheaper, like I said the 3600X is strictly for gaming, buy the 2700X.

 

It is but there's no other way. Which brands are present in your country? Get Kingston 3200Mhz CL16.

someone also told me - 

"No point in getting a 2700X nowadays for your use case. It's only about 10% better than the 3600 in heavily multi-threaded tasks, which do not include gaming.

Get the 3600 and use NVENC for streaming, as @Fasauceome also suggested." 

 

 

^ Would this work?
