Best cpu for gtx 1660 super 6gb oc (no botlle neck?)

[Patryk from poland]

So i got the gtx 1660 super 6gb oc and the amd a8 but that's a botlle neck so I need a new cpu, I have the ASUS PRIME A320M-K motherboard and 8gb of ram. I'm waiting for a reply thanks!

3300X.

Do note that that board will require a BIOS update though before it can run with a Zen 2 CPU.

My friend told me that ryzen 5 3600 will be the best option

With an A320?! No

Certainly not this one as well 

And in gaming the 3300x is identical

[Patryk from poland]

Okay thanks!

I mean yes the 3600 is better, especially long-term, but I wouldn't put one in an A320 board personally.

What is the difference in FPS between the 3300x and 3100 is it that big with a 1660 super. All the benchmark are made with like 2080ti it maybe a bigger difference but with a 1660 super? Because the 3300x is not in stock in canada and it is like 50$ CAD more then the 3100 on Newegg is it still worth it to buy the 3300x?

Honestly this term gets used way too often nowadays lol

Neither a 3300X or a 3600 will bottleneck a 1660 Super. They can both handle even higher-end GPUs no problem, so either will work fine for your graphics card.

But the 3600 wil not work right for the mother board right?

it will work but it will thermal throttle meaning that the 3300x will run faster

Hey one more question does the 3300x come with a pre applied thermal paste and do I do the bios upgrade before the installation or after

Considering it's an A320 board, it'll most likely require a BIOS update.

And yes, the stock cooler comes with thermal paste preapplied.

Right now 

The pc won't boat with the new cpu unless the bios is updated

3100/3600, whichever fits your budget.

I thought 3600 wasn't compatible with my motherboard
