ryzen 5 3600 or ryzen 7 2700x?

[EndercyPlayz]

should i get a ryzen 5 3600 or a ryzen 7 2700x? (and also i'm on a really tight budget so if i get the ryzen 7 2700x i need to get a rtx 2060 instead of the super version, and also trash my cooler) 

 

and is the wraith prism good enough for some overclocking? if no, will the coolermaster a71c work well or maybe give suggestions on coolers under $40 for the cpu?

Unless you exclusively do tasks that are very heavily multithreaded to leverage all 16 threads of the 2700X, the 3600 will be the better choice, and if the 2700X is more expensive, even more so.

The stock cooler is meant for stock speeds. I've never looked into the cooler you mentioned, but a pretty well regarded option around $40 is the Arctic Freezer 34 Duo.

 

If you need help putting together a parts list, you can always create a thread in the "New Builds and Planning" subforum and you'll most likely get some good and helpful insight.

For gaming they don't really take bites of each other I would go with the 3600 tho

use the stock cooler, get the cheaper cpu, spend the rest on the gpu.

The Wraith Prism is a decent cooler. Perfectly adequate cooler, but it is a little noisy. However, the 3600 actually comes with the Wraith Stealth cooler, which is just awful. I'd highly encourage buying an aftermarket cooler rather than using the Wraith Stealth. You'd be fine with the Prism, though.

both are close in most taks unless the task is mainly multi threaded, the 3600 is a better choice. the stock cooler that comes with the 3600 is decent. and ryzen doesn't have that big of an overclocking headroom anyways, so i wouldn't bother with that.

i usually do some coding, compiling code (mostly java, kotlin, javascript and c++), i would also host a mc server on this pc, and also i would stream some time, and i would also edit 1080p vids.

yea doesn't sound to intensive. the 3600 will handle it just fine.

ok thanks

and also, i actually want to host a bungeecord server with just 2 servers on my pc, because i want to test out my pc creations and i dont want to pay for hosting. will the ryzen 5 3600 handle it with a discord call running, minecraft running and streaming?

FYI Wraith Prism is good for 140w.
