PICKING CPU - HELP

[andrewson9]

Hi, i need help with choosing new CPU in decent budget (e.g. Ryzen 5 2600), primary for playing games like League of Legends, MC, Rocket League etc. (not high end games at all) 

 

GPU will be probably gtx 1660 super and some 16gb 3200mhz rams. 

 

Thanks for all tips.

3300x and 2600 are good choices. 2/3600 are more powerful, 3300x is more budge oriented

Budge oriented?

[gloop]

3300x is better for games, 2600 for multi-threaded workloads.

Budget for the cpu? 

The 3300x is better in almost every workload unless it's purely multi threaded and in this case, a 3300x costs about the same is a better pick. 

Also please just make one thread in new builds and planning.

AMD just dropped their RX 5300 which might match up or possible surpass the super. I would wait and see how it looks and it could shake up GPU prices in a good way.

Okay, if i took 3300x, will be There some bottleneck? In case od 2600 there wasnt any.

Alright thank you for tip

I'm aware of that. 

But as I said..

The RX 5300 is targeted to hopefully compete with the GTX 1650. That's a long way off the 1660 Super.

Why are you aware of that? 

[marmour]

Given that the RX5500 is slower than the 1660 Super, it would take a miracle for the 5300 to be faster

TofuHaroto what about Ryzen 3 4000 CPUs?

I mean out in probably September but I am sure pricing is similar.

no, the 3300x is a very capable gaming cpu.

Meaning I understood what you meant by budget cpu lol..

Lower end hardware tends to be released later down the line but if waiting is possible then yes that's not a bad idea.

So should i stick with the GTX 1660 super? Or is there some better choice? (in same price category)

No, that's the best choice at that specific price point, unless you can miraculously get a good 5600XT for about the same price.

Okay, so 3300x + gtx 1660 super is the winner atm

Yes that'll be a better pair.
