3300x

a 2600 at the price of a 3100 is pretty good value, but it depends on what you're doing with it mostly

It depends on what you're doing. The 3100 is newer and marginally better in gaming. The 2600 is better in programs like Cinebench where the extra cores comes in handy. If you can find one, try to get a 3300x, performs like a 3600 at a better price and with a few less cores. If you could find a 2600 at the same price as a 3100, you should opt for the 2600. Otherwise, a 3100 is still a really good chip for the price.

3100 will be fine for lower budget gaming and everything else

Workload? the 3100 is slightly better in a lot of cases unless the workload is purely multi threaded, depends on the workload but if you're just gaming, a 3100 is better.

Depends on the GPU. CMIIW, assuming if you have a midrange GPU  you won't see that much of a difference in gaming while the difference in productivity would be apparent. This video compares the 3300X instead of a 3100, which means that the difference compared the 2600 would be less pronounced, and even here, you don't see any difference using something like an RX 580.

Make sure you quote us so we can see your responses.

 

"A budget PC" can be for a lot of things. I ask again, what is the PC going to be used for?
