Hello guys, so its been long time last time i upgraded. 
Currently im using an old i5 3570, rx 570, 16gigs ddr3, pretty good bequiet 500w psu, ssd and a harddrive 1tb
My plan is to move to ryzen/ddr4 setup, so i wanted some recommendations. i want to save up some money for now and get Motherboard,Cpu,Ram only, and still use my old rx 570. I was thinking about ryzen 3 3100or3300x, but not really sure is it worth it because i saw ryzen 5 2600/x for like 20$ higher price. So not sure is it worth it buying that one or just going for r3 3100, also i cant really find r3 3300x over here everywhere is out of stock. I live in serbia. Here are the prices of them, Also maybe im wrong about all of them so i would like suggestion maybe i go for an i3 ? but intel cpus are pretty expensive here in serbia
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.40GHz AM4 BOX- 123e/145usd
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.60GHz AM4 BOX-131e/154 usd
ryzen 3 3100-97e/115 usd

The i3 is around 145usd

so imo 2600 is a good choice but 3100 has better single threaded performance and supports faster ram and if you wait a bit you might be able to get either one cheaper

if it was useful give it a like :) btw if your into linux pay a visit here

Yeah because of the new gen ryzen processors probably, question is are they going to release something new from ryzen 3 line up, maybe it is worth waiting for them ?

well there might be but much later because of 8 core ccx and if there is lower end zen 3 its gonna be limited in supply

True, so i guess best is to wait little bit for the new processors to come and the old ones price to drop ? Also do u recommend me to go for that 20$ more expensive r5 or stick with r3 for gaming,

do a bit of research if you are only gaming 3100 is enough but if you do any thing else g with 2600 both are good options personally i would go with 2600

ryzen 3 3100-97e/115 usd

I would say that the Ryzen 5 2600x is better when its 10% more then the 2600, its a bit faster and can be overclocked higher usually
