I'm building a mid price gaming pc and I'm trying to figure out if its better to wait for the ryzen 5 5000 series or get a 3000 series for similar pricing have compatible parts for both but want the best system for the cost

That really depends on if you’re willing to wait or if you want to start gaming really soon.

If you can wait, then the 5000 series will be significantly better for gaming at the same price. (even in a GPU bound scenario, though not an easily noticeable amount)

 

If you can't wait, then a 3600 is the best bang for the buck, and won't rip a giant gaping hole in the rear of your bank account.
