Are 6 core cpus worth it?

[james8449834]

Basically should is spend the extra on a six core. I'm assuming that 8c/16t is going to become the standard. But will it go from 4c/8t to 8c/16t

which cpu is it? for games single threaded performance is far more important than multi-core.

I'm wanting a replacement for the xbox so it's going to get plugged into a tv. I mostly play city building rts and occasionally x games (all pretty cup heavy) 

Ryzen 3 3100 or Ryzen 5 2600 plan 

Budget is prity tight so the difference in price would mean more storage or ram

I would wait a bit and try to increase budget to like 200-150 for cpu, do you can grab a ryzen 5 3600. Whats your total budget?

IMO 6c/6t is recommended for gaming.
