[MaT3j]

Hi i have gtx 1660 super and i want to buy best budget cpu for 200dollars I dont know wich to buy bettween r5 3500x and r3 2600x.And i wonder will it be enough to play cod warzone, apex legends, gta v in ultra preset.

Or maybe some better cpus for 200$

You mean R5 2600x? I don't think you need better than that for 1660S.

So you want max graphics settings in warzone, apex, and gta. Will that be on a 1080p 60hz monitor?

if 3600 is worth it and you have a motherboard that supports it? (but could go above budget)

But you would be more GPU bound with it, where a newer GPU would make more sense by that point.

So if you want to save money then either of the one you mention could be a decent point.

3500 if it's at a good price and they both come in around more or less the same, pick the 3500 and newer GPU until you can afford a new one or see a cheap option? For max settings you will need more GPU power and if you want a high FPS.

GN on 3500x, but it might be a bit too expensive for less performance than saving for a new GPU.

i would have to disagree, just a regular r5 2600 would be enough for a 1660s in games

cpu prices are pretty crap right now tbh, an r5 2600 used to cost $120-125 (depended whether you got it at amazon or newegg)

just have to ask what is the price for 3300x Ryzen over there, if at around 130 dollars, it might be a better option?

3300x is pretty much out of stock in most places

So you agree?  What I said was he didn't need any better than 2600x. Regardless the x may be easier to come by than non-x I have a feeling.
