Maybe Ryzen 5 2600x? I know it is one generation older, but a lot cheaper (at least in my country) and it has the same amount of cores and threads. The boost clockspeed is 0.2GHz smaller on the 2600x as well as the base speed.

3700x looks a tiny bit out of my price range, but looking at the 3600 like the others said.
