Ryzen 7 1800X or Ryzen 5 2600? (Used)

[Curesto]

Hi. I want to get one of these CPUs from used market.

 

Which one is better choice?

 

Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max

Any 3600 available?

 

How much are these?

 

I dont really recommend either as a MUCH better 3600 usually costs a little more but offers a MASSIVE performance improvement

 

That or a ryzen 4500 new is like 60$ often

2600 for video games

1800X for productivity

Much cheaper than 3600. Honestly every single one of them going to be massive performance boost as i'm upgrading from a 16 year old LGA 775 system.

Also cheaper than a 60$ 4500?

 

Yes all of em are a big leap but that doesnt mean you shouldnt optimized it

Prices for used 1700(x), 1800x, 2600(x), 2700(x), and 3600?

 

Prices for new ryzen 4500 and 5500?

 

Out of the 2 id go 1800x simply because more cores and you can problably oc it to match the 2600 in singlecore

Although if pricing is close enough to a 4500 and said 4500 pricing is >30$ cheaper than a 5500 then a 4500 would be a good choice

Honestly the IPC uplift from the Zen+ architecture was like 2% at best, so considering the 1800X has 100MHz higher boost clock it's probably about the same. 1800X all the way for the same price, although for gaming even lower-end but newer Ryzen chips will be better than an 1800X or the 2600.

Is 4500 faster than the 2600? New 4500 seems like much better choice.

Yes 20-30%
