Which cpu is better for gaming 

i5 8500

or

R3 3100 

or

R5 2600x

if you don't have a mobo yet I would go with @Blqckqut's recommendation of getting the 5600 and a cheap b550 board as for the price there isn't much that would beat it

 

But out of those three, the r5 2600x (but i would save up at least for the 3600/x)

Just buy a 4500, they go for <80$ and make the previous ryzens irrelevant aside from buying a used ryzen 3600 if you can find those for the same price or cheaper than a 4500 as the 3600 is better than the 4500 (much more cache). ryzen 5500 is also a good choice but usually >20$ more than a 4500

 

As for board choice just buy a cheap used b3/450 or if you are really that tight on budget a cheap used a320 although i dont reccomend that cause 4500/5500 have abysmal stock speeds and theres a good amount of oc headroom left (5500 can do 4.7-4.8 allcores, 4500 not really sure, problably 4.3-4.5 ish allcore)

but i believe it is the i5 8500 thats fastest

It will give the highest average fps BUT it will also deliver the most stuttery experience as this is a 6 core/ 6 thread cpu which is not enough for modern games.

 

The 2600x is technically the best for today but really op should just look at a 4500 as they are 80 or les new.

@filpoYou laugh but you were in the thread.

+1 on 2600X, but honest to god youll be better off searching for used 3600 non x motherboard-ram-cpu combo for around $200. That would be the bare minimum for modern titles to me, even on esports the 2600 is starting to show its age.

Why not a 5500? It's barely more expensive

Because it's not better.

 

The 4500 and 5500 are identical in performance

here we go again...

 

the 2600x

 

Also when you say 3 months old you mean someone only bought it new three months ago? It still wouldn't be as good as the 2600x 

 

But i would save up for a 3600

[jaslion]

Neither get something with an igpu if you just watch video's

 

If these 2 the 2600 is the much better cpu

i3 9100 tbh it isnt that old its affordable and it is a decent socket type if you ever want to upgrade personally im using an i5 4460 and the i3 9100 is better than mine. I think you should go with the i3 but in the end it's up to you the 2600x is slightly better

Issue with said socket is that if this turns into a gaming pc (which from the posting history it will) the socket the 9100 is on only has 2 actual decent gaming cpu's the 8700 and the 9900 both are very expensive used and you can literally buy new cheaper cpu's that are better on am4.
