I dont know why not more people get the 1700 8 core Ryzen for this price..

Pretty sure the 2600 performs better in games than the 1700 due to better single core performance... not many games use 8 cores.

more cores =/= more fps

if you have money and want a really good air cooler, get a dark rock pro 4

going for a deepcool gammaxx gt rgb or something, don't know how to spell it. seems good enough for a 2600 that's not gonna be overclocked
