Hey, ryzen 3 1200 vs ryzen 5 2600? mostly gaming, might start youtube in the future, might(prob not tbh) paired with rx 580.

Thanks!

What games and resolution? Also what are your system specs? 4 cores may not be enough for certain games.

Ryzen 5 2600 is superior in every way.

I mean, it is kind of an unbalanced comparison. We need to know other factors to make a decision, like what is your budget, what do resolution and fps you want, etc

I have an R3 1200. It was part of my test ryzen build. Runs @ 3800mhz. Scores well in benchmarks but the 2600 is the better move by far.

Ryzen 5 2600 for sure. Best value cpu on the market imo and you can find them decently cheap aswell
