2600 vs 2700

[WhispTV]

I am replacing my current Intel cpu with a new ryzen cpu. Was set on 2600 for $160 but have been rethinking recently that why not spend the extra $100 for the 2700. I will be buying a x470 for the $130-$150 price range and I will not be upgrading my graphics card at this time which is a EVGA GTX 1070 hybrid. I do mainly gaming with alot of office tasks and the occasional stream or YouTube video when time permits. Was a dedicated part time streamer who streamed 20+ hours so my point is I am sticking to my decision of team red. Is the 2600 something that will serve me for a while or should I just go the extra $100 for 2700. The $100 I was going to use on an upgrade from an HDD only to a SSD for a boot drive and stuff and a few minor upgrades. If I spend the $100 on 2700 those other upgrade will have to wait.

AM4 may get 10-12-16 core CPUs early next year

If you're doing streaming just get the 8 core though

Or just buy the R7 1700/X which is like $149 right now or was anyways

But buy a decent X470 board if you get an 8 core for the overclocking, anything but the ASUS TUF board will be fine

I doubt 16c tho, that would kill off 2920X

Those ones still have way more PCI-e lanes and quad channel memory, and they can just lower the price of those further, the 1950X is already like $600 on sale

I'm talking about a $160-$250 budget for cpu not anything further

Not in the budget. How do you get that I'm looking to spend $600 on cpu when I'm talking about $160-$250.

Can I get a helpful response instead of people saying to go thread ripper. 1700x is worth it with new architecture out?

Imagine if the 1900X (aka cheapest TR) had only 6c compared to 8c for a 1700 (highest core count mainstream)

its not worth spend 3x as much (cooler, mobo etc) for a TR with less cores,

wont be responding anymore tonight, good night every1.

1700x is prefectly fine.

No one said go threadripper

The 1700/X is likely worth the price savings, the R7 2700 is only going to be 10% faster on average or close to that

My point was that Ryzen 3000 is coming early next year with more major upgrades than what Ryzen 2000 is, so save money for now
