B450 + R5 1600X or R5 2600?

So I just wanna ask some advice and opinions. My i5-4690k died recently. So I need to buy a new system. Wanna go AMD, B450 chipset. Was planning to get a 2600 now, then sell it next year and upgrade to the theoretical 3600X, when Zen2 releases. The 1600X is on sale this weekend, for R1100 (~$80 USD) cheaper. Should I get the 1600X at that price (R2500 = ~$180) or get the 2600 (R3600 = ~$260) and be able to sell it next year at a lower loss next year?

$80 less than the 2600 is a total bargain, and if you're upgrading to Zen 2 then you'll want to save money. I recommend it 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
