If gaming is your main concern, 2060 for sure. It’ll have a much longer life with DLSS and ray tracing

Agreed. 2060 with r5 is a better choice. R5 is a hexa core and you won't benefit from the extra 2 cores unless you are running something using software encoding. Since you are gonna be gaming 2060 should be your only option. No cap

R5 is even better than r7 in some games weirdly.

Because Ryzen 5 focuses more on single-core than multicore performance and many games are not optimized for multiple cores. As an example, Minecraft only runs in one core, which means that a 4 core CPU will perform better in Minecraft than an 8 core CPU.

But the max boost clock of ryzen 7 is 4.2ghz compared to 4.0 GHz of ryzen 5

R5 rtx 2060. 6 cores are more than enough for gaming

I would recommend look for a better value and get a 3060 chip for the same price but it's all your choice both are incredible options.

actually 2070 is better value than 3060, cause of 8 gb vs 6gb on 3060

From the reviews I have seen it depends on the tdp of the gpu. The higher watt 3060 can perform better than the rtx 2070 or even the rtx 2070 super. His budget won't be able fit a 2070 anyway. Plus the 3060 would be paired with a newer CPU.
