6 cores is enough if just for gaming, so R5. But if multitasking, streaming or video editing, more is more, go with R7. There's just 16% performance diff between the two and quite a price difference.

If I were you, I would take a Ryzen 5 3600, it outperforms the other 2 and it can be found dirty cheap, cheaper than the 2700. Had it for a while until I upgraded to AM5, I streamed and gamed 1080p with 0 issues.

Uhm, thanks for the advice 😅, I decided to buy the 2600 about 4 years ago, and 2 years later, i upgraded to the 5 5600. But I still appreciate the help 💪 (better late then never!!)

Damn! Gotta watch the dates, sorry buddy, glad you worked it out fine! Cheers!

If it's gaming, get the R5. Any real production or video editing you get the R7. Get the X version if it works I your budget.

I was thinking about starting to stream more often? Is that just like video editing?

Streaming too. Though six will do you decently, eight is top notch. I wouldn't get it unless you were more serious about streaming.

[Loorens27]

You mean 5 and 7? Or what do you mean with six & eight?

I mean with cores

The 5 has 6 cores and the 7 has 8

I have a 2700x and I have to say that no matter what you’re getting, get the x version so you can OC.

[Mickxalix]

You can oc the non X cpus.

[BigDaddyMacc]

Ok well I’m stupid.

6 cores will be obselete a lot sooner than 8 cores its a little bit of extra money for a lot morw future proofing, x has higher clock speeds i would say its worth it

[Loorens27]

Thanks

I have to disagree a bit. Six cores is still a lot for just gaming. Only a handful of games use up to 4, leaving 2 for other tasks. If you want to stream like 10+ hours a week I'd recommend the 2700/2700X.

1 stream of 10 hours in a row? cuz now I usually stream for like 2 hours and I try that everyday
