So firstly hi :)
Gaming .
My questions are, buy the amd-ryzen-5-3600x-six-core-4.4ghz-socket-am4-pro or go with the 3600 ?

Which would be a good mobo/ram/MAKE choice to go with this CPU?

Im also looking for a good AIO cooler for this rig ? Cant remember my tower make but its massive so can probably take 3 fans!

Any good suggestions most welcome! Budget around 800ish
Thanks in advance!

At launch yes, but now price has risen by £30-40 and brings them close to intel - which holds 1080p crown. 1440p and it's any vendors game :)

Again with £800, push 3700x , or 3600 with B450 board

Did you miss the VAT?
I want a 3700X for £282.49, too!!
 
doesn't eh cooler have thermal paste pre applied anyway? I suppose it's only £6 or so for the tube and you'll use it in the future.
