2700 v 2700x

[almostgfx]

Hi guys, Im planning a new build from am3 to am4 and im looking at getting a Ryzen 7 2700.
I could stretch the extra £60 to get the 2700x but will i notice a massive difference?

Build is just used for gaming mainly but other than that just general browsing the internet etc. If getting the 2700x over the 2700 is only going to get me 10 more fps then i wont be too bothered.
Rest of the build currently planned as followed.

Not planning to overclock either.

ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black 16GB 3000 MHz DDR4

Will be keeping my current gpu
Asus RX580 STRIX OC 8GB


Thanks!

Depends on luck of the draw. The 2700x has a better cooler included which you can sell on for like £20 - £30.

Its at present like £45 difference. You also get a free game with both variants - Division 2.

I'll be using my h105 to cool the CPU so the cooler included will be going anyway
