CPU, Memory GPU options

[MoridinUK]

I have a Socket AM4 board and I need a CPU, memory and GPU for it. The principal aim is for a solid gaming experience, solid fps, but on high quality settings. I really need to stay as close to £300 as I can.

I'm not sure the differences between a 1050ti and 1060 are worth much?

I have been thinking about something like this:

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B32
AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600X 4.20GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail
MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti AERO ITX OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
£365

But I'm unsure about these options?

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B32
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming OC 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Quad Core 4.0GHz (Socket AM4) APU with RX Vega 8 Graphics - Retail
£318

OR Something like:

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B32
AMD Athlon 3000G Dual Core 3.5GHz (Socket AM4) APU with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics - Retail
Leaving me with £200ish to hunt a 2nd hand 1070ti for the gpu?

Ryzen 1600 (£90), RX590 (£165) and 16GB 3200mhz ram (£60)

Comes to £315 but gets you 6 cores and a better gpu than the 1060.

1050ti is still the ripoff of the decade. 1060 is still about 10% slower that the 590 with less vram and costs more.

Do you think 6 cores at 3.2 will workout better than 4 cores at 4 for gaming?

I thought gaming was mostly a single thread deal? Otherwise great advice

Four cores is good only for Intel stagnation era games.
In any heavier games of the future it no doubt falls apart.
Though neither basic level two years ago 6 cores is that much better.
Next-gen consoles will bring 8 cores/16 threads (basically underclocked Ryzen 3700X) into mainstream in fall-before Christmas.
Those are going to be the way best gaming experience on budget.

battlefield 5 and division 2 are both maxing out my four cores on my old i5-6600 with 80-100 usage

battlefield was fine on release but this has been getting worse with each update

You will be able to overclock those 6 cores to around 4ghz Unless your am4 board is an a320.
