MSI X570 tomahawk max

[Superflyguyuk]

hi all

What would be a decent Cpu for this motherboard, I am lost there are so many options!
Been looking at the following:
Ryzen 7 3700X. Ryzen 5 3600X. Ryzen 3 3300X.
It will be aprox £1000 budget, but cannibalising storage and phericals from my current ready built pc
95% gaming, 5% video converting.

I want something fairly future proof.
Thanks

Just for gaming? 3700x is chosen by many from what ive read around the web. I only got a 3800x but it was literally £5 more at the time between the 2 cpu's think I got very lucky on a pricing error though.

3700X, you've got the budget for it and want it to last, so it makes sense to get the 8 core.

Ryzen 3 3300X not available at RRP, so yes 3700x.

I would go for 3600 as it has the best value and if your gaming then you should be pretty happy with what it has to offer.

no point in spending for the 3700x right now when the 4000 series is coming soon, get the 3600 to hold u over.
