Ryzen 2600x vs 3600x

[Fireball411]

Hi all

Going to be buying my new cpu and mobo soon

Was set on the 2600x,but is it worth paying the extra for the 3600x??

I wont be overclocking or gaming to highest quality resolution

I do want longevity out of the cpu as in terms of longest time to upgrade again

Would it last much longer and would i notice any difference in the two?

It may be a daft question to some,but am a novice trying to learn about it

Thanks

Dave

It may be me being thick,but the 2600x and the 3600 the same speed at 3.6?

What benefit would i get over the 2600x?

Unless you are after a X570 motherboard with PCIE4 (Gigabyte X570 Arous Elite and ASUS TUF Gaming X570 are good choices), it's cheaper to get a B450 motherboard that already has bios updated to support the newer Ryzen 3000 series, such as the MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX.
Some motherboards also has a bios flashback feature so you can update the bios via USB stick.

Ill be going for the MSI Tomahawk Max,been told this is updated already

The 3600 is virtually the same as the 3600x,the 3600x has slightly higher boost and comes with a better cooler,the 3600 you can oc it and buy a better budget cooler

I wont be overclocking
