i have picked all the components for a Ryzen build. I am stuck between Ryzen 2600 or the 2600x.
I’ll not be overclocking and using the pc for gaming so is the 2600x still worth the extra £30 compared to the lower priced 2600
 
Yes I have thought about the so no it’s not a joke. Would help if you just answered the question
 
The issue is i am sure the motherboard I want which is a b450 gaming pro carbon AC would have to have a bios update to use the 3600 ( which I did think about getting) I don’t have the resources or knowledge to do a bios update.
Also I do have to buy a gpu and gone with a sapphire rx590 nitrous. But getting a 3600 and that gpu are in my budget.
As I said and I should have made it clearer is I am sure the motherboard would need a bios update
 
Is it a easy process and is there a tutorial somewhere or even better would overclockers do this for me as I will be buying from them
 
Ok the info has made things more clear. I didn’t think doing a bios update was as easy as it sounds.
So I’ll be getting the 3600 which is what I wanted in the first place.
 
if you wasn’t so impatient there would have been another post saying thanks to everyone. I was just looking into flashing the bios
And tbf you was being a bit of a penis

Anyway thanks for all the help and info guys. Really didn’t think updating bios was as easy as it is
 
Will be buying the components on 24th July. I have thought about getting the X570 version of the carbon pro but price is putting me off a little. Will see if there is an updated bios before purchase then decide.
