Which Ryzen CPU

[jonnypb]

Trying to decide what Ryzen CPU to put in my build. Will be mainly used for general use and GoPro video editing - nothing professional, just family clips. Not really into gaming. Will more than likely be going in the Tomahawk MB with a 8GB GPU such as a RX570/580.

I am on a budget (£550ish for the build) and I think the 5 3600 is out of reach at the minute. Just wondering if the 7 2700 is worth the extra £25 over the 2600 for the extra cores?

Ryzen 5 2600 - £107
Ryzen 7 2700 - £133
Ryzen 5 3600 - £170

Thanks

2700 for your usage, if you were more gaming focused then the 3600.

Thank you, yes from what I read the 2600/3600 seem to be better for gaming. I'm planning on putting a decent MB in the build so that I can always upgrade the CPU in 18 months time if I need to.
