Ryzen 3700x or 5600x?

I'm facing an important decision. I can't decide which of the two processors to buy because the 3700x has 8 cores, but a little less GHz, or the 5600x, which is a little bit newer and has a higher clock rate, but only 6 cores mir I will for christmas then most likely also buy ne GK which will be in the range 3060-70.

I don't really work on the PC (except normal stuff for which both processors are easily enough. I'm currently playing in full HD but sooner later I will get either a 1440p monitor or even VR glasses. I also play all kinds of games. From Minecraft, csgo to demanding games like the new AC parts.

You are currently comparing a Ryzen 7 with a Ryzen 5 CPU

If you want to play, then of course the Ryzen 5 5600x. Sufficient thickness

It would be stupid to buy a ryzen 7 3700x even though the Ryzen 5 5600x can be bought.

I would take the 5600x. It has a higher single core performance and that is important when playing

I just want to say that the Ryzen 5 5600X is not available for 300 euro / $ and the 3700X is available for 280 euro. But I still agree with the statement.

Okay and how about compared to the 3800x, which has a bit more power than the 700?

Okay, and how about the 3800x, which has a bit more power than the 700x. And as I said, it is currently available and a little cheaper

It is not worth it

A Ryzen 5 5600 will bring enough performance, especially the single-core performance is higher from a 7 3800x

Neither.

The 5600x is still faster. Why do you want to stay with the ryzen 7?
