I upgraded Ryzen 4500 (maybe a little slower than 3600) to Ryzen 5600 and its night and day difference in games and video editing. Great CPU! :)

Hello! Thank you for making this video, it is really helpful to know the difference between the two. I have a question, though. What about a new budget? Is it worth going for the Ryzen 5 5600 instead of the Ryzen 5 3600? Pricing different is something like 30$ or something. What do you think? I haven't bought yet.

Can i go with 3600 and rx 6600 ? Is it is a good combo

[WPBEATS]

A more balanced setup would be with 5 5600 because you are using less ram memory that can be used for another task or have a better experience streaming or recording your game.😊

with a mid card like 2060 or rx 6600 no difference on this cards

pubg 200+ fps r5 3600 ? but how ?pubg is cpu intensive right ?

[benolinquimpo]

scrolling down the graphics settings in rdr2 sounds like the creepy music when you do "No Russian" in MW2 2009 💀

[MrMariozzz]

with a rx6600 fps are max 10+ in many games
