Please help me choose my next CPU. Both the Ryzen 5 3600 and the 2700X cost the same. Zen2 supposedly has issues on Gigabyte B450/X470 boards (and I have a Gigabyte X470). The 3700X costs nearly 50% more which makes it a hard choice.
3600 and 2700X = 1450 Croatian Kuna (nearly 200€)
3700X = 2500 Croatian Kuna (330€).
I consider ordering it tonight or tomorrow since I have three free days at the start of next week and the deliveries from webshops still work (they might get stopped soon!).

Hi, I went from a 2700x to a 3800x on black friday (it was cheaper than 3700x)and the boost was greater than I thought. The 3700x is similar in performance to the 3800x but the 3700x has lower tdp. The 2700x has problems with higher RAM speeds, mine too, but the zen 2 have not. +1 for 3700x

Here the 3600 costs less than the 2700x... At the same cost I'd go for the 3600, performance are almost on par given the better IPC that compensate for the lesser core count.

I will vote for the 3600. the IPC is much better by a little bit. has enough processing power to drive a fast GPU where most of the money can be spent. But before that, check the BIOS support of your board model if the issues have been fix. Check the Gigabyte forums.

Personally i think the 3000 series is not worth the cost.
The 2700x provides plenty of processor power, in comparison to the 3600 the gain/loss is marginal below 10%. Its performance is more balanced.

I chose Ryzen 7 2700x because it fills out nicely for cheap and to be honest I wouldn't pay that much for Ryzen 7 3700x for some performance gain. I know it's noticeable for some games and applications but not really worth to pay 130€ more....

I voted in the middle as I'm disabled and sadly can't afford the Best one anymore

From my experiences, i'm sick of having to deal with this PC and having to work hard to squeeze out performance from it.
I want something that "just works".
So I will vote for the 2700X.
The same reasoning behind my plans for an Nvidia GPU rather than AMD at the moment.
