Ahhh. Makes sense. Could he get away with a Ryzen 5 3600X or do you think it will bottleneck his FPS in games?

There's no chance he'll be bottlenecked by going to a 3600X.

You have to go to serious extremes to bottleneck like pairing a 2080ti with a Ryzen 3 APU.

So I could go with the 3600x and the B450 motherboard and be fine?

I think it's still the same generation as the 3700x (the 3 designates the generation, like before these, they were called the 2700x and 2600x respectively), so the same issue may apply. But again, I have not done much research at all on the Ryzens. Last time I used an AMD was back in the Athlon 64 days in the early's '00s.

Ya. Although if you wanted to go with a B board I would wait for the B550's to launch on June 16th and see what it's all about.

I’m in no hurry to buy anything right now. So I can wait.

So has there been any speculation on how much the B550 boards are going to cost when they come out?

So Pest, would you want to go the 3600X route and save a couple of bucks? You will probably still get the same FPS at the same settings with that 2070 Super. And that's really all that matters when it comes to gaming. What FPS can you get on what settings.

I’m open to whatever works, man. Lol

I’m not tied to anything one way or another.
