1600 af versus 3600 units.
Absolutely, I understand the 3600 is a superior option. It does lag in areas like video editing, particularly when you're working with a fifty-dollar savings.

If you're streaming and want the 6 cores, ensure your system is optimized for multi-core processing to handle tasks efficiently.
You're planning to run everything on a 450W unit? That might not be safe.
When streaming, you may notice a bigger impact from upgrading to a GTX 1650 Super, allowing NVENC use—this also reduces CPU load. Although a 1600 AF runs about 20% slower than a 3600 in benchmarks like Cinebench, it performs much worse in games, making the trade-off worthwhile for you.
