2600 vs 3300x

08-17-2018, 09:25 PM

You're unsure about the best choice for your Ryzen 3 1200 with a 320 MHz M.2 slot. Since you don't plan to upgrade your CPU for the next two years, a 4C/4T processor should suffice for gaming and everyday use. The 7nm 4C/8T is more advanced but might be overkill unless you anticipate future upgrades. In your area, the 3300X is cheaper than the 2600, and you're considering a 12nm 6C/12T for later. It's a good idea to focus on performance now rather than chasing the latest tech.

You might require additional CPU power to achieve a 75fps target because higher frame rates demand more processing resources, especially for tasks like rendering, physics calculations, and AI processing.

You're concerned about what's to come in gaming.

Consider this later when it’s clearly not sufficient anymore. Not today’s perfect moment to upgrade everything.

It seems you're suggesting the graphics card isn't under excessive strain and that two years is a reasonable timeframe for planning.

4c8t (SMT) handles modern single-player games well. I recommend the 3300x, particularly for older or less recent titles. It's a stronger CPU choice for gaming.
