The 3300x will perform better in games, while the 2600 excels for multithreaded tasks. You could squeeze a 3600 if you're flexible.

In nearly all situations they're either alike or the 3300x performs better. Unless the job is strictly multi-threaded, choose the 3300x.

For gaming, the 3300x offers speed, but using it alongside tasks like Discord screen sharing, streaming, or other activities makes the extra cores even more valuable. As @Oswin mentioned, consider saving for a 3600—it's only slightly more and gives you the best of both options.

You might still spot a R5 1600af for around $85. It’s essentially a R5 2600 version, roughly $20 cheaper, and it also handles overclocking well. If you’re willing to pay an extra $30–$40, the 3300x offers better performance per core that most games will use.
