You're comparing a Radeon 5600XT with 6GB for 1080p gaming against a Ryzen 5 3600. At current prices, the Ryzen 5 3600 is slightly more affordable. For future-proofing, consider the Ryzen's better performance and efficiency, though the Radeon still offers solid power for now.
This discussion applies to more than just gaming; in numerous multi-threaded operations, the two remain nearly comparable in speed. Unless the 2700 model provides major cost benefits, choosing the 3600 might be wiser.
