Consider what you need most—gaming performance and long-term value. Based on your setup, an RX 5700 XT at 144Hz looks solid, while the R7 2700X offers a lower price point. If budget matters, the R7 could be a smart choice, but for futureproofing, the newer models might provide better stability and features.

It's preferable for gaming over the 2700x setting (I own that one).

The 3600 offers higher speed than 2700x, especially in AAA titles at 1440p, with a potential 5-10% FPS boost. 2700x excels in multicore tasks, better for CPU-intensive work unrelated to gaming.

R5 3600 shines in gaming while the R7 2700X excels in CPU-heavy work. The 3600 uses Zen 2 architecture, offering strong value for those without physics or video editing tools in their job.

Do you believe the additional cost is justified? How important is long-term durability for you? Which option seems more likely to last?

They’ll both handle aging well, and there’s an extra perk to upgrade easily whenever needed. For gaming, I’d pick the 3600 model.

They match in foresight, and by the moment you need a CPU upgrade, they’ll both be nearly outdated together.

The focus is on gaming. I’m just checking if the 3600 offers a better value since I’m working with a limited budget.

gaming remains the primary focus, which definitely matters. prioritizing single-core performance can help avoid bottlenecks when upgrading your GPU later.
