Hey there, welcome to the forum! I’m still figuring things out. I’m wondering about some questions: I can get a Ryzen 5 3600 for $10 more than a Ryzen 7 2700X (both have their own coolers, so it might help in games). If I buy the 3600, do I need to upgrade my A320 board? It’s not cheap, and shipping costs are high. Also, how does the Ryzen 7 2700X compare to the i3 9100F in gaming? Thanks for your help—I look forward to your answers!

In fact, the performance gap is minimal, so it makes sense to choose the 2700x option instead of spending more.

Absolutely opt for the 2700X—it's more affordable and offers comparable performance. It will surpass the i3 in gaming, though the gap becomes clear only with a top-tier graphics card.
