Hi Steve, for a budget-friendly AMD ITX setup aiming for mid-range gaming, an AM4 CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600 would be a solid choice. Pairing it with a mid-tier GPU such as the RX 5700 or RTX 2060 should give you a good balance of performance and cost.

Used a Ryzen 3 3100, then upgraded to a Ryzen 3 3300X and finally a Ryzen 3 3100 again if possible.

Many 3600, 3600x and 3600xt models exist, yet costs remain elevated

R5 2600X paired with R7 2700, R7 1700, R7 1800, R3 3100 (new), R3 3300X (new).
Uncertain about purchasing a used 3600 since it feels nearly new!

It's not a good deal! I'd prefer a 1700 or 2700 instead.

Thanks for the ideas. It seems a Ryzen 5 2600X should suffice for this video.

I upgraded from 2600X to 3600X and didn't see much change in gameplay. The main difference was in benchmark scores. Still, pay attention to the 3100 and 3300X—though they have just four cores with eight threads, they handle games well and maintain similar FPS performance compared to the 2600X.
