Consider a CPU pairing with your MSI RX 580 gaming rig. A solid choice would be an i5-9600K or i7-9700K processor. For the motherboard, look for a quiet option like the B550 or B660 series. RAM should be at least 16GB DDR4, preferably 32GB if possible. The Noctua NH12S cooler is a great pick for quiet cooling. Since you're on a budget around €600, these options should fit well without breaking the bank. Let me know if you need more details!

We understand AMD offers potential benefits, though pricing details remain unclear. Which nation are you purchasing from?

For any budget-friendly option, AMD is highly recommended. If local AMD chips aren’t available, you can purchase them from Aliexpress with complimentary global shipping—trusted sellers are confirmed. You might find a Ryzen 5 2600 for around $95 or a Ryzen 5 3600 for roughly double that amount. Be aware of the free shipping perks and the fact it’s shipped from China, which may extend delivery time to about a month.

Ignoring that detail isn't important, though your username seems a bit concerning.

The Ryzen 5 3600 offers better value compared to the 9600K, and the B450 tomahawk Max seems reasonably priced too. These choices look more attractive than i5 or i7 in terms of performance, and they’re likely to be cheaper overall—unless you had to compromise on a good motherboard.
