Ryzen 2600 or 3600 with 1440p resolution works well.
You're weighing up a Ryzen 5 2600 against a Ryzen 1500X for your son, considering a Ryzen 3600 at a lower price. It's a good question—your setup is solid, but the upgrade depends on what you value most. The 3600 offers better performance and future-proofing, which could be worth it if you plan to keep using high-end tasks. However, the 100€ difference might not justify the jump unless you're confident in your usage patterns.
Better two strong processors now available at home. Significantly improved over the 1500 model.
The 2600 remains an excellent CPU, upgrade to the 3600 and pass it on to the younger generation.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll proceed with the 3600. Will you see a noticeable change?
