Ryzen 5 2600 vs 2600x
You're thinking about upgrading your setup. The 2600x costs $169, which is $70 more than the 2600 at $100. With your RTX 2060, it depends on what you need most—extra performance or a slightly better build. Consider your current needs before deciding.
Sure, I need the 2600 version without steroids, but the cost difference seems too large.
At around seventy dollars you receive an improved cooler with faster clocks. For fifty to sixty dollars you can purchase a decent cooler and then boost it to match the X’s performance. Unless you prefer not to overclock or upgrade your cooler, the X could still be a good choice.
It's accurate, though no single shop is required. The 2600x cost might be reasonable at around $100.
