Ryzen R5 3600 or 3600x model options available
Consider getting the 3600 if you're unsure about overclocking. The price gap is roughly $80 SGD. Streaming and high zoom during esports games suggest you need more performance, and 3600mhz RAM can support that workload.
3600Mhz isn't overly costly, especially in the U.S., it's just slightly pricier at most. This frequency works well with Ryzen since it aligns with the infinity fabric speed. Still, both are single CCX CPUs, so it probably doesn't matter much. But if you plan to upgrade later and keep the same RAM, that could be a consideration.
They won’t lock in a fixed voltage like 1.5, which could damage your board and destroy the CPU. The 3600x runs at 3600 cycles per second and starts with a few higher clock speeds by default.
I recall your sister's vintage machine we were discussing a while ago. She invited a friend to push her CPU up to 4.8 GHz with a static voltage of 1.4 volts. I still hesitate to try that on my own setup.
