Which CPU is best?
I'm comparing Ryzen 5 2600 and Ryzen 5 3600 for a streaming/productivity/gaming setup. The build will run on a motherboard with 16 to 64GB DDR4 RAM. You'll also need to consider purchasing the components from Amazon in Mexico. The 3600 model comes with a more costly board, making the 2600 a more budget-friendly option for your needs.
Not all AM4 boards work with every Ryzen chip, though some might need a BIOS upgrade. PCPartPicker lists the relevant parts with their costs. Prices cover shipping, taxes, rebates, and savings. Example entry shows a Ryzen 5 3600 at $4571.27 on Newegg Mexico. The motherboard mentioned is ASRock B450M Steel Legend Micro ATX AM4. Total comes to $7107.78 as of February 25, 2020.
