I'm considering the Ryzen 5 3600x for my first medium PC setup. Since I've heard about upcoming Intel i5 tenth generation and new Ryzen releases, could it still be a top choice? Also, are there any chances the 3600 series will remain the best option? Plus, could there be any discounts on these models?

It remains the king; I’m unsure if intel will deliver anything revolutionary, not sure if a better fourth-gen option exists at the same cost, but I expect it will. In short, the 3600 is a solid purchase and should stay relevant for some time.

Expect significant price reductions soon before and after the release. AMD appears to keep offering the older model at a substantially reduced cost. In short, there’s no better value compared to what’s available right now—though it hinges on the added benefits versus the X.

The 3600 stands out as one of the top budget/medium builds available today. The Ryzen 1600AF offers strong performance at a reasonable price, delivering around 2600 performance for just $80. You wouldn't find a better value than that—just more for the extra letter in its name. With a bit of overclocking, its performance rivals the 3600X. For a medium budget setup, the 3600 is the ideal choice. Its cost-to-performance ratio is unmatched. If you're looking to stretch your budget further or upgrade components later, pairing it with a B450 board makes it a solid option.

Sure, it really does get quite heavy in the middle row. For many uses it matches up with top-tier options too. When it comes to gaming, it performs just as well as a 3700X. And considering its price, the 3600 offers better value than anything Intel provides.
