Great review. Very nice cpu and like HH said pairing it with a b450 should be a great combo.

This is all you need for gaming.

If this doesn't scream Value, I don't know what does.

I know, The 3600(non-X) or even a 2nd Hand 1600/2600/2700x chips.

@1440p gaming, good enough

I am SO glad i went for the 3600X (The regular 3600 was not in stock at the time). Paired it with a Gigabyte gaming 5 wi-fi X470 board wich i got dirt cheap on a sale. In total i paid 420$ for the cpu+mobo. And i sold my old x370mobo and R5 1600 cpu for 150$ so in reality only 270$ for a fantastic upgrade!

P.S With the latest bios the cpu easily turbo clocks itself on 1 core to 4.49Ghz so i didn't even bother to do any overclocking with this one.

Expensive for what it is (same price as 9600k).
Gaming wise 9600k is still doing a better job overall and can reach higher frequency if overclocked.
