I know, The 3600(non-X) or even a 2nd Hand 1600/2600/2700x chips.
@1440p gaming, good enough

This CPU is already out dated. By end of this year 8/16 will be a new mainstream standard CPU.

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.

I paid $390 for a 9600k and mobo almost 1 year ago and I have it running 4.8GHz on all cores.
You're 1 year late and paid more money for a slower combo.

Trying to justify your purchase, eh? Same performance in games while slower in everything else. Only a madman would take 9600k before 3600x at this moment.

I do not get the point of a comment like this? get to the point please.
Or the point is to start the fanboy train?

Aaaand in which universe an 9600k is an 6C/12T CPU.
You paid 30 bucks less for at least 30 bucks less performance and an CPU with so many security issues you can barely count.

GREAT job AMD! Fantastic performance x value, 7nm, lower power and very good security cpu. Its more than 50% better than a I5 9600k... dude 50% more multitasking performance?!?!?! This even was a battle... was a W.O! No answer to this CPU at this time!

Thanks for the review. With this series it is almost pointless to overclock. AMD has done a really nice job with PBO. Everytime I read these reviews it makes me wonder how EPYC is going to do in the server space since most of the workload is multitasking. I have a feeling Intel is in for some hurt in the server space this time around.

If the 3600X screams value, the 3600 uses a megaphone. Hardly any slower but is $50 cheaper. If you plan to overclock, they should both reach roughly the same speeds. The 3600X has a better box cooler, and because of that (and because of the higher default speeds), I think it's actually the better choice for anyone who doesn't intend to OC.
No, it won't. 4/8 is the new mainstream and will continue to be that way for a while. 6/12 will probably be the most popular choice among non-streaming gamers for a long while. 8/16 will be for entry-level enthusiasts.

Great review.
I got 3600X,well just for the 200Mhz over 3600 .I only game and @4k and this is a cheap perfect gaming CPU for me.Can match any CPU out there gaming 4k.
Paired 3600X with MSI X470 Gaming Plus all is very good and I am pleased with the CPU.

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.
