Hey Everyone,

I need your assistance on choosing a ryzen processor. RIght now the 1500x is at 204.99, the ryzen 1600 at 264.99 and 1600x at 269.99. Are the 1600 variations worth that extra 65$ over the 1500x. I will be mostly gaming, streaming, doing school work (microsoft office applications), and basic photoshop.

THanks in advance!

Where you are streaming and more games are starting to use more than 4 cores I would, if it's still within your budget.

Were you already planning on an aftermarket cpu cooler regardless of cpu choice? If so then I'd get the 1600x over the 1600 since it's only $5 more and inho that extra bit of performance is worth it for an extra $5. If you were planning on using the stock cooler then the difference would be more since the 1600x doesn't come with a stock cooler the difference would be more($5+cost of a cpu cooler).
