I'm bulding a new pc and was wondering what these three cost

so what should they cost becuase the ones working at my store like to add like 20-50€+ on ryzens and on intels i5 I have no idea because they're selling the i5-8600k for 450€. so what should they cost so I can tell them that they aren't that expensive and I've looked online and the prices are really shifting from store to store. one other thing i checked the 1600x on amazon and the shipping is like 60$ is that real or because where i live/(finland)...

are there also any "huge" difference in speeds between them?
and should I get the 2600x instead of the 1600x(or the i5) is it worth whatever it costs more.
also planning on overclocking the cpu i think if that is easier on one of them or something.

and lastly the difference between the 1600x and 2600x was higher boost clock and the nm thing
what is the nm thing just some side thing I wonder about?
 
I see you are posting prices in Euros so you can use something like de.pcpartpicker.com to find prices of the CPUs from online retailers. The 2600X will be about 10% faster than the 1600X due to higher IPC and better turbo core functionality. The nm thing is basically marketing speak on the current generation of products.
 
Why bother with an X model, just get the vanilla model, save a few quid and then overclock just as good.

With my rig, I haven't bother overlcocking as I can max out every gane I play at 1080 and still have plenty of grunt left over, such as The Division type games.

It's all priced based. Normally I would take a ryzen 2600 on sale for a while at 160$ vs a 280$ 8600k, but now the 8600k is on sale for like 230$. When the gap is only 70$ Intel might be worth it.

I would still go with a 2600, OC it and use the savings to get something else, it can help be the difference between a 1060 and 1070ti
