Is this a good build? (Budget ~$2000 AUD)
I’m looking for some advice on this build. Here’s some notes I’ve got so far: -maybe get Ryzen 7 2700x instead of Ryzen 5 3600 -Been told that WD green is bad, might replace it with Samsung 860 EVO (or 970 EVO plus, though I don’t know if I’d need a better graphics card for that or what) -I can get Windows 10 home cheaply on eBay

2700x is ok if you can get it for under $150 US (88% the value of a 3600). Else, don't. Definitely don't pay more than a 3600 cost for it.
Is the 3600 more powerful?
In single core applications, and gaming, yes. In video rendering it's a little behind, but uses less power. Doesn't come with as nice of an RGB cooler.
Ok, thanks.
