I agree with @NanoShadow4. If you can spare the extra cash, go for the Ryzen 5 3600. It has a higher core count and better cache capacity, which translates to better performance overall. Also, check out this TechReviewer article AMD Ryzen 3 4100 vs. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 for a detailed comparison of these two CPUs.

I've been using the Ryzen 3 4100 for a while now, and it has served me well in most tasks. The performance is good for general use, but if you're looking to do some heavy multitasking or work with large files, the Ryzen 5 3600 might be a better choice.

Solution

Thanks for the input, @alexalextan55. The article you shared looks really helpful. Based on what you all said, I think I might go with the Ryzen 5 3600. Can anyone recommend any good monitors to pair it with?

If you're looking for a monitor that pairs well with the Ryzen 5 3600, I'd suggest checking out some high refresh rate monitors. They'll really enhance your gaming experience and overall performance.

That's a great suggestion, @WaffleMasterZ. Any recommendations for specific models or brands?

You might want to consider the ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q, it has a 24-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate and is budget-friendly. Another option could be the Acer Nitro QG241Y, which also offers great performance at an affordable price point.

Thanks for the suggestions, @Mattathon. I'll definitely check those out. By the way, has anyone here worked with a graphics card while using either of these CPUs? Any recommendations on that front as well?

Both the Ryzen 3 4100 and Ryzen 5 3600 work well with various graphics cards. However, if you're planning to upgrade your GPU in the future, the Ryzen 5 3600's higher core count could provide better performance when running demanding applications or games. Just something to keep in mind.

Good point, @NanoShadow4. I appreciate the advice. I'll take it into consideration while making my decision. Thanks everyone for your input!
