New Build: 2600x or 3600x? $80 difference...

Very straight forward question, looking to have an answer by tonight. I can get the 2600x for $80 or the 3600x for $160. I'll be pairing it with a Noctua D14, 16gb of 3200mhz ram, and Aorus B450 Wifi Pro mb, XFX RX 580 8gb.

Id like to be able to play CSGO @ 4k @ max settings.

I'm gunna assume you paid, which is why you worded your post like this. absolutely not true. I waited 1.5 weeks. And with that planned, i had all the rest of my parts at the end of 1.5 weeks for the build.
But i bet you didn't get yours for free and paid someone money for it.
I guess it depends if they've opened up other locations to handle things like that / RMA service.

I've only had one of their fans fail in the whole time I've used their products (I think it was about 4 years into the 6 year warranty). Their customer service was very prompt in their responses, the replacement fan had to be mailed from Austria since they handled RMAs and it took a while to arrive in the States.

Like with a good motor, no placement for displacement. I say get the best cpu you could afford. If my money i am not planning nothing less then a 8c/16t option by end of year. Perhaps if Cyberpunk2077 is worth maybe opt for a 3000/Comet chip over waiting on 4000 series. If its anything like Ampere, human malware situation MAY push this one perhaps further?

I'm sure I have read you talking about how long it was taking for your bracket to arrive?

Whilst I haven't paid for my bracket yet, I am almost certainly going to when the need arises, as I couldn't be bothered stuffing around for such a small sum of money.
