Hi @UP_Hawxxeye,
I had seen some reviews of BF1, and they said that disabling HT improves performance. So I stayed between the R5 3500 and the 3600.
I will start with one of these processors but I intend to buy a 5800X or 5900X next year, for that I am investing in a good motherboard.
As you said about the BF5 already making better use of HT and this should continue for future titles, I will start with the R5 3600.
Thanks.
If you plan on playing BF6, I would simply wait until you can get a 8c/16t CPU. Minimum specs for BF6 will perhaps be less (than 8c/16t), but BFV and BF1 ran badly on minimum specs and the same will probably happen with BF6.
Unless you desperately need to upgrade now, buying a 3500 would seem like waste of money, instead of waiting until you have the money for a better CPU. If you already have the MB for the 3500, then you can probably use the same MB for a 5800x as well.
The way Ryzen works, the MB is less important. Unless you just have to tweak to get perhaps 5% of CPU-performance, a "good" MB often makes no real difference (and overclocking Ryzen often comes at the cost of lowering max single-core boost clock anyway).
Next year AMD (and Intel) will probably use DDR5 for their CPUs and then all money invested in MB/RAM will become obosolete, which is worth considering.
