Thanks for the answer !
You say no mobo change would be required anyway, but would a B450 hinder overclock significantly on the 3600 ? Unless I'm missing the point and overclocking doesn't actually matter that much for film editing and rendering.

Anyway, turns out I might be interested in those CPUs myself too. I had been asking questions about the i5-9600K cause I wanted to buy one, but I'm starting to wonder whether I might make a better choice by picking the 3600/3600X over it. I will be overclocking it most probably, and will mostly use it in gaming scenarios, although I do sometimes do a bit of editing and run C, C++ and Python based programs. In both the Intel and AMD scenarios I'd probably get a new mobo and cooler (current MSI Z370 A-PRO and Be Quiet! Pure Rock on an i3-8350K @4.5GHz). But prices on the X-570 mobos seem like a real issue to me right now, so I'd probably settle for an X-470 I guess ? I don't know whether the non-X version of the 3600 is better or worse for overclocking either, nor what cooler or X-470 mobo I should go for.

As for AMD GPUs, I'm wondering whether the RX 5700 XT could be worth an upgrade from my GTX 1070 once aftermarket cooling solutions and drivers are fully sorted out. I'm currently playing at 1080p144 with a FreeSync compatible monitor, which is why I'd be interested in AMD GPUs. I don't think I will be making the switch to 1440p anytime soon cause I care about the refresh rate and would probably need at least an RTX 2080 to make really good use of 1440p144, not to mention screen tearing in that case unless I pay extra to get a G-SYNC monitor. My only concern is whether that decision would be enough of a future investment (e.g. will I be feeling like I should switch my GPU again in less than 2 or 3 years).

Ayo, a friend of mine is planning on building a PC somewhere towards the end of the summer, mostly directed towards film editing (he studies cinema) but he also would like it to be able to sustain decent gaming loads in the future on fairly high settings in 1080p. As of right now, I've come up with this build for a budget of around 1000 euros : https://www.materiel.net/configurateur-pc-sur-mesure/6d2725a6711b0dbf17875fe1056a113d/
Partpicker isn't the most convenient sorry. Price includes monitor and two complementary fans I've picked.
Obviously, if the 3600 or 2600X happen to have a close pricing to the 2600 I'd pick one of them over it, but 2600X would probably be better cause no mobo change would be required ?
Thanks in advance

Edit : He will probably be willing to overclock his CPU, which might make 2600 a better option than the X-variant. What cooler would you recommend however ? Not sure whether the one I've picked is beefy enough for a 4,1 GHz overclock.

first one, image quality sucks not sure why

Sent dispute yesterday evening. Hope it works. I would assume if it doesn't in 2 or 3 days there's little to no chance it ever will.

Was gonna post a fragclip on YouTube, but ended up getting blocked because of the Warner Media Group.
Any tips on how to get rid of the block ? Does the "fair use" method still work ? I see lots of fragclips with WMG-copyrighted music on YouTube still so I'm assuming there's some way to go past it.

Bro that's actually potentially genius, hope it doesn't cost me a liver and nothing gets broken in the process
I said potentially tho cause I'm not sure about the monitor making it alive through this

Ayo. So basically I am to go on an internship in Germany in a week, near Düsseldorf/Wuppertal and the issue is, I will be traveling by train alone so there's pretty much no way I'll be able to manage carrying both my luggage and my PC/monitor.
Thus, I am looking for any recommendations from people who might live in that area/know people or places in that area where I could get decently cheap rentals for a PC and monitor (1 month), or maybe even just monitor if I'm too tight on budget. Even just knowing people who live nearby and have some stuff they could lend to me would be a start. Obviously if you have a genius idea that would allow me to bring my own PC and monitor there without needing a 3rd arm, I'll gladly take it.
Please save my k33n S33 Mid Playoffs goal.

Edit : The company I'll be working in is located in Remscheid, if that precision can help.

Fans are Silent Series LL 120mm White with 41.8 CFM, whereas the Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm PWM have a max of 51.4 CFM. Should I get a replacement for those two anyway instead of swapping ?

Any ideas for the cheaper dual tower cooler ? For that or either the NH-U14S I'm assuming I'd have to move my GPU down to the next PCI-E slot on my Z370 A-Pro ? Would it fit with the RAM (which is on the slots farthest away from the CPU, separated by one empty slot obviously) ?

On topic of good airflow in the case, I had a question about one of my fans : my case is a Fractal Design Focus G, and it's got 2 120mm fan slots on top of it. I've had one fan on one of those spots so far on exhaust (the one closest to the rear), and the thing is that there is a dust filter covering both those fan spots. I was wondering if I'd need to remove it to increase airflow or if it would just not be worth it considering I'd have more dust coming in when the fans aren't running. I believe the dust filter is one piece covering both spots and I cannot uncover the two separately.

Edit : I might me able to uncover one spot separately. Would it be worth it still ?

Planning on getting a Noctua NH-U12S to cool the i5-9600K, on keeping the Z370 A-Pro and on aiming for 4.8 GHz. Does it seem reasonable ?
Just to add to the airflow topic I have two intake fans in front (original Fractal Design ones) and two Be Quiet Pure Wings 120mm PWM on exhaust, one at the rear and one on top near the rear as I said.

Do you mean the actual manufacturing quality of my i5-9600K chip could have a big impact ? Or did you mean an i5-9600K vs an i5-8600K could make a difference for instance ?
As for "not very efficient" I guess you're talking about needing a higher voltage to run a stable overclock on a given clockrate than with a good Z390 ? And higher power consumption overall ?

Thanks. Do you think my Z370 A-Pro would be very limiting here ? It probably would I'm sure but I'm asking just in case it could handle 4.8 or 4.5 GHz fine.

Just realized there is another concern I might have as to overclocking the i5-9600K to 4.8 or 5 GHz : the motherboard.
Do I need a Z390 ? Or is it just better while not mandatory ? If so, are there any good ones which are affordable as well ? I'm assuming VRMs are the main concern ?
Thanks in advance

upfragged, not even mad

Thanks a lot. So say I were to overclock that i5-9600K to 5 GHz (which is apparently reasonable ?) :
- I'm assuming the Turbo Boost program is going to be disabled automatically, it wouldn't make any sense otherwise ?
- The Be Quiet Pure Rock should still be able to keep it at a safe temperature even at high load for a couple of hours straight ?
