I'm building a PC for my nephew. I can put it together but when it comes to knowing the difference between parts i'm lost. Trying to stick with mostly all white parts for aesthetics.
PC Part Picker
CPU
AMD - Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler
Corsair - H60 (2018) 57.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard
MSI - B450M MORTAR TITANIUM Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory
Team - T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000
Storage
Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
GPU
MSI - Radeon RX 570 8 GB ARMOR OC Video Card
Case
Corsair - Carbide Series 275R (White w/Tempered Glass) ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU
EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
The AMD - Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor and AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor are priced similarly what is the difference?

1700x is first gen 8c/16t ryzen on 14 nm process.
2600 is 2nd gen 6c/12t ryzen on 12 nm process.
I would go with the 2600 because of the better ram compatibility plus newer manufacturing process.
If your nephew still needs the 2 extra cores, the 1700x isn't a bad buy.
If your nephew is purely gaming, the 8600k isn't a bad buy either.
