Please people, do not buy two core processors new for gaming. Those are only good for word processing and browsing. Better look at used four core pcs. Where I live, the core i3-9100F and Ryzen 2600, (not really the X model), 2700 and 2700X are amazingly cheap for the amount of cores you get with the core i5-9400F quite good priced too.
Prices vary from location to location but here a 3600 costs just as much as a 2700X. I personally picked the later generation over more cores but was to and from for three months which way to go.
There are price comparision websites in many countries if not most. If on a tight budget, look at those and remember to add duties and postage charges into your calculations. That cheap processor is maybe not so cheap anymore if you have to pay €15 for P&P (S&H for you Americanos).
Aside from the Ryzen 3950X there was also the new Athlon 3000G announced, which looks much better than the 200G series but still only two cores.
