In my opinion it's quite hard to choose but I've picked the Ryzen 7 7700 mostly because of two more cores. Both were on sale: R7 7700 cost $ 198 usd R5 7600x cost $ 167 usd The website tells me its not worth the 31 usd πŸ˜… still choosed the 7700... I might need those two cores in the future.

The 7600X tray (without a box) is as much cheaper in my country as it is slower. So, if you're unsure about needing the extra multicore power, I'd suggest going with the cheaper option.

In my opinion, the 7700 non-X is better because it's the same price (at my local store) and has the same single-core performance, and it comes with an in-box cooler.

In my opinion, the 7600X is better because it's $60-$70 cheaper, and there isn't much difference in performance.
