TL:DR Question: How well does Ryzen 5 2600 perform on CPU heavy games like WoW?
I am trying to build a pc for myself, and I am at the low end of the budget. I want to know how well Ryzen 5 2600 runs wow on 1080p monitor 60hz. I try out a i5-8400 but it would take me a bit longer of saving also I don't like to support companies that have shady practices.
If I get new cpu/motherboard. It will be with gtx 960 2gb, 850 evo ssd, and 1tb hdd 7200 rpm.
i5-8400 is overpriced at the moment.
the 2600 is a better deal and can be OC'd to outperform it even in gaming.
By the way, by buying either chip, you are supporting a company that has shady practices.
You aren't going to find a high road with any of them.

Ryzen 5 2600 is fine for WoW. The only CPUs that will perform a bit better and this assumes overclocking are: I3-8350k, I5-8600/9600k, i7-8700/9700k and the I9-9900k.

I bit worried about overclocking. Is there good video guide on how? Will I void my warranty if I do?

tons of videos
usually OC voids your warranty, but i can't be certain.
it's much harder to harm your hardware than it used to be
I run a Ryzen5 1500x and I get 50-75FPS at 1080p consistently (with a 1050ti), so that 2600 will do just fine.
I wouldn't even overclock it (I don't OC mine either). I'm running a somewhat pricey air cooler (one of those huge stand upright kind) but it's one that my cousin gave me after he bought one for his PC and it wound up not being good enough (he likes to OC and all that junk).

I'm using a Ryzen 5 1600, which is basically a slightly weaker version of the 2600. I'm running it completely stock, except for enabling the XMP memory profile. I have no problems holding down 60 FPS at 1440p except in areas where everyone's FPS dips. I had it overclocked for a while, but the FPS gains weren't fantastic and I ended up pulling it out. I like how quiet my computer runs with my stupid overkill NH-D14 cooler. I bought it to keep my old FX-9590 under control, and it just laughs at Ryzen.
One thing to note about Ryzen is that the first gen CPUs hit a wall around 4.0 GHz all core, and second gen is about 4.3 GHz. I could only get mine to 3.9 GHz and I didn't feel very comfortable with the voltage I had to use to get it there. I hold 3.85 GHz easily enough. In game, I don't notice a difference between stock and the overclock unless I'm actively monitoring frame times. If I'm just playing, my computer hardware is doing the best thing possible.. it's working and I don't have to think about it. At no point am I thinking that the game is sluggish or I wish I had a different CPU.

I have a R7 1800x which is the 8 core version of the previous generation. I get awesome performance in games including wow but I do have mine overclocked to 4.0 GHz. Though the r5 2600 on a b450 chipset board has XMP 2.0 which is a type of automatic per core overclocking and it will self OC according to your thermal headroom so if you get a nice cooler like a budget air cooler it may self OC a couple cores to or past 4.0 GHz. Even at its advertised speeds and stock cooler though I can see that CPU working well.
The PC2 is one reason I considered moving to the 2700X when it went on sale a couple weeks back. I may still do it if there's a really good cyber-Monday deal. Precision boost control in first generation Ryzen is a big disappointment.

For the most part folks are getting better results letting the chip overclock itself that by attempting to do so manually.
I run a Ryzen 5 1600 plus GTX 970 and on settings 7 and always gotten at worse 30 FPS during heroic G’huun last night.
I have a 2700x paired with a Vega Frontier I gotten free
I had no problems at 1440p and currently tested at 4k with a 4k tv I gotten free and it has no problems getting 60fps either
1440p was no problem either as well

Yours is probably just better cause you gotten it free.

Game is more CPU than a GPU thing, I'm referring my performance on the ryzen chip not the Vega frontier
I once used a RX 580 that handled 1440p and 1080p no problem during Legion
The 2600 should be fine for him too if he gets a RX 580, 1060 or 1050 ti

I like you. I see what you did.

Deliding the chip will VOID your warranty but I don't know if actually overclocking will void it, you may have to read the fine print, just remember what Sal said, these companies are shady.
One sure way of frying your CPU is to give it around 1.5x volts, my overclock is just setting the board to not throttle down. I setting avx offset to 4 and load line calibration to level 5/6. I let the board handle the voltage and it will increase by 0.25 volts as required. Just tweaking around with clock speed will not fry your CPU.
There are tons of videos out there but one guy who streams this quite often is Der8aur and he does a fantastic job of it. See his video linkS below. It's based on the ASUS Maximus hero X/XI code and intel I7 8700K/9900K but it will give you a good starting point.
