upgrading my cpu!
Posted by solittylikefire24@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 5 comments
hi so Ive had my pc for 4 years ,, i started with: gt 1030 and r5 3600 16gb 2800 and now i have a rx 5060 and r5 5600x 32 gb 3200,, initially i wanted to finally switch to am5 but with the insane ram prices i think I’d rather just upgrade my cpu for now
I play most games ( fortnite cyberpunk cs2 apex marvel rivals , etc ) with 1440p and honestly i think my 5600x is holding back so i wanted to go for a 5700x3d but those are impossible to find for good prices
So which cpu upgrade would u guys recommend that wont bottleneck my system? Or if u have any other recommendations let me know :))

The 5xxxX3Ds are indeed kinda expensive now but they're also the only upgrade that exists if you're keeping AM4.

Actually no. You could get a 5800xt or 5900x/xt. As someone running a 5900x and 9070xt I've had zero issues.

You could but neither are that much of an upgrade compared to the 5600X they already have, especially for those particular games they're asking about.

For the interim,, look into overclocking AND undervolting both the CPU and GPU. Plenty of YT videos on how to do this for extra FPS. No hardware changes required.
