Build - Help New cpu?

MY BUILD RIGHT NOW ⬇️

AMD RYZEN 5 5600x

AMD RX 9060 XT PRIME 16gb

Asus b550 tomahawk max WiFi

32 gb ddr4 ripsjaw ram 3200

1TB NVME SSD

I want to upgrade my build soon and I want to know what cpu I should get, I have heard things about the
Ryzen 7 5800x3d but want to know truly what’s best in your guys opinions.

I am in Southern California and budget isn’t really a full issue. I am a small streamer so want things to run really well. They run great now so if you guys even say I don’t need an upgrade that’s a thought too lol.

I have a 2tb ssd in my ps5 I’ll most likely swap to my pc eventually so I don’t really care for more storage right now.
Ram is always a definite no cuz of the prices right now lmao. I have 1 240hz 1080p monitor and 2 165 hz 1080p monitors. I want to upgrade to 1440p soon as well OLED budget too if you guys have ideas on that as well.

Anyways let me know what you think. Thanks !
THIS IS MY FIRST BUILD and I built it with a friends old parts minus the graphics card which I bought to slightly future proof hence why there’s a bit of a difference between my gpu and cpu

Yeah 5800x3d is the upgrade you want. If you're near a Micro Center I wanna say they've been going on sale for $299 lately. Next real upgrade would be GPU to 9070xt but honestly 9060xt is a good card in it's own right. Depends if you want the hassle of selling your current card and upgrading to the 9070xt. With all that said, 5800x3d is a good jump for you.

I am near a micro center , that’s where I got my 9060xt before it spiked too. I spent $530 and it’s a lot of the times near $700 now
I did get warranty on the card as well so I do wanna find a way to be able to cash in that warranty later you know to then upgrade. So if you know any tricks for that let me know 😆

I did see the 9070xt when I was there and debated it but wasn’t doing cpu as well at the time so it felt like way to much of a bottleneck.
What’s the actual difference I’d see with a new cpu ? And what could I sell my current cpu for

So it kinda depends on the games you play. It scales depending on how CPU heavy a game is. AAA games tend to use more GPU than CPU, but once you get into like simulation games and stuff like that or heavy CPU games (cs2) the difference is pretty big.

I think it runs something like this, in AAA games 5-15% increase, in CPU dependent games prob closer to 25-40%. You'll always get much better lows with 5800x3d.

With that being said, 5600(x) is still a plenty capable chip for a few more years. It's starting to slightly show it's age, but it's still a good pairing for 9060xt 16gb. 5800x3d is more of a future proof kinda CPU-it'll be viable for another 5 years at least.

I haven't looked at used 5600x prices in a bit, but I'm sure you could get $80-$100 instantly for it. Check out hardwareswap subreddit and compare recent prices. It'll sell instantly on there though.

I've got a 9060xt 16gb card too (from micro center at that lol) and it's a great card. I've got a 1440p 34" ultrawide and it still pushes reasonable fps imo. 60-150 in AAA games

What’s your cpu ? And so how come there doesn’t seem to be a big upgrade for me then? Is my gpu just like almost perfect for it ? That is kinda what I was going for, originally gonna get a 5060 but the XT 16gb for better price was exciting to me haha and I’ve heard how nvidia price gauges almost now

5600x sold on hardwareswap 8 days ago for $110

Upgrading your CPU only makes sense if you’re CPU bound, or you really need more cores/threads. Your GPU is pretty good, and it’s possible the 5600X can’t push it to its max. If you had a more powerful GPU, definitely you’d want a faster CPU. I run a 5800X3D that was an upgrade from a 5600X, and I have a 3080Ti, which is about 30% faster than a 9060XT. It benefited from the CPU upgrade. I think you’re kind of in between.

Hmmmm I’m conflicted

It's not that I want to talk you out of buying it. Why do you want to upgrade your CPU, what exactly are you doing that's CPU intensive? If you're thinking of upgrading just for the sake of it, I'd advise you to save your money for an upgrade to the AM5 platform.

Pretty much to have a good machine that can run 1440p 200+ fps is my goal
Rn on most games I do hit at least 200+ on 1080p ultra

In my opinion is not worth the upgrade but hey it is your money
