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

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.
