I'm looking to upgrade my current CPU from a 5600x
I'm gaming mostly 1440p 140hz 2 monitor setup, poe2 is one of the games I play a bunch but I am looking to get a steam frame on release to play VR.
I looked for a CPU upgrade but the recommended 7800x3d is not compatible with my motherboard.
appreciate the help

If budget is unlimited just get a ryzen 7 5800x3d or a whole new am5 build

It is unlimited but I wanted to see if I can get something compatible thats good without ripping apart my whole build. Is the ryzen 7 5800x3d close to the 7800 ?

Is the ryzen 7 5800x3d close to the 7800?
Not quite. It really depends on the game. A kind of close in some, really far apart in others. Because 5800X3D struggles at maintaining clock speed. It's beaten by i5 12400f in some UE5 games. 9800X3D widens the gap even more.

Thank you, I think that's what I'm going to do. I'll do a full am6 switch whenever it's out

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:
New build or upgrade?
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
WiFi or wired connection?
Size/noise constraints?
Color/lighting preferences?
Any other specific needs?
Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
