And userbenchmark has fairly accurate benchmark comparisons and often mimic or are near the more professional sites such as techspot, wepc, anantech, tomshardware, etc.
I found techspots in-depth comparisons of the 5600x and the 3600 shocking...because there was simply not that much of a difference in many of the games they bench-marked...and I am referring specifically to comparisons that did not include the 3090 GPU, but rather more mid range GPU cards...

I really wanted to upgrade to this 5600x, but after reading various benchmarks from various sites, it is totally obvious that at the $270 price, the 5600x is simply not worth it!
I have this motherboard: https://www.asus.com/motherboards...
Does it look like it has the right firmware available for me to run this 5600x?
I dont see how you can buy a $300 cpu with a total build budget of $900 though. Any decent graphics card will run you easy $500 minimum these days so... Even a $200 cpu with a $500 gpu is $700 out of the $900 budget. You need more money.

Don't feel bad - the only reason I knew where to look was that I own the B450 version of that exact board as my gaming rig. :-)
Right now (assuming my prices are correct still), Ryzen 3300x (Adorama), 3600(Microcenter), 3700x(newegg) are the best for performance per $.
The worst are: 3400g, 3600x and 3600xt, 5800x
Generally, the best CPU+MB deals come from Microcenter or buying a 2 yr old setup from a local mom-pop computer repair shop.
The reason I want Ryzen is that multiple generations use the AM4 socket and I don't have to get new RAM and new MB for a new CPU upgrade. Wish Intel would learn that.

of course ill play more games like Dota 2, PoE 2 or any future Blizzard games but i dont need the latest and greatest since not sure if I will even play it on a 4k monitor haha. but i want something pretty decent. I guess i have to wait for a GPU to be on sale first then build around that or just get a pre build.
