This is debatable. If they are playing at 4K upgrading the CPU will not provide any tangible improvements except for games that are very CPU bound such as MSFS. I have 2 rigs, one with a i7 12700K and another with a Ryzen 3600, both with 3080Ti. The performance at 4K with Highest Settings is pretty much identical.

This is true. Once frame rates get above a certain point it's not super distinguishable, I have a friend who has to have the latest and he has a 12900k with 3090 and he feels it's not fast enough. Apparently the 350fps he gets in his games isn't good enough 🤷 meanwhile I'm getting 150-200fps with a 3600 and rtx 3050 and I think it's fine and I don't see dropped frames

I'm running this motherboard. It's currently 159. I personally like the customization of it. I just learned recently that wake on LAN was enabled through out the bios and network settings, making my keyboard and LAN light stay blinking all through out the night. The FAQ page section for this motherboard where the bios section is has some tutorials on how to disable it. It's been a stellar motherboard for me this past year. I have a 3600 with 32gb crucial ballistix 3200 memory, it's set to the DOCP (XMP) profile and it's been solid.

Should be fine if you check the asrock website for your board. Might need a bios update. I am running an Asrock Pro 4 b450 on my dads build.

I see this CPU going down in price about every 2 to 3 weeks. Should I wait for it to get cheaper? What do you people think?

That's hard to say. Inflation and gas prices will inevitably catch up to all of this. Right now because we just came out of winter into spring and post taxes, less people interested in pc gaming right now, demand isn't as high for PCs, usually some of the best deals on things like this is about this time of year at random times. You could probably wait till Black Friday only to find the "deal" is 200$ then

In for 1. This paired nicely with the $10 Newegg gift card I recently got from a recent order. Thanks OP, big upgrade for my living room PC from the 2400G I'm currently running!

How do what appear to be huge lashes in the L cache memory affect performance when compared to the 5600x?

Bought my 5600G several months ago for $160 at Micro center. Said it was an open box with thermal paste on the pins. When I got there, they gave me a brand new one sealed in the box at that price. 🙂👍

Thanks for the tip. I upgraded the bios from 1.10 to 4.80. Took a little time because I installed each update one at a time until I reached 3.30 version. Along the way I also had update AMD chipsets prior to updating to the next version. If you don't follow the directions on the site you can brick your MB.
