I might buy this. Ahhh so confused. Coming from 1700x I know it's an upgrade but not sure if I should just get the best of the best and go 5800x3D at this point for AM4

Here's a TechSpot article comparing the 5800X3D to the 5800x [techspot.com]. If you were going to spend an extra $100 to get the 5800X3D, I would wait to see if it goes on sale again for $300-$310, as previously posted on SlickDeals.

I think a thing to consider is that the 5700x is a lot easier to cool. If you're going to get the 5800x3d I would consider getting a beefy cooler to go with it.

Man, I don't know if I'm going crazy or the industry is pumping out CPUs faster. Feels like I literally just bought my 5600 and it's already bargain bin. I feel like they used at least wait a couple years between releases.

And this is precisely why I got a new X570S instead of B550 MB, so I could use my 2600X until 5700X prices came down some more, more than the price difference between comparable X570S and B550 MBs. Not a power user or gamer but it's nice to refresh things every few years. I'll wait till it's under $150, and will reuse the 2600X's Spire cooler.

Unless you need the extra cores for work, there's little benefit to spending money to upgrade from a 5600X to a 5700X.

not really a deal, it was $190 just a few days ago on Amazon and you get 3% of 5% if you have Prime. Also not sure ebay purchase will qualify for free COH3 game bundle from AMD

Wow I just "upgraded" to 11400 since I have LGA1200. It cost $90 from Hardware Swap, but now I need to buy a $40 CPU cooler to get it cooled. When unlocked to 100W to 150W, the CPU overheats really quickly.

But now Ryzen blows it out of the water. Too bad I built this PC in 2021 when Ryzen wasn't really available for under $300. Now the best I can do is 11th gen + beefy cooler.

Ahh. Sitting here running my 1600af 6-core CPU that I got for 85 bucks. Already have a decent setup otherwise (Nvme, 32GB fast RAM, aging 980ti) , I really can't justify buying 2 extra cores for my AM4 rig at this point.

My CPU pretty much sits idle while I sit on zoom/teams calls all day. The only time I'd benefit from a faster CPU is with rendering drone video in Davinci Resolve, and I just don't do that much of that anymore.

I really just need to hold off on AM5/DDR5 dropping in price. GPU upgrade makes sense, but I am holding strong since my 980ti keeps me alive long enough to get my ass kicked in Warzone.

Welcome to getting older, time just won't slow down.

If you have the PayPal credit card I think you can get 6 months zero interest financing on this. Just fyi.
