I have the option to either get a 5600x or 5800x right now. From what I've read the 5600x is more than good enough for gaming and the 5800x and 5900x dont offer that much more performance in that department. My main concern is future proofing since I'm building a new system and ive read that the 5600x only being a 6 core cpu, which is perfect for now, may not be as future proof as a 8 or 12 core processor down the line. I also possibly plan on streaming/multitasking from time to time so would that extra 2 cores benefit me in that area?
I guess I could go with the cheaper 5600x and than down the line if gaming starts requiring more cores in the future it would be something id just need to upgrade at that time. Just looking for some insight from people who know more about this than me. Thanks.
