Hey veterans,

I really need some advice. My current specs are:

Mobo : MSI B550 Tomahawk
CPU : Amd 3600x
GPU : RTX 3070
Ram : 2x8gb @3200mhz
Resolution : 1080p@144hz

Im planning to upgrade my 3600x. I need some advice, after watched some comparison between 5600x and 5700x3d the fps gain from 5700x3d isnt that much on my current resolution and theres also price factor (i live in 3rd world country where 5700x3d is currently around 300$ while 5600x is around 150$). Is it worth to spend that extra amount just for small fps gain?

Split the difference and get a regular 5700x. Unless you are playing very CPU demanding titles, like say World of Warcraft, you won't see any real difference with your current GPU. The 5700x3d will hold up longer, with regard to future GPU upgrades though.

Thanks for the input.

No plan to upgrade my gpu anytime soon, maybe next year. Just out of curiosity, is 5700x a good pair for 4070?
