Question Hello, i have a question about cpu's.

[Butters5000]

Hello, i am at the point that i need to start looking into a new cpu, i "was" looking to get a 9800x3d, but unexpected things in life happened, so i'm back to saving, i still like the 9800x3d since it would last me a long while but was thinking it might be overkill, i play games watch movies and surf the net, right now i have a i5 6600k and it's been good, but lately it's been showing it's age and gets bottlenecked often.

just asking for a saving guide,

What is your question? If there's something equivalent to the 9800X3D but on a strict budget? If you're on 1080p now and want to go to 1440p, then you can look at the Ryzen 5 7600(non-x)/7600x. Pair that with a B850 chipset motherboard and a DDR5-6000MHz dual channel ram with tight latencies, and you should be good to go.

You could just drop in an i7-7700K, provided you're on a Z series chipset motherboard and DDR4-3200MHz rams.
