Question Is the 5600x a good pairing with the new 7800xt?

[Wetles89]

I am on the verge of ordering a new gaming pc and this time i am looking into the AMD platform. I was going to get the 6800 non xt, but then i started looking into the reviews of the new 7800xt card. My pc is for gaming and perhaps some steaming. I was going for the 5600 or 5600x cpu offering from amd but then i started to think maybe it would bottleneck a 7800xt? Going to the am5 platform is hugely expansive in Norway and is not an option at this time.

Any help on this issue is appreciated. Thanks

I would get the 7800xt because it will outperform the 6800 by about 20% but if you were to already have a 6800 or 6800xt it would not be worth it. I know AM5 is not an option at this time but if you can I would go for a 7600x.

Thank you. The Question was more related to the issue of bottlenecking. Would the 5600 be powerfull enough to run the 7800xt at 1440p?

Yes, it may bottleneck it slightly at 1080p but not at 1440p. With that said, however, I would go for a 5600x3d or a 5800x3d if you can find them. You can find a 5800x3d for $279 at microcenter or you can find a 5600x3d for $229
