[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 5600x

[JustPeterinanutshell]

Hello guys,

lately im thinking to update my Ryzen 5 1600 with a Ryzen 5 5600x to get more fps in Games like Valorant and CS. Is it still worth to go with the ryzen 5 5600x or should i wait for a newer generation?

My real question is how long will the 5600x last(if u update my GPU next year when possibly prices getting better) and is it worth now to buy

I'd say the GTX 970 is just under the 580. I used to have one of those. As I said, only thing about a 5600x is you will have to spend on a board too. That's up to you. I see nothing wrong with updating board and cpu now and see if that gets where you want to go since gpu prices are higher anyway, then you can always save for a better card if desired.

im getting ur point mate. but if i go for 3600 i think i need to update a lot earlier and i guess the new sockets with ddr5 will be hugely overprices and buggy in the beginning?

I don’t disagree with you, but if you go 5600x you will be buying a board as well. I would hesitate on the 10400f just because you’d be getting a new board and cpu to match a 3600 to put in the existing board.

Of the cpu options I’m saying 3600 is the budget option.

If you want to go b550 board and 5600x, I say go for it, you’ll definitely get better performance than the 1600, and even the 3600. I know myself I’ve been considering upgrading my board and getting a 5600x, or getting a 3000 series 8 core. Since I’m on a b350 board and can’t upgrade cpu any higher.

For me with my 6600xt I’m getting good performance so I can’t complain, but you know how the upgrade itch is, always wanting to go faster. But especially if keeping your gpu a while, go ahead and get the board and 5600x, and you can upgrade the gpu when prices eventually go down.

I know I’m considering attempting to overclock my 3600 to see how much speed I can pull out of it. So since I’ve got a good gpu maybe I’ll look at getting a decent board and try to push the 3600 on an overclock then swap for a 5600x or 5800x when the new cpus start arriving.

Update:
i have bough the Ryzen 5 5600x for 255€ guess its a good price and new MB, I was thinking to upgrade only to 3600 but i guess until DDR5 and new CPUs are fine to use and affordable it is already mid 2023 so 2 years gaming without a headache i hope. My Ryzen 5 1600+RAM lasted me 3,5 Years so its fine.

Your old stuff is probably still worth something on eBay as well, so you might be able to recoup a little selling it as a kit.

Thanks. Do you guys think if i update my RAM(2666mhz) to 3600 Mhz im a gonna get a huge fps boost?

Maybe a bit of a boost, and a bit more for some games. But not huge...or at least not my definition of huge.

how much fps would u think in like valorant, cs which is highly cpu focused?

With so many variables I wouldn't dare a guess.

You could probably make a test to see how sensitive it is to memory: set your system up with memory at 2133 clock and check FPS in the game. Then at 2666 and do the same. You have to control the experiment so change nothing else. It's also best if there's an in-game scripted benchmark you can run.
