Question Ryzen 7 5700x vs 7 5700X3D for Radeon 6750XT

[slick-rides]

I have no plans to upgrade the 6750xt GPU on this AM4 socket system. With that in mind, is there any reason to spend the extra money getting the Ryzen 7 5700x3d compared to getting the Ryzen 7 5700x ? By the time the gpu is no longer sufficient I will upgrade the whole system. Computer is only used for light gaming, but will be used for live streaming, video processing and/or editing, etc. No high end games are currently being played where maximum frames per second are monitored. Is the 5700x a bottleneck in anyway? Also like the fact that the 5700x runs cooler, less watts. Am I missing something that would make the 3D chip a better choice?

Forgot to mention the current cpu is a Ryzen 5 2600x on a b450 board. Looking to get another couple years before upgrading the whole platform.

No. Given your use case and details, there is no reason that would make this worth it IMO Especially not if you're only playing "light games".

Yes, you probably WOULD benefit greatly going from the 2600x to the 5700x. Greatly. Especially in the area of video processing. Like, 30% faster single core performance and 47% faster multithreaded performance.
