Right now I'm running a Ryzen 3600 on an ROG B550-F board. Looking at the new Ryzen 5000 series, the only choice within my budget that appears to be a "reasonable" choice according to the majority of the PC community, is the 5600x. In Canada, it's $439, the 5800x is $639, and the 5900x is $779. Currently I just play games but going to be looking into streaming a little video editing here and there.
Question is: 5600x, push for 5800x, or stick with 3rd gen and get a 3700x ($409)? The 5900x is a little high for me and I think would be way overkill for what I'm going to be doing with my system. I've also got an RTX 3070 as my GPU and a 240mm AIO as my cooler.
