Question Upgrading Question

[copilu]

I'm thinking to upgrade my CPU, but I'm not sure what to choose. I have RTX 4060, AM4 Motherboard and 16 GB of 3200mhz RAM. I was thinking about the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, but is it worth waiting more and get the Ryzen 7 5700X?


Thanks in advance!

If you can afford it and find one in stock, get the X3D SKU's, like the 57000X3D or 5800X3D. It'll be a worthwhile upgrade if they're not the same price as an Ryzen 5 7600 processor.

what is the problem with the 4500, it doesn't work well?a 5600 with the 4500 you have doesn't have big differences and the motherboard you have isn't the best there is, you probably have it for games

The problem with my Ryzen 5 4500 is that, in the games I play, the cpu goes full 80-100% and my gpu is standing at 40%. Even in games where the gpu should be working more. A friend of mine has almost the same configuration, but he has a Ryzen 7 5700X, and he is getting 100-120 fps more than me in the same games.

You need a new PSU too because that nJoy is junk. You risk the system with that piece of trash. And it does not have any 80+ rating.
