"Saving the worse for last"



Neg - and it actually wasnt the best at mozilla compile either going from other reviewers that showed those results - Seems the 5600x is the best gaming cpu since when it OC it just 1-2% below the 5800x but for considerably less.

Again, I'm sure those benchmarks are great examples of non-real-world use cases. I'd rather have the extra couple cores for running other stuff alongside my games.

Eh - i have games, multi monitors, multiple browsers and apps going on a piddly 3600 - somehow i dont think it would be an issue on a 5600x - my plex server is also ran from the same system too.

If only I could fit in more.

Also 3080 FE block preorder up - sucks no 3090 yet

This is the base I want to start with, or something very similar. Then I'm thinking RGB RAM, RGB video card, RGB CPU fan, I think I can even get RGB motherboard cables/sata cables? I'll have to check. Will be amazing!

Lian Li Strimer Plus for the cables, any RGB ram you can control with various MB software

My concern with the 5600 is that it's only 6 cores. It would be a no-brainer if it was 8
Yeah id expect to see noticeable differences on games purely designed for PS5/Xboxwhatever hardware.

I don't see it happening for quite some time, but this is a CPU most people will be running for 5 years or more. 5 years is the ass-end of the console cycle where developers will be needing to utilize every single one of those console cores in order to have shit run decently. This will spill over into AAA PC games

Steve (GN) mentioned that since the 5800X is kind of the odd-man out, it's likely to drop in price after the initial surge is done. It's just priced too high above the 5600X for gamers, and too close to the 5900X for workload people. I'd be willing to spend an extra $75 or so for 2 extra cores if it dropped down.

SO if all I'm doing is gaming, minor photoshop, and powerpoints what's the best processor to get? #1 priority is gaming at 4k. I currently have a 6700k overclocked to 4.5.
