Posted November 22, 2020 (oh before we start yes I'm aware of the non-existent supplies of the 5600x but I can wait if it seems like the 5600x is better for me) I'm looking to get a CPU but trying to decide which would be better for my usage. I have the budget already set aside for either one. But I use my PC for mainly gaming, I have a 1440p ultrawide monitor...but when it comes to AAA single player, story focused games I play them on my Samsung 50inch 4K HDR TV(ex. Death Stranding, Watchdogs, Assassin Creed, and Cyberpunk). I don't play any eSport titles or competitive FPS(Fortnite, Call of Duty, CS) and I don't stream or content creation. I also work from home but nothing intense just having a web browser open and Microsoft apps. Soo with that knowledge my fellow IT wizards which would yall suggest, oh and below is my PC spec with notes: Aorus X570 Elite WiFi PCIe 4.0 G.SKILL Trident Z 32GB 3600MHz RTX 2070 Super (already have budget set aside to upgrade to either RTX 3080 or AMD 6900XT) Thermaltake Toughpower 750 W 80+ Gold Fyi: If it matters cpu will be water looped cooled.....i said that weird but I will leave it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 22, 2020 5600x (if not the cheaper Zen 3 parts in the future), but I doubt you'll even feel the difference because such high resolution itself in AAA games is already a recipe for GPU bottleneck, even with 3080/6800XT class csrds CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1 Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync Desktop benching: Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833 SuperPi (v1.5 from Techpowerup, PI value output) 16K: 0.100s 1M: 8.255s 32M: 7m 45.93s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
