A gaming cpu

[GamingGeek5]

Hey guys i am upgrading from my ps4 pro to a new pc so i would like to know what cpu i should go for i want a cpu purely meant for gaming i do not do streaming and it has to be future proof I am planning to play on 1440p 144hz and also m planning to get an rtx 3080 i was thinking about the 5900x but idk 

 

Thanks

If this is purely for gaming - 5600X. The 5800X would also make sense, if it wasn't for it being priced so oddly in comparison to its lower and higher core count counterparts.

What other components do you plan on using?

5600x when in stock or maybe 5800x if you have the budget

5900x will be a big overkill if you only plan to game. at 1440p you will be GPU bound so 5800x will be more then enough even 5600x

or you can wait until amd release the 5700x, it will be much better value, as it has always been

I think 5900x could a bit overkill just for gaming.

R7 5800x is good for gaming and other day-to-day use.

If you can afford R9 5900x, you can definitely afford R7 5800x. You can spend that money on other stuff like one more case fan.
