Upgrading CPU

[Kodutu]

 

So I'm thinking to switch from my I5 6500 to Ryzen 5 5600X as I already have an RTX 2070.

I was thinking to get the Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming as my new mobo, so in the future I can buy m.2's If i wanted to. 

 

Are these two a good decision as I'm not very experienced in planning.

That's a $200 high end motherboard for a low to mid range CPU. all B550 boards have PCIe 4.0 so there's all the futureproofing you really need. I would go a bit cheaper on the mobo. I recommend the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus

Board is expensive and not better than cheaper options (some cheaper options are a fair bit better quality). 5600x IF you can get it for the original 300$ price is pretty decent BUT intel also has i7 10700 cpu's for often under 300$ which whilst they are a bit worse in pushing max fps (still no problem getting 200fps+ in any game that supports it AND your gpu is capable off so basically no worries there) you do get 2 more cores for usually less than the 5600x.

 

So basically what is the price here that is what it all comes down to.

If you were to go 8 cores, I would go 3700x instead of 10700.

Why? The 10700 is usually cheaper than that and still better.

I compared the MSI and Asus mobos, the MSI has much less USB 3.0's, which I really need, also In my country It's only 20 euros less so not so much of a difference.

i would not call that low end. mid range yes, it matches 10900k which people think that is high end anyways.

 

also 10700 or 10400f are pretty good value so consider those

What about bottleneck? I had an Intel CPU, and I thought why not to go AMD this time.

AMD is not the best vlaue right now. also 10400f is much betetr than the i5 6500.
