What CPU and PSU question

[G0dfellas]

So my current build consists of:
5600x with AIO,
FE 3090,
32gb 3600mhz g skill rgb,
2 fans,
1 m.2,
1 sata ssd,
1 hdd,
750W EVGA Platinum psu

 

I recently started considering getting a 5800x or 5900x but i had 2 things in mind.

Which of the two will have a better performance increase for the buck and will they be able to work with my 3090 under a 750w evga platinum psu. I dont plan on overclocking, just stock.

 

Id appreciate any thoughts on it. Thank you

For gaming there prolly wont be a huge difference between the 5800x/5900x, with the 5900x winning in some cases. Honestly, you could even slightly oc/tune the 5600x and get the same performance. The 5800x has a 105w tdp, and the 3090 fe has a 350w tdp so You'd prolly be fine without overclocking, especially considering the cost of higher wattage psu units. Just my thoughts, a psu upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea tho.

Ur right about the psu upgrade, ill definitely look into that soon. At the moment u think a 5800x or 5900x upgrade is worth it with my current build?

IMO upgrading from a 5600X is not worth it at this time if your build is for gaming. Unless you are running at an unrealistically low resolution like 1080p, there will be essentially no difference between the 5600X and the higher-end CPUs, and even at 1080p the difference will be pretty marginal.

 

If you are concerned about future games needing more than 6 cores to have a good experience, just wait until that sort of thing actually becomes common, and then pick up a 5900X/5950X secondhand for a fraction of the price you would pay now.

 

If you are doing some kind of work that will actually take advantage of the extra cores, go for a 5900X/5950X.

you can overclock, and wattage wise its perfectly fine.

xD i am actually running 1080p, but now u got me thinking if its actually worth it

I wouldn't upgrade - but if it were me I would have got the 5800x/5900x if I knew I was going to be pairing it with a 3090 at the start instead of the 5600x.

Really depends on what you want to do with your rig. Gaming wise a 5600x/5800x would be fine, and if you want to do like video editing or something a 5800x/5900x would be optimal. Also keep in mind finding a 5900x is pretty difficult, so maybe a 5800x would suit your build better.
