general question

Now I currently own the 5600x and interested in getting the 5900x just because I want to be able to multitask without any stuttering or issues doing so and I am aware that the 5600x has incredible 6 cores and is great for gaming but I would like something a little more stronger. Would this be a good investment ?

Coming from someone with a 5900X, no. Only get it if you want the bragging rights or do a lot of production/virtualization workloads. Most multitasking can be done easily with 6 cores, and if you really need more than that, get a 5800X.

That's what I did.. I mostly did it for the single core boost. The rest is all good though. Make sure your cooling is up to par.

Gotcha. Makes a lot of sense actually.

Like if i was streaming on twitch, playing a VR game or any game per say, it would stutter from time to time and someone else said it could be 16GB of ram, which i am still in the process of getting two more sticks but I'm not entirely sure if its the ram.
