Recommended upgrade from i5 7600

[gettherefast]

Hi there! 

Im looking for some upgrade, in my place, ryzen 7 3800x and ryzen 5 5600x priced same, please help me decide which one should i buy?

currently running heavy docker and vm units, and occasional gaming session.

 

long story :

I bought i5 7600 from my college day, it went great, I only used it for games and some programming stuff.

as of now, the processor often hit 100% and occasionally it get stuck when the mouse movement gets delayed as well, 

and occasionally it just freeze for like 5 seconds and beeps and then it continue to work as usual.

 

my complete setup now : 

i5 7600 

corsair ram 32gb

samsung 970 pro 1tb (boot drive)

samsung 860 evo 1tb (program drive)

gtx 1070ti

 

i don't think the ssds causes the freezing though.

any advices are welcome.

 

thank you

5600X unless you can see the need to fill more than 12 threads. Even then, 5800X or bust.

ok, thank you!

 

anyway, I read something about upcoming amd new processor leaks,

will that be worth to wait? or should I just get what I can get now?

there will always be something better around the corner, X processor that it available today will always be cheaper tomorrow (figuratively). I would also say either 5600x or 5800x to future proof more. ALso 5800 does have (barely) better single thread perf. But I've seen it on sale lately as low as $380 (US). not much more than the 300$ MSRP of 5600x. what I would do: keep an eye for a sale on 5800x!

I have no idea (no body does) the specs or performance of chips that aren't released yet, or pricing for that matter.

 

I'm waiting. Have an 8700K. But I'm also not In Need of a new system yet either.

I actually went with a 3900XT, and don't regret it. I'm actually looking at a 5950X as an upgrade. My workload will benefit from more cores and threads, but for me, it makes sense.

 

For just gaming, 5600X is the way to go, though.

Have you tried troubleshooting this as a software issue? Are you sure you don't have a program that's super CPU-intensive that's eating up system resources? Because an i5-7600 is not a CPU I would necessarily be itching to upgrade from.

I am curious at what motherboard you are using. You say that you are also using very heavy VMs, no? What VMs are you running? I would say, go for the 5600X, as that will be more future proof with overclocking down the line, but if you are heavy on the VMs, I'd check the RAM usage too. 

 

What is your use case ?

I don't think what is your software issue means.

If that's about me using buggy software that consumes a lot of computing power, I don't think so.

If that's about me using so many software at once, yes it is the problem the processor often hit 100%,

when I tried to close all programs I'm using and play games, it still run nicely though.

Currently I'm using msi b250m mortar, 

I am researching about network drc, so instead of buying the hardware/renting vps, I just create a some vms to emulate the environment.

 

Besides, I am freelancing with adobe suites, so yeah, those thing really hurts.

I have 32gb of RAM, with the peak ram usage of 29gb, I think it is quite safe though (cmiiw)

Oh, I see, so they're resource intensive programs by nature.

 

I'd go for the 5600X.
