Posted August 1, 2021 Author Hey I was just wondering which CPU I should get since the Ryzen 7 3700x and the Ryzen 5 5600x are pretty much at the same price point on the Micro-center website. Are there any major differences. Does the Ryzen 7 3700x support PCIE 4.0. This is the build that I would most likely be pairing it with https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QJjMsX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 1, 2021 The only benefit to the 3700X is an additional 2c/4t. Because of the IPC and clock bump of Zen 3, the 5600X will exceed it in single core performance (most important for gaming) and pretty much equal it in multicore (most important for productivity). In other words, the 5600X is better in every way unless you actually need the additional threads for your particular workloads. It doesn't sound as if you do, though. That said, there's already games that will scale to 8 cores or more, and that trend will only be continuing now that the next gen consoles have gone to 8 core with SMT. If you want the best gaming performance, 8 core is a much safer place to be, though probably not at the sacrifice of single core performance. Personally, I'd take door number 3 and spend the extra on a 5800X. Then, you have the best of all worlds, and you're good for the foreseeable future. Otherwise, I'd go with the 5600X.

Posted August 1, 2021 5600X still rips. It’s a fun little cpu and it will serve you well. It will be many moons before it’s obsolete. If you run it with 4 sticks it really is a beasty cpu. If you just need it to play games chances are you will have a good gpu anyways.

Posted August 6, 2021 Author Which motherboard is better suited for the 10th gen Intel Core i5 10600k. I was looking at 2 different motherboards from MSI and they are the z490 Gaming Plus and the other is the z490 Gaming Edge Wifi. Is there a major difference between them and is there a better motherboard that would be suited with the Core i5. The one thing is that I need a front panel type C connector for my case.

Posted August 6, 2021 Author Which platform should I go. Should I go AMD with the Ryzen 5 5600x or should I got Intel with the 10th gen Core i5 10600k. The motherboard that I would be using with the AMD CPU would be a MSI b550 Gaming Edge Wifi. For Intel the motherboard that I'm going to be using is the MSI z490 Gaming Edge Wifi. Which CPU should I go for. Im going to be using this PC primarily for gaming on like 100 frames and I'm also going to be using it for schoolwork.

Posted August 28, 2021 "this part list is private" Usually it's better to share the permalink instead of a saved parts list. I recommend that instead. You also get nice sharing formats at the top of the page for the parts list editor, the "T" stands for text.

Posted August 29, 2021 I would recommend either going with the 10400 (cheaper 6 cores) or the 10700 (8 cores for around the same price) instead. You can pair them with either a B460 or B560 mobo. The 5600X is a great CPU, but it is pretty pricey for what it is. The Samsung 980 ssd is actually a budget, dramless drive and you can actually get a pretty premium drive for a similar price. Some examples: Silicon Power A80 ADATA XPG GAMMIX S7 Mushkin Pilot-E ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro I believe the cooler comes with a pre-applied thermal paste, so you don't need to buy more unless you want so extra.

There are 2 different ones which are PWM and the other that is not PWM. Also does it make a difference if they are PWM or not?
