Should I upgrade?

[JoyfulTarantula]

I currently am running a Ryzen 7 3700x and there's a good deal on Amazon currently for a Ryzen 7 5800x, I am not worried about any issues with my GPU or PSU upgrading.

 

I mostly do some gaming with occasional streaming, and I'm just looking for some quick advice whether this upgrade would be worth it.

Thanks!

Damn thats a good deal, if you dont plan on upgrading your system for the next 5 years or something then you may wanna consider going for it

You should be fine. No reason to update at this time.

Not the best time yet I guess, probably just wait until another gen of CPUs come. Can be getting the Ryzen 6xxx or Alder Lake, or when Ryzen 6xxx or Alder Lake releases, the price of previous gen CPUs (like that 5800x) sometimes will get discounted anyway.

 

But, since I saw about AM4 would be phased out anyway on next-gen Ryzen, if your mobo already supports that 5800X and you don't plan yet to upgrade to next-gen CPUs with the change of mobo anyway, I'd get it, but probably wait until the price's further down.

Agreed I want to wait for EOL on AM and see to effects of 3D on these.

Thanks!

It has better single core performance, which will help in games, but probably not enough to warrant the cost of upgrading, even with a deal. I did make the jump from a 3700X to a 5900X, but that's both a more significant upgrade, and unnecessary for what you do.

Thanks everyone, I think at this point I'm following the advice to wait for the next Gen Ryzen!

 

I appreciate it
