Advice on new CPU

[stormeus]

Hi there,

I have a choice between an i7-10700F, a Ryzen 5 5600x and a Ryzen 7 3700x, all of them would be paired with an RTX 3070. Which one would perform better on games?

For games, Ryzen 5 5600X. But honestly, just get an i5-12600KF and DDR4.

I would say the Ryzen 5 5600x as it already outperformed the Ryzen 7

3700x.

what do you already have? where do you live? are you buying the cpu alone or in a bundle with the 3070?

If you already have a motherboard compatible with the Ryzen 5 5600X, or getting one with BIOS flashback is cheap (like the MSI B450 gaming plus MAX,) that is recommended.

10700F but clearly i'm in the minority

I agree that the 5600x is probably the winner but am curious what other parts you need to upgrade to go this route or do you have RAM/MB on hand already?
