Help with CPU upgrade?

The Ryzen 5 5600x isn't good enough for me and I want to upgrade. I can budget around $1000 AUD!

 

I'll be multitasking on 2-3 monitors and gaming at 1440p 144hz. The current CPU can't handle playing games while having other tabs open. It's okay with the tabs closed.

It can handle some serious CPUs, a Ryzen 9 5900X would be a reasonable choice

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
