Go to solution Solved by Ottoman420,

I would go 5800x3d even though the 3d v cach hasnt shown improvments in csgo but you still get the generational ipc uplift and the extra 2 cores 4 threads so you will see improvment in csgo compared to 3600x.

 

Then worry about gpu down the road

Hello guys,

 

Should I upgrade my r5 3600x to a 5800x3d/5900x instead of my GPU? My board is ok for that right?

 

Will be playing low res / low graphic settings and cpu demanding games like csgo.

  • AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600X @ 3.8 GHz

  • Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II280

  • ASUS TUF Gaming X3 GeForce® GTX 1660 SUPER™ OC Edition

  • Corsair TX 650M 80+ Gold

  • Crucial MX500 1TB + Samsung PM981 512GB NVMe + Crucial MX100 256GB

  • G.SKILL Trident Z RGB (For AMD) DDR4 @ 3600MHz CL18 16GB

 

Thanks!
