Help with cpu for rx6700xt

[71941]

Budget (including currency): around $2000 aud 

Country: australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, i mostly play r6 but would like to play some newer games in the future (when they go on sale), maybe some cad useage (not alot) 

Other details: 

i wanted to upgrade my pc to do 1440p at close to 144hz and to reduce the form factor. I currently have decided on an rx6700xt gpu, a define 7 nano case but am unsure if I should go with a ryzen 7600x or 5600x considering i will not likely upgrade my pc for a while and there is an extra $350 (roughly total extra cost) for the 7600x. I will also most likely be going with a 240mm aio with the 7600x since it would suit the aesthetic im after or for the 5600x a top down air cooler such as the pure rock lp. The budget is also with a monitor my current choice is a G27Q-AU 27inch IPS monitor.  

thanks!

5600X will be fine.

I read in a post that the 5600x and 5600 preform the same is this true for a 6700xt?

i just read somewhere in these forms that the 5600 and the 5600x perform the same for gaming and wasnt sure if that was correct or not

they are close enough. If you oc the 5600 a little it will beat the 5600X every time

Would the pure rock lp be sufficient cooling? or should i lean towards an aio (its between these for the aesthetics im after)

Get a thermalright PA120 or Deepcool Ak620. If you really want to go AIO (you really don't need to) then get something like the arctic liquid freezer ii 240

just get one of these

What's your current config and what you intend to reuse from it? If you already have a B450 mobo, then going 5000 series is a no-brainer.  

Edit: something like this will leave you more satisfied than 5600X with 240mm AIO

As to why 32GB of RAM - games lately have rally easy time going over 12Gigs... when you add all the beckground stuff, 32 GB will very soon be the new norm for 1440p.

i am currently on an am4 build but im probably only going to reuse the storage, the old parts were for a more white based build however I would rather spend the slight bit extra and get something that looks a lot nicer.

I'll have to have a look at some builds and pricing was leaning more toward top down coolers and aios just because of the aesthetics, my current idea for an aio was the coolermaster ml240l v2 (i think) roughly 109aud and eventually changing to better artic fans

I wouldn't get the p12s for an aio since their CFM (airflow) isn't up to spec

get two noctua nh-p12s reduxe 1700 PWMs instead Noctua P12 redux-1700 PWM 70.75 CFM 120 mm Fan (NF-P12 REDUX-1700 PWM) - PCPartPicker

What do you mean??? i have 2x P14 slims on my EVGA AIO in push config, puling cold air from the top and pushing it through the rad and they dropped 10°C under full load compared to the standard EVGA fans. I also have 3x P12 as front intake and 1x P12 as rear exhaust (positive pressure FTW for me). Arctic p12s and p14s are more than capable of dealing with static pressure.

according to spec sheets they're not as good as the noctua's 

They're good cheap fans, don't get me wrong. I just prefer noctua redux the noctua's are more expensive tho, but i believe its worth it

I think for my current build the arctics would be better especially since a 5 pack of them costs just a bit over one noctua and the lower end of my cpu as i reckon ill go with the 5600 at the moment

just had a look at the price of the parts and Im thinking for the extra price of the 5800x would it not be better just to spend an extra 150 aud or however much and go for a 7600x?

would 130 TDP be sufficient for an overclocked 5600 or 5600x? looking at the shadow rock lp

That would be much more than enough (5600/x tdp is 65 watts) and that would be a pretty heavy OC so it would be good

Just get the new community favorite:

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler

It handles pretty much everything with ease aside from the 13900.
