Should I buy 5700X or 5600X with B550M motherboard?

[Andrewxe]

I play Dota 2 and Pubg 95% of the time. I also do Chrome stuff.

 

Which CPU should I buy?

Trying to pair it with B550M AORUS ELITE and maybe with 6700XT GPU

 

Any thoughts?

Doesn't really matter that much, since performance is so similar in most games (especially with esports). I'd pick based on the price and how long you want to keep the PC.

New build or existing build?

 

If existing build list the full specs and parts that are gonna be swapped

 

If new build list budget country partlist and all parts that have already been bought

 

 

5600 and 5600x are pretty bad buys if you buy new and you are better off with a 5700x

 

Used 5600(x) go for 80-100$ and used 5800x iirc around 150$, probs better off with the used 5600(x) unless you have a use for the extra cores but if you find a good deal on a used 5800x sure why not

Its gonna be new, or maybe I should go with the below parts? Its cheaper than both the Ryzen builds.

 

G.Skill 8GB (8GBX1) DDR4 - 3200MHz Ripjaws V Series Memory

Intel Core i5-12400F Processor (18M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)

ASRock B760M Pro RS/D4 Motherboard

Get a second stick of RAM. You'll thank me later.

A 5600 will be more than good for your usage

The 12400 and the 5600 non-X are very similar (TPU had them at less than 1% difference @ 1080p), so I doubt you'd notice much difference. The 5700X has 2 extra cores, so can't be directly compared.

 

Agree with the above though, try to avoid a single stick, especially with a Ryzen CPU, but it's not great for any of them.
