What would be better

[Isaac Rimmer]

I’m not sure what to go for. I want to play all sorts of games at 1440p but I want to know wether I should go for a i5 13600k + rx 7800 xt or Ryzen 7 7800x3d + rx 7800xt, for a little bit more. And I know there’s a benefit of getting AMD + AMD but not entirely sure what that is so if someone could tell me that would be highly appreciated

Not sure about the amd + amd benefits, but the 7800X3D is definitely worth it because of a few reasons. It uses 2 times less power in games, for more perfomance, and you actualy have future upgradability for like 5 more years, unlike with intel, where the 13600k is basically the last gen cpu for this socket

This

13600K is significantly cheaper, and makes sense if you need more multicore power for productivity, but for gaming it's always worse and not upgradable

Can't really tell about AMD+AMD benefits, as you can't really compare to AMD+NVidia or Intel+AMD ...

Not really much benefit for going AMD+AMD here as it's not like going with one company gives you an insane performance increase just by using their products together. 

 

However, I would definitely go with the 7800X3D since it'll perform better gaming and you can always upgrade to a future X3D chip a couple years down the road on this platform, unlike the 13600K being on a dead platform.

There is usually no benefit for going AMD+AMD  although it's almost imposible to compare since there GPUs allways perform different. About 13600k vs 7800X3d depends on your budget: 7800X3d is definitly going to perform better in gaming (other tasks may not but probably also) as well as probably having more upgrade options in the future. That said if u are on a tight budget maybe it's not worth spending more on the better CPU and rather you prefeer spending on other parts (akthough depends on your specific game).

Country?

Budget?

Games you wanna play?

Usecases outside of gaming?

Any existing parts/pc?

 

7800x3d demolishes basically any cpu as long as whatever you are doing utilizes the extra cache, but if that extra cache isnt used you may wanna opt for a different cpu

 

7800xt is pretty decent but id be more inclined to opt for a used 3090 or a used 6900xt/6950xt as those will crush the 7800xt in performance (7800xt performs similarly to a 6800xt btw)

Oh right I thought I remembered seeing something about it being a bit better because of the same company. But never mind then.
