What CPU for EOL system.

[JackJW]

Budget (including currency): Depends on you guys.

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly playing games such as Witcher 3, Deadlock, Hogwarts Legacy as well as ESPORTS titles.

 

MOBA: ASUS PRIME B450M-A

RAM: 4X8GB CORSAIR VENGENCE 3200Mghz

GPU:ASUS DUAL 4070 SUPER 12GB

CPU:RYZEN 5 3600

MONITOR: 1080P 144HZ X2

 

So to summarise I've recently upgraded my gpu from a 5700xt to a 4070 super. GPU intensive Games are fine, but when I play league of legends I'm getting 130fps in Aram and 500fps in rift. Expecting my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu 1080p I'm looking for a new cpu.

 

I know the motherboard isn't the best but at this point I just want a decent cpu that will give me better fps at 1080p and create a end of life system until 5 years from now and then I'll start again.

 

I also know that by running 1080p I'm increasing how much the cpu will bottleneck and simple answer is 1440p however that still can happen down the road.

 

So... the main contenders I'm currently looking at are:

Ryzen 7 5700x

Ryzen 7 5700x3d

Ryzen 7 5800x

I would have liked the Ryzen 7 5800x3d however in the UK they are £700 and out of stock everywhere so that's a pass.

 

Question is, what CPU would you personally put in this system to be buried with and is it validated. Thank you.

 

P.s. I'm aware that I will need to update my mobo bios.

If you cant get a 5800x3d then the 5700x3d is the next best gaming chip.

From a gaming perspective, 5700X3D is the obvious choice of the list.

Cex have 5800X3D used at £295, but IMO that price delta vs 5700X3D isn't worth it.
