Cheapest 5600i could find from reliable seller comes at 105€ (including shipping), 5600x for 116€ and 5700x 140€. Which one should you think is best? Edit: maybe i can haggle for some 5600x or non x on vinted to try lowering the price to an 80ish euro, but dont know id risk buying used from private sellers. (Also they are crazy with prices, they try sell used for same or more than new)
I play all games at 1080p except CS which i play like lower 1000somethingx700something, and im 90% sure im held back by the cpu cause lowering further doesnt increase the fps (also i play almost settings at low so texture, models, effects ecc)
About my current cpu another comment said that the 2600 cant handle 3200mhz, i searched a bit and found other reddit posts that says the same about the difficulty of the 2600 on dual channel ram over 3200. At this point i just wait until the new cpu and when i update the bios ill crank the ram to 3200 when i got the new cpu.
sorry for the confusion, i made a typo hahaha
I asked about the 5700x cause the price seemed not too high and if i could get some more "future proofing" and cores for the right price i could get me to spend some 25€ more.
But if you say its not worth the money more i think i'll stick to the 5600 or 5600X. :)
Thank you very much for your help :)
