Uncertain about the choice because I’ll mainly play at 1080p with lots of GPU usage. The 3600 costs around 2200 kr, while the 5600x is priced at 3200 kr in Sweden.

The 5600X clearly stands out as the superior CPU, particularly in 1080p gaming. However, you need to weigh the benefits against the cost. For the average user, the 3600 model should suffice.

I understand, though opinions vary—some find the added performance valuable while others don’t.

The 5600x would likely fit on your X570 board.

Following the BIOS upgrade would be successful.

Varies by board, but most X570 models include the Zen3 BIOS for download.

Yes, it would likely need an additional CPU.

The latest Ryzen 5 5600X performs exceptionally well, with benchmarks showing it outperforms the 3600 by 20 frames per second in triple-A titles.

Additionally, it varies by board. Several include a flashback feature that lets you refresh the BIOS without needing the CPU.

you can apply a flasher update if your graphics card is compatible OR switch to a different CPU
