Hello, I'm planning to enhance my system by replacing the CPU, RAM, and motherboard. Currently, I'm using an FX 8350 and a 1660 Super. I'm trying to figure out the best upgrade path—whether to go with a 3600 or a 5600X, and I'm aiming for gaming at 1440p by the end of the year.

A 5600x would significantly outshine a 3600 if available.

Because you're streaming in 1440p, I'd receive 3600 credits when it's at or under the MSRP, and then use the savings from your GPU purchase.

I support especially high resolutions like 3440x1440 or similar 1440P variants, as performance shifts significantly based on GPU capabilities. I note that I use a 5600X on my console with a 240Hz 1080P display, while my main system runs a 5900X but streams on it.
