Check compatibility for a 5600X on B450 motherboard.
Are you considering the 5600x? With a 280Hz display and CPU constraints, it might be challenging to hit those frame rates in most games. You usually run on lower settings in titles like Minecraft, CS:GO, and indie games, but sometimes you push it for triple A titles or Doom Eternal. Your current setup includes an overclocked R5 2600 at 3.7GHz, 8GB DDR4, and a Ryzen 5000 with extra memory. The system should support the new BIOS, so it looks like a solid foundation for your needs.
Make sure your BIOS is updated to version F60 or higher for optimal performance. The 5600X remains a top choice for gaming. I personally use it and am quite satisfied.
Yes, it should support 280Hz. Your F61A chipset is compatible with that frequency.
I aim for a 3070 in the future, but the games I enjoy most work well on my current 970. I’m okay with 150fps or lower, though it varies by title.
It doesn't make sense to buy a $300 CPU with only 8 gigabytes of 2666 MHz RAM left.
