Hello, I checked both options. The 5600x costs 313 euros, while the 3700x is available at 277 euros. Since you’re looking for a balance between quality and budget, the extra 40 euros for the 5600x might be worth it if you value its performance and aesthetics, especially with your RGB PRO RAM setup. The 3700x offers an RGB cooler that complements your PC’s look, but it’s more affordable. Decide based on what matters most for your gaming and work needs.

I’d choose the 5600x version. The additional two cores aren’t worth upgrading to a more outdated design, particularly since you’re mainly using it for gaming and light tasks.

I checked a YouTube video that contrasts them, noting the 3700x resolution offers a more stable frame rate compared to 5600x. The extra two cores and four threads seem beneficial since future games will likely demand higher core and thread usage.

The 5600x offers better long-term value compared to the 3700x, while YouTube performance metrics are generally unreliable.

I've noticed numerous videos and benchmarks highlighting the 5600x surpassing the 3700x in gaming, with one clip showing the 3700x excelling as well. Either option would work, but I'm confident the 5600x offers a superior experience.

5600x suits gaming, while 3700x is preferable for streaming or video editing.

I found listings at 5600x priced around $297 and 3700x for $275. Budget is tight, so I’m unsure what to do.
