I've owned my CPU for roughly four years—Ryzen 5 3600. It's starting to slow down and is failing. I'm trying to take advantage of Black Friday deals and upgrade, but I'm torn between the 3060 Ti and the 128 GB RAM setup. The 7800X is popular, but the 7800X3D might be better? Help me decide!

For the 7000 series, you'll also need a new motherboard and RAM. Pick the 5800X3D model without altering your platform.

You're asking about upgrading an R5 3600 with 128GB RAM, using the 7800x3D or similar configurations. It's great to see you leveraging the CPU's draw calls for smoother gameplay, especially in multiplayer settings. Generally, this setup can deliver much higher minimum framerates and a more consistent average frame rate, making it a solid choice for performance. I've personally tested this with the 7950x3D, which can be switched between 7800x3D, 7700x, or even 3D v-cache after a restart. Unless your motherboard is extremely outdated, moving to an AM5-based system might not be necessary unless you're targeting very low-end hardware.
