Consider enhancing your existing setup...
Hey there! I see your system has been running a bit slower lately. The seller you bought it from had the i7-5820k running at 4.6GHz stability, but now it's barely hitting 4.250GHz. You're considering an upgrade and have some options in mind, like the RyZen 3700x or 3800x. I’d be happy to help you weigh the pros and cons. Your current setup includes a 16GB RAM, a 2033MHz GPU, and a good PSU. If you decide to go with the 3800x, the extra $50 might be worth it depending on your needs. Which CPU would suit a Ryzen better, and how does the price difference compare to what you expect from the 3700x? Let me know your thoughts!
It seems you're experiencing some performance drops and occasional freezes. I've noticed others using newer Intel processors, especially the 1080 series, achieving better gaming results. If those chips could reach 4.6GHz, you'd likely stay satisfied until the Ryzen 4000 lineup arrives.
3800x is a fraudulent offer. Consider the 3700x alternative. If you plan to upgrade to 3900x or 3950x in the coming years, you might receive a solid sub-$200 motherboard such as the ASUS TUF X570 Plus. You'll need to update the BIOS on the X470 Gaming Plus for Ryzen 3000 compatibility.
