Hi, your friend is considering staying on AM4 for budget reasons and is interested in a Ryzen 7 5800X with a B580 chip. It’s worth noting the B580 has known CPU compatibility concerns. Yes, it can work with the B580, though some users report stability issues at higher resolutions like 1080p. Those problems may stem from driver limitations or card defects rather than just the chip itself.
He currently uses a mid-range CPU. For better performance without extra overhead, reallocating the budget to a GPU would be a smarter move.
The 5060 costs around €320, while the 4060 is near €310. The Rx 7600 is at €260, Rx 7600xt 16gb at €330 and B580 at €270. With a budget up to €450 and a desire for more RAM if needed, the 5060 seems reasonable but may not offer enough VRAM compared to higher-end options.
The 9060xt 16GB model exceeds €400, leaving options between the 7600xt 16GB and B580 for higher VRAM. Are you using 1080p? If yes, the 5800x seems sufficient.
