Possible to enhance from Ryzen 3600 to Ryzen 5600X?
You're questioning whether upgrading your Ryzen 5 3600 is a good move, especially after only a month of use. If you were to switch, you'd need to sell the current CPU and accept a $40 loss—considering it as rent rather than ownership. Many reviews show noticeable performance gains, often between 20 to 40 FPS jumps in 1440p, especially with a RTX 2080. It seems like a reasonable choice given your setup.
Unless you have a lot of cash to spend, I wouldn't go for an upgrade. The 3600 remains a solid gaming CPU at 1440p. There are whispers about a $220 5600 (non-x) arriving in a few months, so if that happens I'd hold it until it's available and then consider upgrading.
The difference wouldn't be obvious on that resolution and GPU unless you're playing low settings in competitive games. Still, trading a 3600 for a 5600 offers a good deal—about 40 dollars, which is a solid offer. Personally, I'd take it, since in my area the equivalent swap would cost around 240 dollars.
It's not just about paying an extra 40 dollars for the 5600X. He'd actually lose 40 dollars on the 3600 purchase, plus he'd have to cover the gap between the 3600 and the 5600X price. For him, it would feel like a 150 dollar jump to reach the 5600X. If you're just playing around, upgrading won't be worthwhile—you won't see much improvement for the cost.
I’d suggest retaining this advice and using it as a reminder to conduct some simple research before purchasing tech products. It was clearly understood that new releases from Ryzens would appear in the fall, and an upgrade wouldn’t really apply in your case.
Hahahah yes that exactly what I meant. ohh hmm then I guess u shouldn't upgrade.. thanks alot!!!
