In Sweden, the R5 5600X costs $100 more than the R5 3600. Does that make it worthwhile? You just bought a new AM4 motherboard and are looking at the options.

No, don't purchase outdated hardware at its original price unless it's a graphics card. Otherwise, all functionality will cease.

Opt for the latest CPU model. 3600 works well, but 5600X offers superior performance. I own a 3600X and am eager for a 6000 series CPU and motherboard.

I started with a 3600XT for the advertised price, aiming for a Vermeer. When they weren't in stock, I found another one and have been using it ever since. Now everything feels much better with Zen3.

It really depends on the GPU model and its intended purpose.

That graphics card offers impressive performance, making the 5600X a better choice than the 3600.

It's also significantly quicker, making it worthwhile unless you absolutely require the full version!
