I removed my CPU recently and discovered a few pins were bent. After attempting repairs, my PC now crashes during gaming sessions. I’m considering replacing it and need a budget-friendly option under 200 euros that works well with an RX6800XT GPU.

Because it's an AMD CPU with pins, they stayed straight during installation—otherwise the chip wouldn't have fit at all. Pins bending could have prevented proper placement from the start. It might have happened while you were taking it out, but it’s something anyone can experience. I fixed the pins, reinserted it, and everything worked fine. A 5700X would be a solid option.

I also support the R7 5700X. Look for opportunities on a 5900X or 5950X, possibly used elsewhere. Also, avoid bending the pins again.
