Looking for a CPU upgrade while staying within a budget of around $300 to $400. Your current setup includes a Ryzen 5 3600 and an MSI X570 motherboard, with a 360 mm AIO for cooling. You're not concerned about overheating. The goal is a logical step without overspending.

Any reason to upgrade? If all the things you use your pc for runs fine then i dont see a reason to upgrade cpu, if you still wanna upgrade cpu then go for a 5900x just for futureproofing sake

It's not just about using a lot of EFT, and the game isn't running smoothly because it's too CPU-intensive.

Activate pBO and allow the system to automatically boost your CPU speed. RAM overclocking can also improve performance, though results depend on your motherboard quality and whether your RAM sticks perform well with brands like Hynix, Micron, or Samsung.

I'll test PBO and the RAM should be an XPG Spectrix D41. It might not perform well. I'll get Corsair Dominator soon.

They're too expensive, almost making them worthless even with a deep discount. Go for 4400 cl19 viper steel instead—it's cheaper and offers an RGB alternative like Ballistix RGB 3200 cl16. Before deciding, test how far you can push your CPU's clock speed; if it stalls, consider the trade-offs. B die works well for both sync and desync clocks because they improve timing enough to maintain solid performance. Ballistix isn't as precise but is much cheaper, making them suitable for high-speed runs around 5000MHz where timing can be adjusted. Always verify your RAM model with the burner—some Spectrix D41 chips come pre-installed with B die.
