I've got an EVGA 3090 FTW3 Hybrid now. With AMD CPUs becoming more available, I'm deciding which one fits my needs. Mostly for 4K gaming, not streaming or content creation. I'm considering the 5800X but still unsure if it's a good match. My board is an X570 with 32GB of 3600MHz RAM.

Only two matches with a slight change are 2077 and MSFS, that should be okay

A 3090 nearly costs $2000 and pairs well with a 5800x, a $450 CPU. Wouldn't it be better to opt for a top-tier CPU like the 5900x or 5950x if you can spare that amount? If you have $2000, you're free to upgrade to one of those models too.

Most CPUs will slow down a 3090, so choosing cheaper options makes things worse. You really need the top-tier processor to make sense. It does limit your choices significantly.

Since then he might have been able to purchase a 3080 without a high-end CPU, though just overlook that point lol.

Here a thought for you guys, Ryzen 9 5900x = $539 RTX 3080 = $900 Total = $1439 Ryzen 7 5800x = $450 RTX 3090 = $2000 Total = $2450 He waste $1000 one the 3090 part with 5800x and its unbalanced build.

Absolutely, it makes sense to avoid heavy CPU usage when working with 4K content.

Cyberpunk, The Medium, Valheim, Ark, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Outriders, Halo Infinite(single player only not a FPS PvP guy lol)... Let's cut to the chase. Most Xbox exclusives are launching this year. I'll be playing on PC since I'm not rushing for a Series X and I doubt I'll wait much longer. I'm aiming to stay ahead for 5, 6, and 8 years so I can enjoy 4K gaming at top settings on upcoming titles.
