The 5600 offers a more powerful upgrade path compared to the 3070, especially if you're aiming for better performance now. The 1600 remains a solid choice but may feel limited at this price point.

What model are you using right now? The 5600 offers similar performance to the 5600x, so I’d choose the more affordable option, typically the 5600.

The difference in performance is minimal, making it reasonable to choose the more affordable option.

I was planning to upgrade my B350-F gaming setup from ASUS later on.

Consensus reached. PBO doesn't match the 5600X's loudness compared to its siblings, but I still suggest a solid tower cooler such as the Scythe Mugen or Fuma. Updated September 9, 2022 by An0maly_76 Additional details

Between them, it doesn't matter much; just take the cheaper option. The performance is almost identical.
