What CPU should I have?
Consider your options carefully—Ryzen 5600X or 5800X?—and aim for smooth streaming with minimal performance loss.
In terms of streaming, the RTX 3070 outperforms the 2080 Ti while the Ryzen 7 5800X edges out the i9-10900k in many situations. The 5800X is generally more accessible than the 5600X due to higher demand. The 3070 is also quite difficult to secure. The main concern for streaming would be your internet speed.
If you locate and can buy a 5800X, proceed with confidence—it's not as weak as the 5600X. Remember, AMD chips lack built-in graphics, so you'll require a dedicated GPU to make the system work.
It's important to note that once the supply issue resolves, the 5800X should probably drop to about $100, as reported by Gamers Nexus.
The Ryzen 5600X is priced at £268, which is the lowest I've ever seen it—usually around £300. Should I keep the extra cash for something else?
To secure the top position, focus on obtaining the better option while ensuring the remaining elements remain solid.
