Considering AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Ryzen 5 5600X, I intend to use this machine for gaming, streaming, and some video editing. Planned titles include Minecraft, Valorant, and Apex Legends. Editing will be handled with Premiere Pro. The setup pairs the CPU with a Nvidia 3060ti and 3600mhz RAM.

For gaming, the 5600x looks ideal, while for video editing the 3700x offers a better fit. Either choice works well.

Retrieve the 3700X model. It won’t gain much from Zen 3’s increased IPC, though adding two more cores will prove useful later.

For gaming, use 5600x and for processing, 3700x. Balance your needs—choose the more affordable one if they’re equal in importance.
