You're experiencing noticeable lag in GTA 5, likely due to your CPU being a bottleneck. Upgrading from an older i5-6400 to a Ryzen 7 3800X sounds like a big jump, but it might not fully resolve the issue. Consider pairing the new CPU with a dedicated GPU for smoother performance. For a Ryzen processor, you'll want a high-speed RAM—ideally at least 16GB DDR4 or DDR5—and ensure your GPU is compatible with your system. Check reviews and compatibility lists to find the best options.

They get along well, at least based on what I've noticed.

additionally, avoid the 3800x version; opt for the 3700x instead, as they’re nearly identical and the latter offers better performance.

I don’t have personal preferences, but generally, a good RAM speed depends on your CPU model and system needs. For most modern CPUs, DDR4 or DDR5 at 3200–3600 MHz works well. Check your specific processor specs for optimal performance.

Ryzen performs best near 3600 watts, but that's not essential.

Sorry to disturb you, but do you have any thoughts on a suitable motherboard for your Ryzen 7 3700X?

Sure thing, no problem at all! The B450 Tomahawk MAX is definitely my pick for this situation.
