Simple question; is it worthwhile buying a 5800X3D if I have a X470 Asus Prime Mobo. The PC is mostly used for gaming.
I just purchased one off Newegg (i just happened to look on newegg 2 days ago). They had a bonus promo code discount (expires March 30) so the total cost was around 385 CAD with tax and free shipping. That's the lowest I've ever seen it go for. Gonna be a nice upgrade over my Ryzen 5 2600X lol.Yes, 100%. That CPU rocks and is totally worth it. I'm just waiting to catch a good sale and I'll be upgrading from my 5800X
Any new CPU upgrade after was going to need a new platform so i figured i'd just max this out completely. I'd just need to pop in a new GPU down the line and get closer to its performance potential, and THEN i may look into a complete system overhaul.....This setup is probably gonna last me far longer than my Phenom II X4 955 did.I'm not surprised, even upgrading to a regular 5xxx cpu would have been a huge upgrade.
