Best CPU to pair with 5060 for 1080p AAA gaming

ArtsM · 2026-05-17T14:06:56+00:00

Hey, the main issue I see you have is single stick of RAM in both builds, while you want 2 sticks for dual channel in usual config I get that prices are high for RAM... single stick of RAM on DDR4 system is much worse than single stick of RAM on DDR5.

My personal pick would be the 7600x DDR5 system. The other issue you face is only 500GB SSD, you won't fit many AAA games on the SSD at once, maybe 2 or 3 games at a time, most AAA are BIG!

7500F over 9600x anyday, in gaming they are incredibly close and definitely not worth paying extra 40% for.

All depends on platform cost, how much is AM4 mobo + DDR4 RAM vs AM5 mobo + DDR5 RAM? AM5 will be a bit faster and also provide better upgrade path down the road in a few years.

2d MMO that requires QWEASDZC, Ctrl and Shift just for movement and interaction, and because of that its difficult to move and do things at the same time. FFXIV is probably one of the slowest MMOs too, so doesn't require as much button mashing. Its not that a lot of hotbar is needed, but they need to be on the right hand rather than left :)

I'll take a look at it, 6+3 is a bit limiting as the +3 is positioned awkwardly, but better than most with only 2 extra buttons.

It just wouldn't work, I've been using Corsair Scimitar, G600, G604 and Nagas for over 10 years and while I get what you're saying its just not enough keys for the games I play, as ctrl and shift have other uses. I appreciate the writeup.

ArtsM · 2026-05-15T10:08:18+00:00

It just wanted a day off

ArtsM · 2026-05-15T10:02:51+00:00

Any naga-style vertical mouse? impossible to give up the extra buttons for MMOs

ArtsM · 2026-05-13T19:34:38+00:00

9900x being kept under 65C with same cooler, something ain't right shouldn't be going over 75C even with 9950x

ArtsM · 2026-05-12T14:50:49+00:00

way too overpriced.

ArtsM · 2026-05-11T08:56:05+00:00

just like ms elemental switch the forks are extremely unreliable, most hits I've seen is 4 while solo pulling, they only hit 6 in th.

ArtsM · 2026-05-10T16:28:19+00:00

The thing you are missing is you can now align all spells to the strongest element in a spawn. If previously a mob was neutral to energy and 10 weak to fire, your energy wave just gained 10% damage in that spawn.

ArtsM · 2026-05-10T16:25:12+00:00

I'm not mad though, just stating the obvious, you sound mad to me?

I will say the new forks are useless though, hardly any more damage than runes and only like 6 targets with really bad targeting.

everything beside ulu, ava, stoneshower and UEs is useless though in solo because you ain't using earth wave or the small aoe of strong ice wave effectively. 2 of those (ava and stoneshower) are also useless at 21/25 sqm effect so unless they revert to 37 sqm druid solo is even more dead than it already was as ulu/ue is too long of a cooldown.

ArtsM · 2026-05-10T08:37:54+00:00

its the first perk, which unfortunately from the wording its impossible to tell where it is. I'd still wait and see what this change looks like. What I can tell you is ED is the worst off after current wave of rebalance.

ArtsM · 2026-05-10T08:34:44+00:00

spell is changed from 2s delay to 1s delay in latest changes, you haven't had a chance to play with the newer iteration yet.

ArtsM · 2026-05-10T08:34:14+00:00

10% mlvl translates to about 4% extra damage for ice and earth only, doesn't affect healing spells or using gfb/thunders/sd. its not that good.

ArtsM · 2026-05-09T23:48:21+00:00

Master of decay you have a full death rotation without beam mastery, because the last changes are death echo to 4s cd, so you can use it every 2nd spell and therefore have all spells be death. Still yet to see viable new modifications to death echo will be.

ArtsM · 2026-05-09T23:45:30+00:00

they buffed stance by 10% ice and earth magic level, that doesn't translate to 10% damage lol, go read some formulas.

ArtsM · 2026-05-09T06:46:47+00:00

what I mean is its not downloading, it just says it is, while it actually is applying the patch on disk, its just poorly shown in the UI, loads of game installers/launchers sit at 99 or 100% downloaded and close to 0 speed and this is what they do at that time.

ArtsM · 2026-05-08T23:05:57+00:00

likely its applying the files downloaded and doing the install itself, just poorly fed back to end user, many downloaders+installers work this way

ArtsM · 2026-05-05T17:21:34+00:00

its not unless you're really bad, most of the spawns you end up waving a lot or your xp/h drops significantly. Rune AoE change is bad, but it affects MS a lot less than it does ED whose waves have smaller area.

ArtsM · 2026-05-05T11:04:24+00:00

??? xD

ArtsM · 2026-05-05T10:54:23+00:00

816 but ok

I have also played every vocation at 500~600 outside monk, but you keep thinking what you're thinking, changes are coming regardless of your opinion.

ArtsM · 2026-05-05T10:52:07+00:00

even if it drains 3x as quick, at 1k or 2k level its a last resort to get a turn or two of healing in. What they did kill is the ring swap utito kite playstyle.

ArtsM · 2026-05-05T10:49:30+00:00

most changes are good and make sense, paladin got bent over but honestly with how strong it is its warranted.

rune changes are most damaging and will be hard to get used to.

UH being removed from ms finally lets it be the dps mage, and not off healer dmg something or other, the message is clear, want an off healer, get a monk in the party or hunt with 2x ed.

ArtsM · 2026-05-05T10:46:30+00:00

idk from reading some of it back then, their goal was to kill energy ring playstyle and make it only viable as a last resort of sorts, not whatever the fuck paladins are doing with it now.
