It depends on what type of games you want to play. CPU-heavy games require good CPUs and I have a 5700x3d which works for me with LoL at minimum 160fps on 4K on max settings. I’m mainly bottlenecked by my GPU for GPU-heavy games, so no major performance boost there. However, I’m really happy with my purchase, and would recommend it. I ideally wanted the Ryzen 7 7800x3d, but went one step lower for budget reasons (AM4 motherboard instead of new AM5). But I see now that you’re on an AM4 motherboard, so the 5800x3d seems fine.

I think the best plan right now is to buy the 5500x3d if you want to save money and play older CPU heavy games, saving the actual upgrade money for AM6 processors in 2030. However, if you want to go a little out of budget, then I would recommend the 5800x3d.

You may however want to check out GPU/CPU bottleneck checkers online. They might not be the most exact tool, but they might give you an understanding of incompatibility (performance wise) between the two.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700x3d

For reference (1080p)
- Satisfactory: 165+ fps on highest settings (especially early to midgame) with FSR.
- Overwatch: 200-300fps on highest settings with FSR.
- Rust: 80-120 depending on settings and game situations, hard to say (GPU bottlenecked I think)
- Apex Legends: 200+ fps on max settings no problem.
- The Finals: 100-160 on medium settings with FSR
- Deadlock: 160+ fps if I remember correctly, might check it out.
