Hey everyone! I'm currently shopping for a new PC and I've narrowed it down to two CPUs that are only about $20 apart in price: the AMD Ryzen 5 9600 and the 7600X3D. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which one would be a better choice.

If you're primarily gaming, I’d definitely recommend going for the 7600X3D. It has better performance when it comes to gaming, thanks to its enhanced architecture.
I'd say go with the 7600X3D too. It's a solid option with great performance metrics for the price.
I have the Ryzen 5 9600, and while it performs well, having just 6 cores feels a bit limiting. If you can swing it, definitely opt for the X3D for better future-proofing.
But just so you know, the 7600X3D also has 6 cores. It’s not just about the core count; the architecture plays a big role too!
