I recently scored a great deal on a pre-built desktop with an RTX 3080 and a Ryzen 5800X CPU. Now that I'm gaming, I've noticed that my laptop, which has an Intel Core i7-13700H, seems to outshine my desktop in performance, especially in games like Fortnite. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to something that will perform better than my current setup. What would you suggest as the best options for an upgrade?

While you might be tempted to upgrade your CPU, I'd suggest that most gaming performance relies heavily on the GPU, so a GPU upgrade could yield better results. But if you’re set on upgrading your CPU, consider the Ryzen 5700X3D or 5800X3D. Just a heads-up, don't forget to update your BIOS before making any changes!
BIOS update? Oh, wow, I definitely need to brush up on that! I just got my desktop after a year with a laptop that doesn't offer these updates.
