I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 1400 and I'm looking to upgrade to a used CPU. I found a Ryzen 5 5600X for around $100, but there's also a 5700X available for just $30 more. I want to make a decision quickly before someone else grabs the 5700X. I have a 5600XT GPU and I'm planning to upgrade it soon to prevent any bottlenecks. I mostly play less demanding games like Roblox, Minecraft, Valorant, and CS2, so I've checked out some benchmarks online to understand the performance differences. What's the best route for me?

It really depends on your motherboard, but if the price difference is just $30, go for the 5700X. Those extra cores can be helpful, and it's rarely a bad idea to have a bit more power.
Honestly, the performance difference between the 5600 and 5700 isn’t huge. If you're looking to save some cash, the 5600X is your best bet since it offers similar performance for less.
I have a B450m AC R 2.0 board with 16GB of RAM, so I should be good to go, right?
