Hey everyone! I'm trying to optimize my PC build for a good balance between graphics and minimal lag. I'm deciding between the Ryzen 5 7600X and the Ryzen 5 5600X to complement my GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7600 XT GPU. Which one would be better? Also, if I go for the Ryzen 5 7600X, can I use it with the MSI B550-A PRO motherboard? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Both CPUs are solid choices and neither will bottleneck your GPU. However, the Ryzen 5 7600X is the newer model and offers better performance. Keep in mind that it's on the AM5 platform, so you'd need a new motherboard and RAM to move from your current AM4 setup. Are you planning to upgrade your whole system?
I don't have the motherboard yet, just trying to figure out a good build, so I'm open to recommendations!
