Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading from my Ryzen 7 5700X to a newer CPU like the 7600, 7600X, 7700, or even 9600X. The total cost for an AM5 setup would be around $400, but I plan to sell my current setup—including the 5700X, B450M motherboard, and 32GB of RAM—for about $220. This leaves me with an additional $180+. Do you think this upgrade is worth it now, or should I hold off for a few years until the AM6 platform comes out, hoping the prices might drop? Here's a quick breakdown of the prices I'm looking at: 7500F for $140, 7600 for $177, 7600X for $190, 7700 for $213, and 9600X at $213. Thanks for your input!

Are you feeling dissatisfied with your current setup? If you’re mainly playing games like Valorant and finding that your performance dips below 200 FPS, you might want to consider the upgrade. It could make a noticeable difference! Most people would suggest going for the 7600X or the 7600, depending on what else you have in your rig.
If your main focus is getting better FPS in Valorant, I'd recommend sticking with the 7600 or 7600X. Between the 9600X and the 7700, they’re pretty close, but if you’re mostly playing tactical shooters, go for the 9600X. If you plan to multitask or want extra cores for future games, the 7700 is a solid choice. Just remember to upgrade your motherboard to B650 or higher for better future-proofing!
