I'm looking for the best AM4 processor I can get for gaming, particularly since I can't find a reasonably priced 5700 or 5800X3D in my country. I'm considering the Ryzen 9 5900X, which is around $300 here. My current setup includes an RX 6750 XT GPU and G.Skill DDR4-3600 RAM with 32GB. Any suggestions or advice on other good options?

For your RX 6750 XT, I'd recommend looking at the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X for value, or the Ryzen 7 5700X if the price difference is minor. The 5900X offers extra cores, but it might not give you the best gaming experience with that GPU since it’s more beneficial for productivity tasks. Consider the gaming focus when deciding!
Since the 5700X is only about $150 in your case, it might be a better choice for gaming performance, especially if you're currently experiencing FPS dips in games like Darktide. It’ll handle those hordes better than a 3600!
