I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from a Ryzen 2600X to a 5600X, and I currently have 16GB of 3200MHz RAM and an RTX 3060. I don't want to spend a fortune on AM5 or overpriced AM4 processors. I primarily play CS2 and I've concluded that the 5600X is my best option, as everything else seems too pricey. I found a new listing for the 5600X at 100 euros. Is that a good deal, or should I hold out for a better price?

Typically, a price between 80 and 100 euros is considered fair for the 5600X. It really comes down to how much that extra 20 euros means to you. If you're eager to upgrade, snagging it for 100 sounds like a solid choice!
Honestly, that's a pretty good deal! Upgrading to the 5600X is likely to give you a noticeable boost in your frame rates, so I say go for it!
For comparison, I paid around 130 euros for a 5700X brand new. So if the 5600X is indeed new for 100 euros, I’d say jump on it!
What would you say is the maximum you'd be willing to pay for a 5600X?
