I'm currently running a Ryzen 7 3700X with an RTX 3060 Ti, and I'm curious if the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D or the 5800X3D would be a better upgrade for my gaming setup, especially since my frame rates in games like Valorant, Overwatch, Minecraft, and Apex Legends have been a bit inconsistent lately. I don't need to upgrade immediately, but I'd like to plan ahead. Is the boost from the 3700X worth the investment of around $300 for the 5700X3D, or should I consider other options? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

I’m not sure where you're seeing a 5700X3D for $200, but I doubt it’s USD. If it’s around that price, it might be listed wrong. Just be sure to keep an eye on the current market prices — it’s changing fast!
Honestly, you'll have a tough time finding the 5700X3D for under $300 right now. If you're looking to upgrade without breaking the bank, you could also consider moving to AM5 or snagging a 5700X for around $150. It would still give a noticeable performance boost without costing too much!
I’d say if you can spare the $300, the 5700X3D is a solid choice and will likely improve your gaming experience.

Yeah, it's definitely not easy to find it for that low, especially not in USD or AUD. Keep checking various retailers!
