I'm trying to figure out whether the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X or the 7700X is the better choice for gaming, especially in titles like Fortnite and Valorant. I'm also curious about the overall value of each option since there's about a $50 difference in price. Can anyone provide insights on raw performance and cost-effectiveness?

The performance really depends on the specific game. Generally, the difference is less than 3%, so it varies by title.
If you're gaming primarily, then the 9600X is the way to go. But for tasks that need more cores, like content creation or heavy workloads, the 7700X is better suited.
Don't sleep on the 7700 non-X either; it's a solid choice for gaming and can save you some bucks while still performing well.
From what I've seen, these two CPUs perform pretty similarly. They’re almost neck and neck in terms of raw performance. My suggestion? Just go for the cheaper option available!
