Hey everyone! I just made the jump from a 1660 Super to a 2080 Ti and I'm thrilled with the performance boost. However, I've started experiencing some stuttering, so I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU. Currently, I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600. What's the best CPU I can get within a $250 budget? I appreciate any advice!

Definitely consider the Ryzen 7 5700X if you can find it. Just ensure that you have a decent monitor too, as the 2080 Ti excels with higher resolutions.
With $250, you can even consider getting a Ryzen 7 5800X or 5800XT. These will maximize your AM4 setup and should keep you set for a while.
If you're looking for an upgrade, both the Ryzen 5 5600 and 5600X are solid choices. They’ll give you a nice performance boost and fit well within your budget.
Honestly, the Ryzen 5 3600 is a good match for the 2080 Ti, and many users have had a smooth experience with this combo. Make sure everything in your rig is running properly first! If you want to upgrade, the 5800XT is a great option without breaking the bank.
