I'm new to building PCs and have settled on using a 5060 for my GPU. I'm trying to decide between an Intel or Ryzen processor that would be best for general use and gaming. Any suggestions?

If budget isn't a concern, the Ryzen 9800X3D or 9950X3D would be awesome options!
Honestly, in 2025, you won't regret going with Ryzen. Consider the 7500F, 7600, or 7600X—whichever is cheaper is a solid choice for long-term use.
