I've recently upgraded from a 3060 Ti to a 5070, and now I'm noticing that some of my CPU cores are maxing out at 100%, which is limiting my gaming performance. I found someone who is willing to sell a used 5800X3D for £250 as part of a deal with a 5600X. Given the current rarity of the 5800X3D, is this a good price?

You're looking at about £350 for the 5800X3D. Honestly, it's in line with current market prices, but it’s a bit steep for a used unit. The 5800X3D usually outperforms the 5600X by 15-20%, but it isn’t a game-changer unless you're playing CPU-heavy games.
So, if you're looking at a total of around £350 to £400 for both, it really depends on the condition. Is it new or used? That can make a big difference in value.
Yeah, with CPU-limited games, the difference can really show. Any tips on where to find a better price for this chip?
