Is it worth upgrading from a 5600G to a 5700X for $100 if I have a 6750XT?

Hey folks, I'm mainly into playing WoW, browsing, and using my PC for HTPC tasks. I'm considering a $100 upgrade from a 5600G to a 5700X. Normally, I wouldn't think about it, but the price is tempting. Plus, I don't plan on upgrading my whole PC until AM6 hits around 2027. Do you think this upgrade is worth it?

You might want to consider if you'd prefer the 5700X3D instead, which can often be found for around $200. It’s a bigger upgrade and you’ll notice the difference in games like WoW due to the extra cache. Just something to think about!

I think it’s a solid upgrade! The 5600G performs closer to a 5500, so moving up to the 5700X will give you a noticeable boost, especially with your 6750XT. A buddy of mine made a similar jump and saw about a 20% increase in FPS across several games. Definitely worth the $100 in my opinion!

Yeah, for $100, I say go for it. That’s a pretty good deal for the upgrade you’ll get. Plus, the performance improvements will definitely make a difference in your gaming experience.

Yes, definitely! Especially if you could sell your 5600G; that would help offset the cost and make the upgrade feel even more worthwhile.

Absolutely! Just keep in mind that the 5700X doesn’t come with a cooler, so check if your current one will suffice. But at that price, it’s definitely worth it for the performance boost.
