Hey everyone! I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU from the Intel i5-10400F (2.9GHz) while using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 and an MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus motherboard. I'm pretty new to gaming components and I'm not exactly sure what works well together. Can someone break down the benefits I'd see by switching to either the AMD Ryzen 7 or 9 800X3D? What kind of performance improvements can I expect, especially during gaming?

Upgrading to a Ryzen CPU could give you a noticeable performance boost, especially in games that are optimized for multi-threading. You might see higher frame rates, which means smoother gameplay overall. It really depends on the game you’re playing, but many users report improvements in the range of 15-30 FPS, so it’s worth considering if you want a better experience!
That sounds great! But are there games that particularly benefit from the Ryzen’s architecture? I don't want to invest and see minimal improvement.
