Hey everyone! I'm building my first gaming PC and I'm considering pairing a 5070TI graphics card with a Ryzen 5 7600X processor. However, I've also been looking at the 7800X3D because I've heard it's faster and generally better for gaming. The catch is that there's a €200 difference in price. Do you think the performance increase from the 7800X3D justifies the extra cost?

I've used both CPUs and they're both solid choices. Unless you're aiming for super high frame rates, I’d recommend sticking with the 7600X to save some cash for more games or even towards a future GPU upgrade, like the 5080.
I didn’t consider the 5080 option because I thought it’d be way more expensive than 200 euros. Saving on the CPU makes sense though; thanks for the tip!
