I'm considering picking up the Ryzen 5 9600X for around $180 on Amazon. My setup includes a Steel Legend 9060 XT with 16GB of RAM. I'm planning to stream and play games like Fortnite, as well as some GameCube emulators. Would the Ryzen 5 9600X be a smart purchase for this setup? Should I go ahead and buy it?

More cores could benefit you in terms of streaming, especially if you're multitasking while gaming. Consider options like the Ryzen 7 for better performance if it's within your budget.
If you're adding an SSD, check Newegg; it's $189 there, and they’re offering a free m.2 SSD with it right now. It could be a great deal!
Definitely go for it! The Ryzen 5 9600X is a solid CPU and should handle your gaming and streaming needs pretty well at that price point.
