I'm currently gaming on a setup with two 1080p monitors, 24GB of 3200MHz RAM, and an RTX 3060 12GB. I've been struggling with lower than 60 FPS in games that people say are CPU-intensive, like Helldivers 2 and Space Marines 2, even when I crank down the settings to the lowest. I found some good deals on the 5700x, with the x3d version only $90 more. Would upgrading to one of these CPUs make a noticeable difference in my gaming performance?

If you're looking at the performance difference, between a 3700x and 5700x, you might see around a 10-20% boost in FPS, especially if your graphics settings let the CPU do more work. The x3d would deliver even more performance, so I'd recommend going for that version if you can.
Also, quick tip: how's your RAM set up? Since you have 24GB, double-check if your DIMM layout is optimized. Ryzen really benefits from well-tuned and faster RAM, so consider that in your upgrade.
Absolutely, upgrading to the x3d would be a solid choice. It typically offers better performance in CPU-limited scenarios, making it worth the extra $90.
What do you mean by optimized RAM setup? Could that help with performance?
