I'm putting together a white PC with a budget of around €1500, and I need some help choosing the right CPU. My options are the 7800X3D priced at €330, the 9700X for €280, and the 9600X at €200. I've heard that these CPUs have similar performance, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

What are you planning to use your PC for mainly? Knowing your primary use can help in making the best CPU choice.
Honestly, anyone saying those CPUs are similar doesn't really know what they're talking about. The 7800X3D really outperforms the others by a good margin, especially for gaming.
Yeah, but just keep in mind that the 7800X3D sort of pushes your budget a bit higher than expected.
Mostly gaming, that's my main focus.
