I'm trying to decide between the 7600X3D and the 7700X for my gaming setup. I mainly play Fortnite, CS2, Marvel Rivals, and Valorant. Which CPU do you think would perform better for these specific games?

I'd go with the 7600X3D. The additional cores of the 7700X won't make much of a difference in the games you mentioned. The cache boost from the X3D will help you more, especially for esports titles.
If you're all about fast-paced games, the 7600X3D definitely has the edge. Both CPUs are good, but for gaming, especially with the ones you mentioned, the X3D is the better choice without a doubt.
Most folks seem to lean towards the 7600X3D for those titles! The extra cache really helps with performance in games that rely heavily on single-core speeds.
Thanks for the input! I'm currently on a 5600X and running an RTX 3060 at 1080p low settings. Should I focus on getting the 7600X3D now, or would it make more sense to upgrade my GPU first?
