I'm looking to upgrade my PC since I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 5600G with an RX 9060XT 8GB on a B550M-PRO motherboard. Since I've been using integrated graphics, I think it's time to make the jump to a dedicated CPU. I'm considering the R7 5700X3D and the R7 5800XT. In my country, there's about a $45 price difference in favor of the 5800XT. I'd love to hear your recommendations, especially since I also have a 650W power supply.

If the R7 5700X3D is just $45 more, go for it! It’s definitely going to offer a way better gaming experience thanks to its x3D cache.
Are you mainly playing high FPS shooters? Also, what’s the price difference for a 5600 or 5600X compared to the 5700X3D in your area?
There's about a $100 difference, and I typically play shooters since I have a 240Hz monitor. My current CPU is starting to struggle with CPU-intensive games.
