I'm hessitant to buy a Ryzren 7 5700x3d

So I have a Gigabyte B550 mb and I was hoping to pair it with a 5700G or 5700x.

In my search I found a 5700x3d, I know they are hard to find nowadays but are a great alternative to a 5800x3d. Thing is it's almost twice the price of the 5700x

It would be a HUGE upgrade from the current core i7 7700, but it would still be a sizeable upgrade with a 5700X

It's clear I'm no getting anywhere near twice the performance choosing between a 5700X and a 5700X3D for almost twice the price.

On a side note I'd still have to get a separate cooler for the X3D

Not posting prices as its outside the US.

Thoughts?
 
It would make sense if you have a GPU worth pushing and are actually going to game on it.

Otherwise, probably not worth the squeeze for general desktop use?

It's an RTX 3070Ti, considering getting a 4070Ti super

Gaming @1440p and maybe some 4k in the future. (not with current games of course).
 
If that's how you're equipping it and how you plan to run it then there's no better CPU for the socket - by far

I agree that the 5700X3d is way better than the 5700X, but paying close to twice as much? not sure about that.

To make matters worse I'm getting a great deal on the 5700X, which only makes the price difference bigger.

To put it into perspective it's like getting the 5700X for a little over $160 vs close to $300 for the 5700X3d.

I think I better put what I save toward the 4070Ti Super.

I agree that the pricing is a bit off, but it isn't unwarranted for your usecase IMO.
 
If you phrase it as 5700X and 4070Ti, or 5700x3d and 3070Ti.. I would do the former.

Yeah, the 3d is a better CPU. But in either build case, not a whole lot is going to be CPU bound.
 
Thing is I'm already making big gains from where I am now, I think I can spare an extra 20% or so performance.
 
X3D is all about frametime consistency - making the 'gains' you have smooth, etc. IMO it's worth it on any dedicated gaming build, absent something stupendously CPU light.
