Thank you very much for your help :)

sorry for the confusion, i made a typo hahaha

I asked about the 5700x cause the price seemed not too high and if i could get some more “future proofing” and cores for the right price i could get me to spend some 25€ more.

But if you say its not worth the money more i think i’ll stick to the 5600 or 5600X. :)

No no, i meant the R7 5700X.

Im asking just because if the 5700x is a good offer for 130€, i can get me to spend something more for some more power and cores for the future. If you think its not worth the money more and dont really need ill settle for the 5600x.

Cheapest 5600i could find from reliable seller comes at 105€ (including shipping), 5600x for 116€ and 5700x 140€. Which one should you think is best? Edit: maybe i can haggle for some 5600x or non x on vinted to try lowering the price to an 80ish euro, but dont know id risk buying used from private sellers. (Also they are crazy with prices, they try sell used for same or more than new)

I play all games at 1080p except CS which i play like lower 1000somethingx700something, and im 90% sure im held back by the cpu cause lowering further doesnt increase the fps (also i play almost settings at low so texture, models, effects ecc)

About my current cpu another comment said that the 2600 cant handle 3200mhz, i searched a bit and found other reddit posts that says the same about the difficulty of the 2600 on dual channel ram over 3200. At this point i just wait until the new cpu and when i update the bios ill crank the ram to 3200 when i got the new cpu.

About the gpu i’m pretty sure its not the problem cause im running a very low resolution and lowering even more doesnt improve the fps, also i lost some frames (20-25) when i enabled core isolation on windows security, so im 90% sure its a cpu thing, but i’ll try to check the utilization during CS just to be sure.

Yeah i think i’ll go for that 5700x, even though i will look meticously to find some x3d’s deals, that would be amazing (thought i think i’ll have to upgrade my hyper 212 cooler)

Thank you for your help :)

I’ll try what another comment said and look for the steam overlay option just to be sure, butyeah i think its not the gpu the problem. Thank you for your help :)

Thank you :) Yeah, i don’t have high demands so probably the CPU will give me the boost im looking for. And when i’ll have some money to spend and feel like the good ol 580 has done its job i’ll be happy to upgrade.

Btw it’s all Valve’s fault, it they kept with CSGO i would be rocking 220+ fps and everybody would be happier, greedy greedy corporations :/

I live in Europe so no Newegg :(

I tried to check usages today but Afterburner wasn’t working for Counter Strike. I read that is a common problem, if you know another way i could check stats tell me!

Tbh i don’t even know what FSR is hahah. But im 90% sure is a CPU problem as:

1)i play in an abysmal 1024x768 4:3 (and the fps are similar to when i played in 1920x1080, and going down further doesnt increase them either) 2) i got a 20-25 fps loss when defender asked me to activate core isolation, and i read that could cause a 10-15% loss

I didn’t had any idea it was incompatible! I tought it was the fact that i had to buy two separate sticks cause i did a mistake ordering and bought 1x16gb instead of 2x8 and had to buy another 16gb one (same brand, same mhz and CL speed obv) and that they didnt go well together. Hope that is as you say and a new CPU will hold the 3200mhz!

About the CPU for what i’ve seen in my superficial research for now, 5600 and 5600x are about the same price with no big differencies, both around the 100€. For the 5700x i asked cause i found one for just 15€ more and didn’t know if it makes sense to get it over the 5600x for this small of a difference, but i guess it can’t hurt right? Sadly i cant afford the x3d, even if i read that they’re much better :(

About the GPU, as i said to another comment i would prefer not to upgrade if not strictly necessary, as i don’t need to squeeze every fps out of the cpu. If just the CPU gets me to that desidered fps, and not upgrading the GPU doesnt destroy my sistem or worse the performance of it, i can wait a few years :)

I’ll prefer not to upgrade the GPU if its not absolutely necessary. I mean, if not upgrading it doesn’t worsen my performaces and with just the CPU i get to that desidered fps, i don’t care if i dont reach the max potential of the CPU, at least for now.

Im trying to save money and that GPU would be another 200ish €.

Thank you very much, very useful!

Oh, i get it. Thanks

Thank you very much :) i would go a bit higher with the hardware so he could have some more flexibility on the games he could play (and a bit more fps on cs2 haha) and also so the build could be a bit future proof. Do you think it could be upgraded easily in case of need? Or the case is too smal to fit gpu’s?

Hi! He’ll be ordering from Italy. Windows.

I think mainly getting fps now, but ill add for him that a bit of flexibility for future upgrades would be nice too. Thank you very much :)

800€ and integrated gpu? Wow, do gpu’s price went that up? I had the same budget for my pc and i managed to get an RX 580, not the very best but it does the job and at least its not integrated.

I dont get how, as europe, we still insist to follow every fucking step of that travesty of a country that is the united states. We have the resources to do everything on our own terms and we still do this blatant fucking ass licking of a warmongering bastard and his little fucking friends like israel.

We dont have the balls to stand up for anything even its blatant violation of international law, of which we pretend to be the biggest defenders. Yeah israel is aleays right and yet again another western violation of sovereignity is justified because iran has nuclear (which israel has since decades) but they would use it bad not like us, good and morally stable.
