I use the PC mainly for gaming and sometimes for video editing using a 24 inch full HD monitor. Can you advice me a newer cpu? I am undecided between 5800x3d and 5700x3d. thank you
For the performance difference to price, I would go with the 5700x3d and save the money towards a future graphics upgrade.

Sorry if I take advantage of the thread. I would also be interested in upgrading the PC while remaining on the AMD CPU.
Here are the features of my current PC:

CPU: Ryzen 3700x cooled with an arctic freezer duo esport 34
Motherboard: Asus x570 TUF-Plus wifi
RAM: 32GB DDR4 Crucial 3600MHz
Video Card: Radeon RX 6700XT
SSD: Crucial mx500
Power supply: Corsair tx750m

I use the PC mainly for gaming and sometimes for video editing using a 24 inch full HD monitor. Can you advice me a newer cpu? I am undecided between 5800x3d and 5700x3d. thank you
Not a problem!

Feel free to use the thread.

For me, playing at 1080p and 2K resolutions just above 60 fps are fine, but I was thinking maybe getting a 50 inches 4K TV (took I look at the LG UHD UR8750 last week).
1080p or 1440p upscaled to 4K looks fine on a 4K TV from a distance.

5800 oem if it can be found for the right price
Yeah but they're in Brasil. The market is very different in that country than the rest of the world.

Nice!

So the upgrade would look like this:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3.0 GHz 8-Core Processor ($241 USD)
CPU Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID P240 78.73 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($75.98 USD)
Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard ($199.99 USD)
Memory: keep what I have
Storage: keep what I have
Video Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB Video Card ($437.36 USD)
Case: keep what I have
Power Supply: MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($119.99 USD)
OS: keep what I have
Monitor: change to TV - Smart TV 50" 4K LG UHD ThinQ AI 50UR8750PSA HDR Bluetooth Alexa Google Assistente Airplay2 3 HDMI Game Mode
Oh, I missed this post! Sorry about that.

Ok, let's break this down;
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor. This will serve your needs and then some, even on CPU heavy games.

CPU Cooler: Go with a good air cooler for half the cost. You don't need liquid cooling for AM4 95W CPUs.

Motherboard: Keep the one you've got in your specs. No, it's not high end, but it not crap either. Update the BIOS on that board and you're good to go. At the most, bump up to a B450 based board.

Memory: keep what I have // Good idea!
Storage: keep what I have

Video Card: Radeon RX 7800XT minimum. Trust on this one. Don't skimp on the GPU.

Case: keep what I have // Again, good idea.

Power Supply: The one in your specs is a solid model PSU. Unless it's having issues, stay with what you have.

Monitor: change to TV - Smart TV 50" 4K // Oh dear god no! Trust me on this one, anything above 32" is going to give you issues. And do skip the "Smart TV" nonsense. Get yourself a good quality 32" 4k display, set your Windows scaling to 175% and enjoy.

sits on PCIe 3.0 x16 slot.
This is not the problem that most people think it is. Even a 4090 can't saturate the PCIe3.0 bus(testing here on TPU proved that), so anything else will not be a problem. Not to worry.

I also found an RX 6800 XT ASRock Phantom Gaming edition priced at $260 USD more than the Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7700 XT.
6800XT is a good card, but the 7800XT is worth the extra money in every way.

In 2021 I got the 5800 from ebay, it was pulled from a dell rig, unfortunately the seller was trying to be deceptive claiming it was a 5800x at the time, when I provided undeniable evidence it was not I got 100 USD back out of $362. It's been fine in the ex's rig. And Yes I had it tested at microcenter before I ever attempted to run it myself.

Sell the rig you got & it will aid in upgrading to AM5 is my view on this. IF your going to upgrade the platform then upgrade to latest socket & enjoy superior performance per watt.

Thanks!

Well, here in Brazil the RX 7700 XT is around $620 USD and the RX 7800 XT is around $880 USD (both Sapphire editions).

I think the CPU is the hardest to choose (the CPU is pretty much defined).

Alright about the motherboard (you were not the first to point me in the direction of keeping the one I already have - my doubt concerned exclusively the PCIe bus). I will keep the one I have, then.

So.. To the monitor. The one I have is OK by all means. It is an LG Ultrawide 26" Full HD 2560x1080p 1ms IPS 75Hz AMD Freesync, as stated in my specs. I think naturally for me the next step is to have something with 2K or 4K resolution and because of the prices the TV looks like a better deal here in Brazil. For example, Smart TV 50" 4K LG UHD ThinQ AI 50UR8750PSA costs around $395 USD and an UHD Samsung 32" 4K monitor costs around $305 USD.

I would like to hear more of you guys about this - 4K TV as a monitor or a 4K PC monitor proper? What are the benefits and downsides of each choise?

Thanks again for all the help!

Mate, if you're dead set on getting a 5800X please feel free to do so. But for the life of me, who once also had a 5600X, I can see no reason to not get a 5700X3D (or 5800X3D, emphasis on X3D, but the 8 isn't worth ~R$1000 over the 7) and that's if you get a 7900XT at minimum, anything below won't suffer much. Yes, the 5600X won't let a 7900XT(X) flex the GPU muscles at fullest but also won't hold it back completely.
I say this from experience, I changed from a 3070 to the 7900XTX before changing from the 5600X to the 5700X3D.

Bit more of an ouch there. Trust me though, the 7800XT is worth it. Can you get anything other than Sapphire?
I think the CPU is the hardest to choose (the CPU is pretty much defined).
The extra 2 cores from the 5700X will make a difference for games that are CPU heavy, which will be more of a thing in the coming years.

4K is good, no debate there. I've been using a 32" TV as a display for years. It does very well. Just make sure you get a screen with 4ms pixel response times and 120hz minimum. My earlier advice is conditional on a desktop use-case-scenario. If you're going to be sitting a few feet away, a 50" would be fine. If on a desktop right up close to your face, 32" really should be the maximum.

Yes, I could.

XFX Radeon RX 7800 XT Speedster Qick319, 16GB, GDDR6, 256-bit, RX-78TQICKF9 - 790
XFX Radeon RX 7800 XT Quicksilver, 16GB, GDDR6, 256-bit, RX-78TMAIRF9 - 861.91
AsRock Radeon RX 7800 XT Challenger OC, 16GB, GDDR6, 256-bit, 90-GA4SZZ-00UANF - 754
AsRock Radeon RX 7800 XT Phantom Gaming OC, 16GB, GDDR6, 256-bit, 90-GA4MZZ-00UANF - 808

(All prices in USD.)

I once read that the XFX is the best in manufacturing AMD GPUs - do not know if this really continues to apply.

If on a desktop right up close to your face, 32" really should be the maximum.
I could adapt my gaming room so it could be OK to have a 50 inches. The prices of other options with 4K and 32 inches are very similar to the price of the Smart TV 50" 4K LG UHD ThinQ AI 50UR8750PSA model (the only exception being the Smart TV 32" Toshiba DLED HD - TB020M, but I don't think this is a good model for gaming).

So far:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core - changing to AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
Gigabyte A520M DS3H V2 (rev. 1.1) PCI-e 3.0 (8GT/s) - keeping

LG Ultrawide 26" Full HD 2560x1080p 1ms IPS 75Hz AMD Freesync - in discussion

That one! Not just the best price, but it's got a very good cooler and performs well. The OC is good but on the mild side enough that the card doesn't become a space-heater under load.

The prices of other options with 4K and 32 inches are very similar to the price of the Smart TV 50" 4K LG UHD ThinQ AI 50UR8750PSA model (the only exception being the Smart TV 32" Toshiba DLED HD - TB020M, but I don't think this is a good model for gaming).
The catch with some models like those is that you'll be taking a solid hit in pixel response time performance, which will likely cause some ghosting/shadowing in some situations. Your current display is really a good one!

Can we discuss monitor models? I think that is the only part left to really wrap things up.

What 4k up to 32 inches do you guys recommend?

As I am upgrading to a RX 7800 XT I think it is the right thing to do focusing on 4K gaming from then on, instead of sticking with the 2560x1080p resolution.

7800XT is not appropriate for 4K gaming.

Ditch the CPU upgrade and spend your entire budget on the GPU.

Or compromise and go for 1440p not ultrawide 1080p, which you currently have.

So I guess the RX 7800 XT will do a good job on a 2650x1080p ultrawide resolution - the RX 7600 does a good job but it is starting to struggle with this resolution on some 2023/2024 titles.

Think I could stay longer on this resolution, then, and save some money, right? I mean, the image quality is pretty good... Maybe get a 32 inches 2650x1080p monitor?

You'd be ok with 3440x1440 with quality upscaling as well but 3840x2160p is asking too much of what is essential a mid range gpu at this point.

Standard 1440p is good as well but I doubt there are any good 1080p ultrawide monitors these days.

The amount of FSR reduced settings to get stable framerates on that card at 4k would defeat the purpose of it.

If you want 4k definitely just dump the whole budget into the gpu.

Do not want to use any upscaling (if I need the game to run above 60fps I just turn the settings down to medium).

Well, so... The options are to maintain the monitor I already have (it's good, never had any problems with it, really); to get a better 2560x1080p monitor (not interestering, I guess); or... to get a new monitor - a 32 inches one -, but with a 1920x1080p resolution (I think this last option allows me to play any modern title at maximum settings - high/ultra - with the RX 7800 XT, right?).

I wouldn't get a 32 inch 1080p display the pixel density will be terrible it's not much better than buying a higher resolution display and running a lower resolution on it.

Even 27 inch 1080p is pretty bad.

This is the thing that sucks in a lot of countries you can't try/test the hardware before hand.

If you want to go 27+ I'd get a 1440p/1440p ultrawide and just adjust settings. If you want to stick with 1080p just keep your monitor especially if you like it.

Your above build is awesome and the 5700X3D/7800XT are good hardware.

Hi!

Next november I will upgrade my system and I would like to know from you guys what do you think the best parts would be.

As for the processor and GPU, I was thinking about getting the Ryzen 5 5800X and the Radeon RX 7700 XT. Concerning the motherboard, I was thinking about the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming II.

Did not decide nothing yet about storage and RAM memory (keeping what I already have of these parts would be an option too).

For me, playing at 1080p and 2K resolutions just above 60 fps are fine, but I was thinking maybe getting a 50 inches 4K TV (took I look at the LG UHD UR8750 last week).

I do not think I will have to replace my power supply (but I would like to know your thoughts about this part as well).

Budget (not included the TV price): $1,000 USD.

What do you think the best options are?
Going from 5600x to 5800x will not give you much benefit, for gaming the 2 more cores won't make much difference, barely noticeable, if at all. You can keep the 5600x and go for a 4070 super.

Yes, it will.
for gaming the 2 more cores won't make much difference, barely noticeable, if at all.
That depends greatly on the game and with more games using more cores in the future, the extra two does currently make a difference(Starfield or Hogwarts anyone?) and will become more important. An 8core upgrade from a 6core may not seem like much but it is important. Additionally, the X3D part they have chosen is even more of a boost to performance and offering future headroom.
You can keep the 5600x and go for a 4070 super.
You didn't read the OP did you. They are AMD only. So the suggested 7800XT is the GPU to go for.

Got it!

Finally they reasoned with you and you successfully abandoned thoughts of RX 7700XT and 5600X/5800X.

Don't buy ASrock RX 7000 series cards. They run very cool and silent, that's true, but coils are audible even with 120W TGP or sometimes when you move a mouse cursor in 2D.
I'd expect coil whine being quite normal when it starts to be audible past 250W+ TGP, but not before.

I want to help you to as much as possible, so I tell you to learn from my mistakes. If you still insist on going with ASrock, then I wish you the best of luck in terms of coil whine, may you get much better coils than me.

If I were you, I'd wait for RX 8000s or save a bit of money and purchase a new RX 7900XT. RX8000s will be released in 2-3 months. I will ditch mine RX 7800XT as soon as RX 8800XT arrives (or what-will-be-its-name).

Motherboard: Asus x570 TUF-Plus wifi
RAM: 32GB DDR4 Crucial 3600MHz
Video Card: Radeon RX 6700XT
SSD: Crucial mx500
Power supply: Corsair tx750m

I use the PC mainly for gaming and sometimes for video editing using a 24 inch full HD monitor. Can you advice me a newer cpu? I am undecided between 5800x3d and 5700x3d. thank you
I will upgrade to a 5800X/5700X or 5800X3D (we don't know your budget). 5700X3D will be a bit too slow for video editing I suppose. It will be a last upgrade for AM4 so go all the way in I supose. I'm not an expert, I'll let others correct me.
I've recently upgraded for a 5700X3D but I don't do productivity at all.
