3600 upgrade

Update: So the 5700x3d was installed today using a Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE, temps are very good under load, are around 65c but i haven't tested fully yet. My 7900 Gre XFX sounds like a jet engine when playing games, i will have to have a mess around with the fan curve. I haven't done a PC install for a fair few years and it took me a lot longer than the past, i was extremely rusty, the case is a Aerocool Interstellar ARGB getting the front panel cables in the correct order took ages for some reason. The GPU only just fit buy around 1 inch super close to not getting in case, i did research before buying, i did think at one time it would not fit. Ive also had to buy a PCIE card to add USB C to the front panel. Thanks to all who posted in the thread for help and suggestions

3600 to a 5600 is pointless at 4k as gaming at that resolution in mainly GPU bound. The 5700x3d should give you better minimumsfps at 4k

My wife is using a 3600 and I have a 5800X3D and we both have 6800 XTs at 1440p. In most games I doubt we'd notice much difference, only really CPU bound games would be noticeable.

I also have that cooler on a 5700X3D, and it thermal throttled under Cinebench. Its good enough for gaming, reaching about 76c ish though, so i just kept it.
