5900x or 5950x

[the wopster]

I managed to get a 5900x just above retail price and a 5950x for retail price and I’m now in a dilemma of which one to keep and which one to sell, anyone care to chip in on which I should keep and which I should sell on? I’m leaning toward the 5950x as it should have the 2 better dies where as I read the 5900x is a chip will slightly worse dies

It depends on what you'll use it for. If it's just the usual PC use and gaming, then 5900X is more than enough, possibly even a 5800X would be fine. If you do work loads that benefit from the extra cores, then go for the 5950X.

As above depends what you're going to be doing on your pc, for gaming there's not much point going for the 5950x unless you want it for bragging rights

I had a 9900k so didn’t really need to upgrade in the first place TBH
