AMD cpu for gaming

[Badger1970]

Hi

building a new pc and was thinking of getting the 5900x. I mainly game and random video editing but not much.

Is this overkill for what I need or maybe good for future proofing?

thanks

Hi,
Basically my MB died so I have the psu and gpu (2070 super). So just need the cpu, mb, ram (although I think my DDR4 2400 will still work).

I can afford the 5900x so maybe should just crack on and get that.

I’ll new post again for complete build ideas.

I’ll probably get new ram tbh honest and try and flow the old stuff
