Cpu to go with a 7900xtx

[umboma]

Hey all,

I've kinda asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but now I've bought a XTX used it for a few days and I'm finding the CPU is at 100% usage while the GPU is around 80% so I guess I should upgrade the CPU. I currently have a 12400F, so below is what I feel is my options but thought I'd get it out there for you good people to have a look at.

Stay with LGA1700 and upgrade the 12400f to 14600k total £300
Move down to AM4 5800X3D and mobo £420

Playing at 4k.

Cheers all.

I honestly would wait until zen 5. The 12400f can't be holding you back that much

TBH it's not, I'm getting over 100fps on Horizen Forbidden West, it's more that I know it's there and it's annoying me lol. Maybe waiting is the best bet, or just get a cheaper 12600kf for now.
