@mr-jones said in Ryzen 3900x vs 5600x:
@irj Nice. Since I left that comment I bought a pre-built as a graduation gift to myself as it seems the only way to get anything at the moment. I went with the 3900X / Radeon RX 6700XT combo. I got about a 6 week wait though.
One thing I would consider, if you haven't thought about it already, in relation to your original question is your power consumption. I noticed the 3900X is 105W whereas the 5600X is only 65W.
Unfortunately I found out my motherboard is not backwards compatible so I will be sticking with 5600x for a little while. I woolf eventually like to upgrade to a 5900x when I can find one for MSRP. The upgrade cost from Dell was more than Msrp on 5900x so I will just wait.
I have a 1000watt PSU so CPU power consumption shouldn't matter much for me.
