Hello everyone,
so basically I'm planning on building a new PC without the GPU while wating for the RTX5000/RX8000 series to launch but I'm having trouble on deciding which CPU to go with
don't really wanna "cheap out" but also not overspend if I don't really need to
as mentioned above I only really play story games, from older titles like Bioshock, L.A. Noire to the newest AAA Games like Alan Wake 2, Ghost of Tsushima and so on in 1440p/4k
and wanted to ask if it even matters what CPU I go with
options would be:
7600 ~180€
7700 ~225€
7600X3D ~300€
planning on pairing it with a RTX5070/8800XT
 
7600X3D paired with 16GB of CL30/32 of DDR5 6000 will sort you out for a long time. Its a no brainer.
