Which Ryzen processor should I buy?

Hi!

I would like your help. I’m putting together a new computer. My question would be, which Ryzen processor should I buy? I want to achieve a very good FPS value. My video card will be 3070 or 3080.

Thank you in advance for your help!

What’s your budget? That’s the key question. If budget doesn’t matter then get a ryzen 9 5950 X

I would buy an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor. What are your opinions?

Best combination: 5900X - 32GB RAM - RTX3090…

It all depends on what you plan to do with the system.

If you’re only going to be gaming / running MSFS; please just go for the 5600X. Games and sims will NOT utilize all those extra cores you get on the 5900X / 5950X.

If you’re also planning on doing productivity workloads (modelling, video editing) on the system, then it makes sense to step up.

There are way too many people complaining here that their Xeon/3900X/10900K isn’t being utilized by the sim, and they blame Asobo, while they simply bought the incorrect CPU for the workload they’re going to throw at it.

@MortThe2nd is absolutely correct. Also If you are going with a new Ryzen I would think about also going with a Radeon 6 series graphics card as that has some pretty big benefits when paired with Ryzen instead of with Nvidia.

Rtx 5090? C’ mon…

As your target resolution is 1440P, Ryzen 5 5600X + AMD 6800 XT + 32 GB of the fastest memory you can afford. The fast RAM is needed to unlock the limitless potential of Ryzen 5600X.
