AM4(3600x) to AM5(7600x3d) upgrade or wait?
I'm looking to take advantage of the tax free Ohio 2 weeks since they added computers and such to it, and i was looking at possibly upgrade my setup from 3600x to 7600x3d or possibly squeeze the money out for the 9800x3d combo. But is the 200$ more worth it for the 9800x3d?. Microcenter has what seems to be decent 7600x3d combos for 400$ and the 7800x3d at 550$, and 9800x3d at 600$
Decided to grab a 9060xt since it was in my price range for the moment, so i am looking to upgrade the rest. But i'm kinda torn between waiting, or just grabbing the 7600x3d combo and upgrading the chip, or just splurging a tad more for the 9800x3d. I only play video games and watch stuff, so it wouldn't be anything more intensive then that, and i'm just not sure where to go. Generally game at 1440p, but i don't mind turning down the res if needed.
