Guys, in your opinion, do you think the 5600x is worth the >RM500 difference to the 3600?

I mean this from a new purchase standpoint, not an upgrade standpoint as I'm getting a completely new build. Was just about to pull the trigger for the 5600x, but can't quite stomach the price difference lol

Also, MSI B550 Gaming Edge w/ Wifi or Asus TUF B550 Plus Wifi? Only perceivable difference is the ASUS board has 2x Gen 2 aRGB headers, while the RM100 more expensive MSI board has only 1 lol, and of course VRM but I doubt I'll be doing crazy overclocks with either of the Ryzen 5 CPUs anyway.

Sorry, actually has 2x3pin and 2x4pin rgb headers, was super blur yesterday and misread some information on their website lol
I think only difference is it has Bluetooth5.0 enabled and maybe slightly better VRM cooling compared to the ASUS board.


Simply came up with a username to discuss my pc build hahah

Found one selling at RM869 basically MSRP. I'm leaning towards buying the 3600 first, then if the 5600 (non-x) releases at good price, I'll just upgrade and sell the 3600 at slight loss early next year.
Good idea or should I still get the 5600x (@RM1399)? Also pairing it with RTX3070 and gaming @1440p 144Hz

Willing buyer willing seller, no choice
I also personally bought a 3600 few months ago cause of crazy prices on Zen 3, waiting for non-X Zen 3 to come out before upgrading/sidegrading.
Or maybe the announced 5800 and 5900 non-X for OEM builds will eventually become available
