yeah, we looked at getting a 5600 for this build, but it's like 50 bucks more for like 5-10 FPS. plus my brother runs a 3600 in his rig and says there's no problems. getting last gen hardware is always a bit sketchy, but she's always able to just buy any AM4 socket cpu a few years into the future. thanks for the recommendation though.
Try to find a used 3600 or 5600. Tons of people have upgraded their CPUs once the 5800x3d came out. I've got my old 5600x just sitting unused in a box because I haven't bothered with coming up with a project for it yet.
depending on who is buying it for holidays, it might be too late already. but that's a great idea, i bought all of my graphics cards used, why not the CPU?
