The Ryzen 5 7600X at $147 remains the top gaming CPU pick despite Zen 5 being a minimal upgrade, while the RX 9070 XT at $650 outperforms Nvidia's RTX 5070 by ~25% at a similar price. Choosing AM5 over AM4 adds ~$200 but keeps upgrade paths open for future X3D processors. AMD's FSR 4 has also closed much of the gap with Nvidia's DLSS, making the all-AMD platform compelling for 1440p and 4K gaming over the next 3–4 years. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
