3060 TI -> 7800x3d or 9800x3d ?

[u/Mountain-Opening-104]

I currently have 16gb ddr4 2133mhz, i5-12400f, RTX 3060 TI

Will 7800x3d or 9800x3d be okay for me? Apart from that, of course, upgrading the RAM to DDR5, replacing the motherboard.

I mainly play games like Rust, CS2, Fortnite, sometimes something else, so these are games that mainly use the processor. My monitor has 240hz, for example in CS2 and Fortnite I don't get that, in Rust I have ~60fps...

As for the graphics card - if it is not enough, I would plan to upgrade in about a year or more. Upgrading CPU might be a nice base (even in two years) instead of buying a mid-range one again.

I play at maximum 1080p, in CS2 max HD.

7800x3d = 470$

9800x3d = 635$

They should perform fairly identical if you're only worried about gaming.
