If your like me and you play various games, upgrading to the AM5 platform is defo worth the move up. I play at 1440p with an ACER 3440x1440 monitor and ASRock 7800XT GPU.
I have mine cooled with a Thermalright Assassin King 120, does the job fine on a budget. Both cpu and cooler are dead easy to install.
Games like Path of Exile and Diablo get way better returns from the 7600x compared to my previous 5600x. PoE avg went from 106 > 155 (big boost) and Diablo 4 from 113 to 143. So for games like this, you can then fine tune them to run 120 and keep the computer cool and quiet. Winner.
Apex is running in 1440p at 165fps, much better than the 5600x was running it.
Obviously my PC runs nice and snappy and would recommend upgrading to AM5. Especially with Zen 5 cpu's coming later this year.
Note: Obviously you could get a 7600 and boost it, but i'm not happy with overclocking so the extra few pounds is fine just to install and go.
