I experience some performance issues while playing Helldivers 2 and apparently it’s because the game is really CPU heavy.

My GPU is a NVIDIA RTX 5060ti and my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X.

Now I don’t have the money to upgrade to an AM5 CPU, because I definitely can’t afford DDR5 RAM, so the other options thought about was getting a stronger AM4 CPU. So I looked a bit online and it seems to me like the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the best AM4 CPU for gaming.

Now my question, would an upgrade from a Ryzen 7 3700X to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D make a notable difference, or should I wait to upgrade to AM5?

So I had a talk with a couple friends about some fails we had with our PCs and I said that every single time, when I take my GPU out of my PC (which I had to do quite frequently, when my old GPU was defective), and I am not exaggerating, I would pull on the GPU, wonder why it’s not coming off. I’d pull harder and be startled by a clicking when the little black clip, that I forgot is there to hold the GPU tight, would pop off the slot. And every time I would just pick it up and click it back in.

So my friends were a bit perplexed and said that I am lucky that my motherboard could withstand me pulling the GPU off and that the GPU slot could break off if I continue to do this. I don’t doubt that this is not supposed to happen, but it surely isn’t just me who forgets about these clips, right?
