It is only behind the Ryzen 9 5950X in terms of performance. Although the 5900X was one of the best performing processors when it debuted, Intel’s 12th gen “Alder Lake” Core lineup has stolen the performance crown from the Zen 3-based Ryzen processors. But, that does not change the fact that the 5900X is a great processor for gaming purposes.

Together, the Ryzen 9 5900X and the RX 6800 XT make for a high-end gaming PC. Gamers who go for these components will not be disappointed with the performance. However, after you have chosen your CPU and GPU, it is time to get a decent motherboard and case for the gaming setup.
