Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 7 5800X?
Right now I'm using a Ryzen 3 3200G alongside a Radeon RX 570 with 8GB. I was thinking about changing out the CPU as it is more on the budget side but I just wanted a few opinions before I actually bought one of them. Would the 5600X be a good enough upgrade or should I get the 5800X instead? I have games coming out later this year like BF 2042 and Total War: Warhammer 3 in mind.

I am using an ASRock B450 Pro4 Bad Motha My Hero. If the 3700X is a potential upgrade path, then I could look into that too. I haven't actually bought anything yet, I'm just waiting until I get paid to buy the CPU.
5600X would still be better than the 3700X because it's a ~20% jump in single core performance which is more important for gaming. The cores aren't worth it, and people said for YEARS long before Ryzen that 8 cores would be necessary "soon" because console CPUs were using 8 cores. The 5600X is literally fine, nobody needs more than 6 cores and 12 threads any time soon.

The 5800X can and will be held back to a degree on your motherboard (along with any other 105W TDP SKU) because it can't handle the level of current the chip actually needs. It's the downside of using many B450 boards and a bunch of super cheap B550s.

While I agree with you overall that I'd take the faster hex core for more gaming performance (especially shorter term), the idea that "people have been saying for years that this is going to happen and it didn't then so why would it be now" is something I find to be poor reasoning. As time goes on, this only becomes MORE likely.

Per the specific example of consoles having had more cores for a while now, yes, they have, but they were also MUCH slower than those found in PC CPUs, and eventually games that needed more than fast quad cores started becoming more common, so the idea that things didn't move up isn't even totally true anyway. Meanwhile, the ones in the current consoles are more comparable, and while you're not going to need 8 cores next year (games don't parallelize well so even a decent quad core is okay for most), I'd say it's at the point to where you can choose either and not really be "wrong". But, again, developers are going to try as much as they can to target the widest audience possible and most people still have quad cores. So, for short term gaming performance, yes, I agree with you, but that specific example always irks me because it's not even entirely true, and misrepresent things by assuming 8 slow cores in an era where PC CPUs topped out at 4 cores outside the HEDT is anywhere comparable to an era where the console CPUs are not more comparable and we're in an era where octo cores are pretty cheap, and not even near the top that is offered either.

Either way, doesn't matter in this case because the 5800X would actually perform worse for now because his board doesn't have sufficient power to actually handle an 8 core 105W SKU or better. Cheap B450s like that were made for the ~8-core 65W SKUs or 6-core 95W SKUs.

The 5600X would be able to actually push PBO on that board while the 5800X just can't, so in raw core performance the 5600X would pull ahead. The B550-A PRO, B550 AORUS Elite, and B550-F are all boards that I would recommend for users seeking high performance out of Zen3, because there's more than enough power from the VRM to handle a 16 core like the 5950X, and this is probably the last generation for AM4, so making the most out of the socket so one needs to upgrade the whole platform later rather than sooner is worth a little bit extra.

But not for our OP who already has a cheap B450 board only capable of 100 amps. The 5800X needs 125A, the 5900X needs 160A, and the 5950X needs 200A. Coincidentally, most B550s above a certain price point have SIGNIFICANTLY better VRM than most X470 boards and they're often on par with decent X570 boards, and sometimes actually better.
For instance, the B550 AORUS Master can pull more power than the X570 AORUS Master and the same as the X570 AORUS XTREME; the B550 and XTREME boards can pull 300A while the X570 AORUS Master can pull 250A.

More recently, a user on reddit was having issues with their 5900X crashing, and they were using a 100A board. Nobody else had a clue what was going on, but I suggested that because his board VRM was typically capable of around half of what a 12 core 24 thread processor like that needed to run well, that it could be related to the VRM being so overstressed that his performance was well below average and the system would hang and crash. After replacing his 100A board with a 200A board, the problem was immediately gone. People are both heavily overestimating what their motherboard can handle, and underestimating how much power Ryzen 9 in particular actually needs because of the TDP being the same as the 5800X.

I wasn't talking about the board at all or saying OP should get a 5800X with what board they have.

I was just commenting on that one specific reasoning you gave (that is, that consoles have had eight cores since last generation and requirements didn't suddenly shoot up then to make them required so they won't now) because I think it ignores a lot of other factors and is a bit dishonest to use it as reasoning why game requirements won't go up (they did then and will continue to do so).

However, I wasn't saying that it meant the recommendation you gave was wrong though; I agreed with it. I agreed that a 5600X would be better short term for gaming performance than a 3700X, in the case a 5800X was out of the question.

I don't think that 6 cores will last 10 years, but I don't think it'll be less than 5.

They can't keep forcing out lower core counts because it heavily impacts their ability to keep selling games to PC gamers which is only getting more popular.

I would probably give consideration to the Ryzen 7 5800X because I feel like if you're still on a quad core at this point, you should try and aim to just hop over hex cores and go to octo cores
I'm preparing an upgrade myself and a review from Gamer Nexus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x2BYNimNOU) shows the 5800X performing the best out of the entire Ryzen Zen 3 line up for Total War games.
As you mentioned, this is likely due to the fact that Total War games are able to optimize the processing power of eight cores specifically, while additional cores can even have a negative impact (as demonstrated by their benchmark tests and interpreted by the host).

Although the 5600X is the better value for gaming as a whole, strategy games in particular can really benefit from the added processing power. Since I'm getting a rig together for Total War: Warhammer 3, play a lot of other strategy games, and use CPU-heavy apps for work, so I feel like I can justify the added cost.

For most people though, they should appreciate how Gamer Nexus ends their review of the Ryzen 5800X with some words of wisdom:
"We take it all back: it is worth every penny of that $150 difference to get that 1.1747% more performance than the 5600X. In fact, we need to come clean about being misleading too.
It's technically even better than that... it's 1.1746680286% better; which is more numbers and therefore more better. "

The problem with Zen3 right now is the rather terrible pricing below Ryzen 9

Statistically you can spend quite a bit less on Intel for the same core/thread count, and with overclocking, you can get similar if not better performance in most cases

GN's 5800X review doesn't have results of the 10700K when its overclocked, but it does for the 10600K and 10900K, which is odd

Overclocked Intel can give better consistency since the clocks aren't bouncing all over the place like they typically do with Ryzen, and those CPUs can't overclock safely and well enough for it to be worth it

I still feel Zen 3 is okay to go with even below Ryzen 9 but normally yeah it's a bit too expensive (especially the 8 core model typically)/Intel's 10th generation is a better value. Sometimes you see sales on Zen 3 that makes it a bit better than normal, maybe not a wildly better deal than Intel but not much worse either. Same with Zen 2, it's a bit behind intel on the performance for not much more savings but sometimes it's not a "bad" choice. Intel's 10th generation is just usually THE best choice on value right now so it's the point to beat, which Zen 2 and Zen 3 both usually just fail to do on value (Zen 3 at least has a slight performance edge for its premium on average, as small as it is, like Intel had with the 10th generation over Zen 2 a year ago).

Maybe with Alder Lake coming and the whole Zen 3 3D cache refresh coming well see pricing and structure changing but it's hard to say with the way the market's been lately with the shortages and supply chain issues.

Just an update. A few weeks ago I found a Ryzen 5 3600 for discount at Best Buy and bought that instead and it's been doing pretty well so far. I've been reading that the 5600X causes problems for people with my motherboard (presumably because of how cheap it is) so I decided to go against it. Next PC I get I'll be sure to do more research and have a higher budget as well.

Simply put, unless you want to do other things then game, stick to a 5600x. If want to do encoding, rendering etc, then 5900x. Don't waste your money with the in betweens.

The 5800X will only pull ahead in a few very CPU intensive games that need strong CPU for a lot of active AI. But for most games the 5600X is plenty more then enough raw cpu power. Get a decent B550 board, not a cheap one. Get 2x8gb or 2x16gb DDR4-3600 and a couple SSDs. Along with at least a 600W Modular Gold Certified PSU. DO NOT install Win11 anytime soon. Whatever CPU you get, buy a decent Cooler, such as BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4
