No. Not every budget build needs a X3D CPU!

    I have one and I gotta say, that’s one hell of a CPU!

    Also my very first AMD CPU ever, super happy with its performance. 🙂

    For “budget” builds, yea the 7800x3d doesn’t make sense, a 5700x3d would make more sense.

    But in terms of gaming focused builds, the 7800x3d really is the best choice

  3. TraditionalCourse938

    stfu, and get a 7800x3d.

    i wish i did instead of trash 13900k but it wasnt out yet before…..

  4. GerWeistta

    For a budget build not, but the 7800x3d is the best cpu for gaming out there

    Almost upgraded to one recently, but AM5 ITX & mATX mobos all seem like slapped together shit this gen, so I just opted to upgrade my AM4 X570 to a 5800X3D instead.

    I saw a guy in r/buildmeapc who bought 7800x3d and rx 6600☠️

    With ton of aesthetics sh1t

    It ended up costing 1.5 grands usd

    He said he needs it for fps games (he would play in 1440p)

    I’m still content over here with a 5900X hehe

    Facts. I grabbed a Ryzen 9 5950X instead. Gaming benchmarks weren’t the only thing that mattered to me, and I wanted to stay with AM4. It outperforms the 7800X3D in some areas and loses in others.

    Aren’t i3/R3 budget class CPU? I mean, Ryzen x800 targets the high end -_- How would someone consider that a “budget” is beyond me. That is 380 eur CPU. What kind of budget we even talk about? 1k, 2k? Forgetting about the peripherals? 7600X is 230, 5600X is 130 eur……

    All the above CPUs can drive RX 6600 without bottlenecking it. My god some people really like to gaslight people

    Fr all advice you can possibly get these days

    I prefer starting with a cheap CPU, and then upgrade to the best offering when AM5 reaches the dead end.

    Don’t need but would like to have it. Current CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600XT paired with an RX6800 and 32 GB RAM 3200Mhz. Everything runs fine.

    I spunked my budget on GPU and 6tb m.2 and had to compromise. I play at 4k though so it’s fine

  14. Seekstillness

    I went with a 5600 and a 4070 super when it was time to upgrade from my 2600x and 3070.

    $750 all in and the performance is a huge step up at 1440p and light 4k. Bonus is I didn’t have to upgrade mobo, RAM, or my 650 w psu.

    Just couldn’t justify the 5800x3d for double the cost, let alone the jump to AM5.

  15. lrbaumard

    I really wanted one when I was updating my PC but the 13700k was actually available cheaper.

    7800x3d very scarce in the UK

  16. If your main use case is gaming, and if your budget allows it then yes, you do need a 7800X3D.

  17. I want a 7800x3d but it has been out for so long that I don’t want to buy it. I want an 8800x3d

  18. ZoteTheMitey

    I’m pretty happy with my 13600k

    ​

    runs with p cores locked at like 5.2 ghz, was able to undervolt some. Temps less than 70C 99% of the time.

  19. AncientPCGuy

    Well, admit I got one and outside of two games, it isn’t being utilized. But I do admit I went overkill in that MB and ram because I was given a generous budget. I figure get those now and I can update GPU a couple times while I save for another full build.

  20. A_PCMR_member

    Yeh, BUT it is brutally fast for its price and should last a while. In europe it was the price of a 5800x3d for a while. and the 5600 and 7600 were just 50€ behind

  21. RayneYoruka

    People recommending X3d cpus for workstation.. is stupid xddddddd

  22. masterchief99

    No you don’t need a 7800X3D. A cheaper 5800X3D tho

  23. unabletocomput3

    Not every system needs it but they’re damn fine cpus. Its the best of both worlds with no drawbacks, you get the incredible performance from a ryzen cpu and lose the ryzen stutter and low 1%’s that happens when l3 cache gets overfilled.

    That would be like if intel stopped teasing us by putting more p cores and less e cores into their cpus, focused on shrinking the nodes, lowering the power draw, and upping the IPC.

    Granted, the $300-400 price point on their 7800x3d isn’t very attractive so it’s probably gonna be a while until I even think about getting one.

  24. saxovtsmike

    looking at my 7700x, your still a good boi

  25. nihoc003

    Honestly?
    Am4 boards are dirt cheap now so it’s really hard to argue against a 5800x3d in a budget focused build here in europe

  26. Spacial_Epithet

    If it’s a budget build, it’ll use the 5600X3D
