Please get the 7800X 3D
7950X 3D is not phenomenal
small zinc
Ryzen 7950x3d is phenomenal
I have one and not disappointed. Definitely made a difference for my 4090.
And go ahead and ignore anything Mazda says. He's just salty that the 7950x3d outperforms his 13900ks. Even on much slower Memory frequencies and timings.
Technically from a gaming standpoint, the 7800x3d will likely perform just as well if not better than the 7950x3d because of how the CCX's are laid out on the 7950. However also depends on what you want out of it. Either way, the entire 3D stacked v-cache Zen 4 CPU line-up outperforms anything Intel has, at least in raw gaming benchmarks.
The fact that you have to overclock a 13900ks to 6 ghz, and its associated memory to 8000 MT/s just to even remotely stay relevant....

Get a Keychron Q1 Pro and a Keychron M3 mouse (theres also a 59g M4 mouse coming out this month). Keyboard is around $150 fully built, and the mouse is around $50. Super simple software, all gets mapped to the on-board memory so you don't need any junk running that doesn't need to be. Well under your budget and much higher quality than the generic "gaming" brands out there. Get M3 for the RGB if that's your thing, but I'd personally get the M4 mouse as it's the same weight as a G Pro X superlight.
They also do every keyboard layout imaginable in their Q series too, the Q1 Pro just adds bluetooth if you ever need it for non-gaming devices.

long compass
K100 has an 8,000 hz polling rate. 8x faster than the V1. Also OPX switches
Kind of reinforces mine and @prime jasper points though. It's very much marketing for the most part. The majority of people aren't going to notice the few ms of difference between a "gaming" branded keyboard and a normal mechanical keyboard from Keychron. They certainly won't notice the fractions of a ms difference between 8000hz and 1000hz. The corsair boards are ridiculously overpriced, lack customisation/repairability like many "gaming" keyboards, and specifically to @winter tangle 's needs they crucially use iCue which is significantly worse than any Logitech software.
iCue specifically is such a pretentious nerd trap that it's best avoided by all but those who wish to spend hours understanding how to use that monstrosity. Corsair make great hardware, but the software is very clearly designed and maintained by the programmers behind it, which is not a good thing. A developer's mind is a beautiful thing, but the biggest shortcoming is always explaining things to a non-technical audience. That's where Corsair should be hiring a badass UI/UX team to collaborate with them and turn that mess into something functional for everyone.

It's obviously subjective. The K100 is a well built keyboard and I personally own it and also don't have any issues with iCue. Marketing gimmicks? Perhaps, however what I do trust is the peace of mind with Corsair. Like you said yourself, their hardware is extremely well built and not cheaply built like other "gaming" keyboards. They do in fact stick behind their warranties, and my personal interaction with their customer service places them automatically to the top of any recommendation. Do you need to spend $200+ on just a keyboard? No, but as I mentioned before the customizability of the K100 in particular along with it's insane polling rate, and OPX switches makes it a superior keyboard to Keychron. But that's my opinion. The keyboard isn't for everyone, but I wouldn't by any stretch place it in the category of "generic gaming keyboards".
long compass

Uses the top end pixart sensor. They haven't cheaped out on anything and the Rtings review shows this. Shape is definitely a preference though and they use a more unusual shape than most, probably closer to the usual Logi G Pro? Favours left and right usage over one specific style. The switches in my G Pro X SL are cheap and nasty, as is the build quality in general for a >£100 mouse. Seems to be that you need good soldering skills to get decent switches :/

Fair enough, completely agree in regards to the hardware and quality. I've only ever had a problem with one of their older mechanicals when they were just starting out with them, the LEDs died very quickly. This was back in the days of the old two-prong pass through diodes though, prone to failures on all OEM boards. The K70 I owned after that was an absolute tank to the point where my partner bought the RGB version... She left it on the default settings as iCue made it incredibly difficult just to set a different pattern, let alone save it to the onboard memory so that it applied when powered on instead of at boot.
They also do nice MMO mice.... which aren't bound to keys 1 through 10 and '-'/'+' out of the box. iCue made it impossible to actually remap these without setting macros up so that they worked as num row keys like every single other mmo/moba mouse. Then it won't let you save all of these macros to onboard memory, meaning you need to leave iCue running, which is fine until a game simply does not recognise the mouse or the iCue bindings. The mouse went back to Amazon and Razer of all companies made me happy with their basic Naga X mouse. Hardware cheap as turd as with all Razer products, but surprisingly Synapse out of all the OEM softwares I've used made it super simple to customise, save to mouse storage, and then delete the software for good.

storm osprey
more boutique brands that dont upsell for marketing/sponsorships
as far as build quality goes they will destroy 99% of gaming keyboards
the only real place gaming keyboards shine is with RGB and software
for example
something extremely niche (southpaw keyboard), that comes with a full alumium body, double gasket mounting, hot swap switches, double shot pbt keycaps, etc.. is the same price as the corsair k95
tldr, as far as quality is concerned, you can generally spend half the price on a "boutique" brand and get the same quality as a gaming brand

I don't really need all the RGB stuff on my keyboard, the only thing i need a software for is to customise mouse buttons

as long as the wireless resposne times are good i'm not fussed tbh

whats wrong with corsair mice
I’ve never seen one last more than 2 years, most of them failed around the year mark. I’ve never seen them make more than a mid mouse, especially for fps.
Out of the several mouse enthusiasts i follow, none of them have ever said anything good for Corsair mice. That doesn’t mean they are outright bad, don’t function, etc. they are typically just the 5th choice behind other mice for the same price.
nocturne drift
fair enough, I switched to it cause g502 left click kinda broke.
the current mouse is 3 years old and going but my sample size is too small
I got it solely because icue controls it so 1 bloatware instead of 2
storm osprey
My first two serious mice purchases were both Corsair mice. Both broke pretty quick and I swore them off since. A bit biased but I’ve probably personally known at least 7 other people have similar stories.

So I upgraded my GPU this year to a RX6700XT, I'm planning on making a new PC by the end of this year
I need to know what would be the best CPU to pair with it?
Would a Ryzen 7 5800X3D work?
quick locust
Yes if its reasonably priced
quick locust
Not really its just slightly higher clocked version
X3D is a lot better though but theres not that many of them now
Do you already have an AM4 board
pale quartz
the AM4 platform is dead, theres no point buying a ryzen 5000 series processor
get a 7800x3d or a 7000 series processor
small zinc
Would a Ryzen 7 5800X3D work?
For value and performance? Absolutely. The 5800X3D is still one of the best CPU's on the market currently and also outperforms the 12900k by quite a bit. For $320, you really get a hell of a CPU
AM4 is far from dead
And all depends on your budget. The 5800X3D is going to outperform anything that isn't 7xxx X3D, or higher end Raptor Lake
From a gaming standpoint
Even an overclocked 12700k/12900k is still slower than the 5800x3d by about 3.6%
13% At stock speeds
So yeah. AM4 far from dead.

merry wagon
that's RAM included
molten flame
I just have other stuff and don't want to spend it all on a CPU
you targeting 1080p, 1440p, or 4K
small zinc
6700XT isn't a bad GPU at all. Don't get me wrong. But the 5800X3D may be slightly "overkill" too. You will most certainly be "future proof" with that setup though if that's your budget.
Currently $320 on Amazon

whats msrp of 7800x3d?
small zinc

molten flame
with 6700XT, you really don't need more than a 5600/5700X

$10 more than the 5800x3d was at launch
merry wagon
6700XT isn't a bad GPU at all. Don't get me wrong. But the 5800X3D may be slight...
If the 5600 is a better deal and won't be overkill for my PC i'd get that
small zinc
7800x3d is nice and all. But he doesn't need it for that 6700xt. Honestly, price to performance wise, in that price range, you're not beating a 5800X3D. Hands down.

if I'm not getting an X3D might as well get an intel CPU that's better
eh i wouldn generalize it with "better"
small zinc
the real question I have is Smart access better with AMD GPU/CPU?
Smart Access Memory is nice and all. But still relatively gimmicky. Might net you around ~~5% performance uplift at best.

5800X3D is $100 cheaper and a motherboard for it $150 cheaper than 13700K setup

tomahawk
imo b550 tomahawk
its the go to
you can also get the gaming edge, iirc they are pretty similar but you will save a few bucks
small zinc
It's your money obviously. Get what you like or want within your means. But given the price you gave us. The 5800X3D is kind of a no brainer. Considerably better performance than Alder Lake for cheaper. And honestly not that much inferior to Raptor Lake for ALOT cheaper.
merry wagon
That puts me just at $600 lol
small zinc
But yep. A tomahawk B550 motherboard paired with a 5800X3D is going to be quite literally the absolute best "Bang For Buck" at that price range
merry wagon
I mean my 3 intensive games is DCS, 2042 and Squad
I mean besides that I play payday, carrier command and very low requirements game
small zinc
It's more about "future proof".
merry wagon
I also play at 1080
small zinc
And for $600, that rig will last you a good 5+ years for the games you play
1080p? Yeah, there's nothing a 5800X3D and 6700XT will remotely sneeze at. Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if you could play the new Crysis reboot in "Can it Run Crysis" mode at a solid 30+ FPS
Not that you play that....But just giving you the idea of the performance of that level of rig
Hell of a build for all less than $1,000
(GPU and Storage included obviously)
Disregard. This guy is getting 100+ FPS in Crysis Remastered on a 6700XT.
Reason I use this as a benchmark game is because Sabre Interactive remastered the game using 8K textures, and eliminated draw distance. It's pretty damned intensive.

Running at certain graphic types will increase VRAM usage (& generally require more out of the card).
It's a bit difficult to describe.

I dont understand what’s that I’m a noob
VRAM is a type of video memory that uses GDDR, instead of DDR, the difference between both is GDDR is what's called NVM, non volatile memory, and DDR is volatile, all you need to know is VRAM is used within games to hold a variety of different storage related operations, e.g. textures, player models etc instead of main memory, in terms of both cards your experience will be mostly the same (just one is using geforce and the other is using Radeon), so pick whichever one you prefer
as things stand the 6800xt is slightly more expensive and crushes both cards, buy it if you can

what is your other components?
pine anchor
Idk
candid flame
for people with no prior experience with computers, I'd suggest paying for a pre-built
candid flame
does your friend know how to do it or he just says he does
pine anchor
He know how
candid flame
going to be painful when your friend ruins your 200$ cpu
pine anchor
but there are sites where i can get a ready made one with my components or not?
pale quartz
that's called a prebuilt pc
pine anchor
Is it bad ?
pale quartz
your components are not guaranteed, they are at the decision of the company who build it
candid flame
you can pick the components with some companies
pale quartz
and they're more expensive than building it yourself due to you paying for labour
it's a ok route for those not experienced
candid flame
and they charge a premium, or a labour fee yeah
safest way to get into computers
or watch The Verge's video and electro-shock your motherboard

Like look. Prebuilts while they can be full of stuff you do not need and ultimately could make something cheaper if you were to get the parts for yourself. They're relatively stress free.
You get the PC, It works.
If it doesn't it's all on the supplier.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
8GB RX6600
16GB RAM DDR4
500GB NVME SSD
Gigabyte B550 GAMING X
What do u say ?
quick locust
Decent, though you could get a better gpu than that
candid flame
with 900 euro probably not, make sure that 16gb ram is two 8gb sticks and not a cheaper single 16gb stick
and 1tb cheap sata ssd so you don't run out of space after installing windows
pine anchor
Wanna build me one ?
quick locust
Now build your OS from scratch
pale quartz
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
8GB RX6600
16GB RAM DDR4
500GB NVME SSD
Gigabyte B550 GAMING X...
you'll need to be more specific with the memory, your performance will depend a lot on it
candid flame
probably 1 stick of 16gb 2600mhz

i updated my windows and drivers now i get around 12500 points at port royal than my previous 13500
wtf
it say that average rtx 3090 got a score of 13300 something
ivory creek
well it indicates a performance loss
pale quartz
it doesn't
you have no idea if you regressed performance based on one statistic
stop worrying about benchmark software which is designed for overclocking performance and just play games
molten flame
testing out several different games is the best way to estimate performance and stability
ivory creek
only thing ive been keeping track of is port royal. when i game i dont keep a close eye on fps etc
so its my way of testing things
candid flame
lmao

ye i had covid. had pain and high fever for over a month
but ive said this many times before

I'm coughing so much my jaw hurts like I got punched in the face

kinda makes sense. if there's an outbreak, the worst place to be at is at the place it gets treated due people that have symptoms will more likely be there.
ivory creek
well i had pain somewhere and called a doctor who said it could be cancer and i had to go look it up. turns out i have a tiny harmless cyst that sometimes cause pain but thats it

7800X3D benchmarks are out
nocturne drift
Speaking of cpu
So far I got 40+k in cinebench
5.8ghz all P cores.
Gonna do e cores later.
7200 xmp is also stable.
So far so good. The only trouble I ran into was hwinfo clashing with icue making me think the rgb controller died lol

i updated my windows and drivers now i get around 12500 points at port royal tha...
Did core isolation turn on or smth?
The win11 new I installed had core isolation on by default

welp, definitely seems like the next cpu ill be getting in a year or so

7800 X3D > 13900K all day long.
Public service announcement. NVMe drives are super cheap on Amazon right now
2TB SK Hynix P41 Platinum for $156 right now
Samsung also has a hell of a sale on the 990 Pro for $144 on their site.
2TB version

Wonder if Mazda is going to be pissed a $449 CPU kind of destroys his $700 CPU.

LTT has been right after they started using their lab
Thank for calling out 79xx 3D
friends thanking me to wait for 7800X 3D rn since he just games.
glad he didnt get scammed by amd marketing

Hi Mazda. You know you're reading this. No matter how much you want to try and convince yourself that the 3D AMD Zen 4 CPU's are inferior to Raptor Lake, they're not. The 7800X3D is now officially the fastest gaming CPU in existence followed by a close 2nd with the 7950X3D. It's only about a 5 FPS difference between the two on average. No matter what you say, both still outperform your 13900ks overclocked and stupid memory timings.

So far I got 40+k in cinebench
what cpu do you have?

13900ks at 5.8 p core rn
I wanna do e cores and cache next but I wanna play some games rn
storm osprey
nice, im still sitting on my 10700k
nocturne drift
10700k is good tho
storm osprey
no complaints, especially since im not exactly gaming much right now either
nocturne drift
yeah now after building this pc I realize I dont game much anymore

i had a daughter at the beginning of the year, so thats my excuse
