if you have the money, upgrading to am5 would be a better choice

No am5 is great and if anything it just gives you a upgrade path

#

My only thing is that I play classic wow, league of legends, BG3, hogwarts legacy like I really don't NEED it at all

summer egret
#

if you have a cheaper budget i'd recommend the r5 7600x it's a little better than the 5900x and it isnt a downgrade

#

right know on amazon it's $230

charred wedge
#

Yeah I just don't want to upgrade again..

#

I already have a solid CPU cooler, case, 4tb m.2 I just bought. So I would only need mobo, cpu, ram, gpu

summer egret
#

you don't have to to be fair, the 5900x is a great cpu

charred wedge
#

I more so meant upgrade from the 7600x to the 7800x3d I almost feel like going x3d right away is the move

summer egret
#

if you have the budget go for it

charred wedge
#

Again I don't need the upgrade, I just figured if I'm already buying a new mobo maybe having an upgrade path and selling "high" on my 5900x used iks a smart move.

#

if you are gaming in 4k though, it might be better to give a little upgrade to your gpu, the 7800x3d is still a beast cpu

#

3440x1440 144hz UW

summer egret
#

that works

#

i'd say if you don't really need the upgrade, 5900x is fine

charred wedge
#

Yeah I'm just thinking of going to new platform and getting on it while old stuff is worth more and since I have to buy a new mobo anyhow..

#

If you live near a microcenter you can get a 7700x + ram + mobo for $400

I don't unfortunately. Do they ship with that deal? Sounds insane.

#

No ram included though

#

7600x + B650e

charred wedge
#

#

I do need a matx though

whole hedge
#

Oh okay

#

Pro RS then

#

Or the Pro RS non-wifi

#

personally, i'd go with the asrock mobo. they're killing it with latest gen amd

charred wedge
#

Looks like about $528 for a 7700x, asrock board, and new ram so I'd pay like $150 on top ish

#

nearest is like 10+ hours away

wicked prism
#

ah, fuck

charred wedge
#

Apparently there is a crazy deal going on, but it says sold out online.

wicked prism
#

not showing as soldout online for this one

#

but $399 for this bundle

ah, that case is handy as it will take matx and itx mobo's as well as it will do atx and sfx psu

#

though tbh, if you're doing a sleeper build it should be in something like an older dell optiplex case

charred wedge
#

Well I have an old beige 2000 case that I'm gonna build in but my current is sama IM 01

#

Does the bundle let you do any MATX boards?

wicked prism

#

Hmm, I wish there was. Was gonna have family that lives about an hour from a microcenter buy and ship to me.

So I have a family member that can purchase the microcenter bundle and ship to me. On top of that they are having a $50 off sale for 3 days. Do I go for the 7700x bundle or 7800x3d for $100 more?

whole hedge
#

If so, then yes

charred wedge
# whole hedge Are you gaming?

My pc is for Home use, WFH, casual, and less demanding gaming. 80% of it's gaming though when not doing WFH which isn't super demanding

#

I could even get the 7900x bundle as well for $549. I just want to have it make sense
