Do you have a budget yet or is this just planned?

#

And what components do you already have?

honest edge
#

I would go for a 5700x3d and a 6800

#

You can find a brand new 5700X3D for 250 and a used 6800 for 250-325

honest edge
#

However

#

If budget is not a problem right now

#

An am5 switch could be justified

#

Your case, SSD, power supply are all reusable

#

That 6600xt shouldn't be a problem

#

At 1080p

Okay i will have a look at the 5700x3d, and that was my thoughts so if i went with a 7600x on an am5 system i could just keep my 6600xt and save to buy something like the 7800xt

honest edge
#

Yes option 2 seems the better choice to me

#

Personally unless you're on a very constricted budget, I wouldn't ride out AM4 longer

#

A 7600 is as cheap as chips rn

#

Thank you, exactly that it didnt make sense to me spending 200+ on a new am4 cpu when it might only support me for another 2-3 years

honest edge
#

Yup

#

Under £500 that's a full AM5 switch with RAM and a nice cooler

#

that cooler would handle a newer X3D cpu with ease

#

Also there is a motherboard £10 cheaper

#

but this one has WiFi and just looks better overall so id get it

#

Is this too expensive?

kind iron
#

No that is actually a very good combo

#

like you said full am5 switch for less than 500

honest edge
#

Okay, lmk if you need help

#

Yup

kind iron
#

and then i can just build from there

honest edge
#

I live in the UK too imagine if there was a micro center here 😭😭

kind iron
#

thank you bro is this the best ram at this price range to?

honest edge
#

400$ getting people on a full AM5 switch apart from a 30$ cooler

#

You can get slightly better ram with RGB that would overclock better

kind iron
#

and yeah the deals i see in microcenter are insane 😭

honest edge
#

But these are the best sub timings and normal latency

honest edge
kind iron
#

im not really into overclocking just plug and play 😅

honest edge
#

You'll want to enable XMP on it

#

That's it

#

AMD expo

kind iron
#

yeah i had to do that on this pc

#

to make ram run at max speeds right

honest edge
#

Yup

#

Slightly higher quality ram

#

but uhh 499.69

kind iron
#

would it make a noticable difference or just stick with the first one?

honest edge
#

Stick with the first one

kind iron
#

also for the parts that i remove from the pc would you just sell it all as a bundle?

honest edge
#

Yup

#

Defo

#

There are people who are probably on a significantly tighter budget than you

#

They could probably use that as an AM4 bundle

kind iron
#

👍 thank you for the advice much appreciated.

honest edge

np, good luck
