What CPU for RX 7800XT that costs under 250$?

[supple dirge]

well you cant get a motherboard, cpu, ram, case, cooler, PSU, and other for 250$

[cedar shadow]

well i mean

just the cpu

[brisk ice]

Your country?

[cedar shadow]

germany

[supple dirge]

you still need the rest of the pc

[cedar shadow]

i know

i just mean the cpu 250$

[supple dirge]

your budgeting the pc that way aren't you

[cedar shadow]

my budget is 900$

lol

i just only wanna upgrade

[supple dirge]

do you already have the gpu?

also what specs do you have now?

[cedar shadow]

cuz my old pc uses gtx 1080 and i7 4790k

[cedar shadow]

nope

[supple dirge]

what is the total budget?

[cedar shadow]

i only wanna spend 900$ i didnt find anything. i only guranteed want to have the rx 7800xt

[brisk ice]

You shouldn’t really budget like that in a build. Aim for a nice and balanced build that’s decently good all-around.

[cedar shadow]

the gpu for me is only 480€

[brisk ice]

In terms of CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.

[cedar shadow]

im sure i dont want a cpu that costs almost the same as my gpu

[supple dirge]

the issue is a 12100f is good enough to do a 4090, but its up to what you want to do with the pc and res

[cedar shadow]

i already have a pc case, fans and liquid cooler

[supple dirge]

the cooler is not compatible

[cedar shadow]

hm

then ill just get a cpu fan

[brisk ice]

Make a PCPP list. Plug in what you’re wanting to move over from your old build and set them to purchased/0€

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/

[supple dirge]

the stock fan with a 7600 is more then good enugh

[cedar shadow]

i dont know all my old parts

😭

im 15 and my dad gave me this pc like 6 years ago

[supple dirge]

what is the PSU?

[cedar shadow]

thats the only thing i do not know

im also going to buy a new psu

750w

[brisk ice]

So… a new 900 euro build from scratch?

[cedar shadow]

lemme see

lemme fill it in

can yall tell me what cpu to get for my rx 7800xt that is 250$ max??

so i can fill it in

i just want to know which cpu

[supple dirge]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/mzjGBL

[cedar shadow]

oh

[supple dirge]

use this list

its way over budget

[brisk ice]

That’s not within the 900 limit. He’s going to have to cut down elsewhere. You also don’t know if he’s got a mATX case or not.

[supple dirge]

but its not worth using less then this on a new pc at least not at this price point

[cedar shadow]

my pc case is miditower

[supple dirge]

im just going with that case as he can sell the entire computer

[brisk ice]

Do you know your motherboard?

[supple dirge]

tbh its more worth it to just sell the entire old pc and then go for the one in the list

[supple dirge]

its a 4th gen one

[cedar shadow]

yeah my cpu is i7 4790k i got an old ass motherboard

[supple dirge]

yup

[supple dirge]

might be able to go under if we use the case and PSU

[cedar shadow]

im sure my psu is ass because my pc randomly crashes in games

[supple dirge]

xd

thats not how it works

[cedar shadow]

u sure?

[supple dirge]

well it can but its so uncommon its not a issue

what code dose it give you?

[cedar shadow]

my cpu is not broken or my gpu. i even did some benchmarks

[cedar shadow]

i dont remember lol

[supple dirge]

did only do it once?

[cedar shadow]

it happened like 14 times

i have that since some months

it didnt have it a year ago

[supple dirge]

probs a dying boot drive

[cedar shadow]

nah im sure its fine

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/zzsKJy

is this good

i already have the rest

[brisk ice]

Dude, you’re better off going AM5 and cutting down on your GPU

Just as a long term thing

[supple dirge]

that cpu is the best one you can get for gaming on am4 and its about the same performance as the 7600 in my list

[cedar shadow]

im not tryna go futureproof

[supple dirge]

also

[supple dirge]

you cant

futureproofing is not real

[cedar shadow]

i know

[cedar shadow]

why should i cut down my gpu

the gpu is great at its price

[supple dirge]

am4 is on its last leg and now has the best cpues that will come to it, and one of the worst cpues on am5 is dam close to it in performance

[cedar shadow]

beats the 4070 without raytracing

[cedar shadow]

do you think am5 is very important?

[supple dirge]

well im on am5

so yes

am4 still has its place

but only if you go used

[cedar shadow]

i dont wanna buy used stuff

i never got a very new pc

and i wanna exprience it once

am5 is only good if you tryna upgrade soon right? @supple dirge

[supple dirge]

nope

[brisk ice]

The thing with am4 is that if you get a top of the line AM4 system, the only real meaningful upgrade is by investing more into a platform change.

[supple dirge]

am5 has the best cpu you can get for gaming and the best consumer cpu for most workstation tasks

[brisk ice]

If you buy AM5 now, sure your gaming performance won’t exactly be the same, but you have room to upgrade to higher performing parts in the future, and it’ll cost less as well long term.

[cedar shadow]

i would go am5 but that means i have to spend more on the ram

[supple dirge]

ofc

[brisk ice]

So you should cut down, get a 7700xt. That’s plenty of performance.

[cedar shadow]

ok yall changed my mind

[cedar shadow]

actually

im increasing my budget

to 1.1k

[supple dirge]

btw are you at 1080p?

[cedar shadow]

yep but i want a overkill gpu so it can last long

im looking most at performance

[brisk ice]

Do you need wifi?

Or bluetooth?

[cedar shadow]

nah i use lan

i dont need bluetooth too

[supple dirge]

tbh this list might be best, and just do not buy the psu and case

[cedar shadow]

is there maybe a little better cpu than the 7600 there

i would spend mostly 250-300 for a cpu

is 7700x good?

its 289

[supple dirge]

its about the same in gaming performance

if you try wish to then why not, core scalling aint great with am5 so goin with more cores dose not give a big increase in fps

[cedar shadow]

and what about 7600x

[brisk ice]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/4mjGBL

Getting a 7700/7700x wont net you very much in gaming performance. Only a select few games give you a “noticable” difference.

[supple dirge]

x and non x performance is like 1-2%

[cedar shadow]

that looks great

but thats a finished pc

i dont really need a pc case

hmm

actually

i think

thats perfect

i might buy it like that

[supple dirge]

why cl36?

[brisk ice]

Because if I went CL30, that’s over 1.1k euros. CL30 to CL36 barely translates into a meaningful gaming difference.

[supple dirge]

it dose show meaningful differences when you consider its 20€

no wait

[cedar shadow]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Bfckvj is that good (and yes i know i picked 7600x and not 7600)

[supple dirge]

anyways this is my take on the build

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/27Jwt7

[supple dirge]

A amd mobos are pretty bad

nv2 is a known problematic nvme drive

[cedar shadow]

ohh

[supple dirge]

i say go with this list, its within budget and its easy to upgrade

[cedar shadow]

ok

i will

now i have to save up 6 months lol

[supple dirge]

with a good storage drive and ram it will only really need more storage once you start to downloads and use the pc and then ofc a new cpu or gpu but the pc is more then fine and is pretty darn powerfull as it is

[supple dirge]

ffs

[cedar shadow]

what does ffs mean

[supple dirge]

for f (bad word) sake

[cedar shadow]

oh yeah

[supple dirge]

aka we have a bit too many who want a list now but will build it in like you half a year or sometimes 1-2 years

once their is new hardwear and prices are lower

[cedar shadow]

im actually really patient

do you think its bad to make a list before you buy a pc for like some months?

[supple dirge]

yup

ryzen 9000X3D will come out next month

[cedar shadow]

well atleast ive learned something

[supple dirge]

yeah

[cedar shadow]

then i will get 7800x3d if it gets to 300€ (its 450€ rn for me)

[supple dirge]

yeah the 7800X3D is very over hyped

[cedar shadow]

alright thanks for helping
