Just give us back 5800x3d lol More on reddit.com

Halloween is right around the corner, as well as Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Probably a good time if you can't wait until Boxing Day/Christmas sales to start. Anyway. What is the most graphically intense game that you will be playing now? What resolution do you want to play at? Do you already have a monitor you will be using or are you replacing it as well? These are the things you need to know when sourcing out components, especially with only $1,000 budget in todays market. A GPU is half that. More on reddit.com

If you want something to explain the desktop: first number = gen. 1-5 is AM4, >7 is AM5 Eg: 5xxx is zen 3 and on AM4, 7xxx is zen 4 and on AM5 (Exceptions: 4xxx is garbage, 6xxx has been skipped, 8xxx are just laptop zen 4 CPUs with decent IGPU’s for too much money) I wouldn’t go anything lower than ryzen 3000. If possible, I would get AM5 for the platform longevity. I would also wait till August 15th for ryzen 8000 to at least drop prices on older CPU’s. Second number = tier. Typically means more cores or faster per cores Eg. 76xx has 6 cores, 77xx has 8 cores. For gaming, go for x6xx if you are more on a budget(we will get into the best gaming CPUs later). For productivity, go for the biggest number possible for moar cores. Third and forth numbers: fluff numbers Time for letters: X = slightly more expensive and slightly faster versions of the normal versions. Also, may not include the loud stock cooler. Also sometimes the only options G = has a decent IGPU. Are just reheated laptop GPU’s and slower than desktop CPUs(5600g is much slower than 5600(x)) Exception: Ryzen 7000+(excluding ones with and F designation) have some shitty IGPUS good enough to turn on the system and do debugging. X3D = has more cache. You don’t need to know what that means, all you need to know is that is provides basically next gen gaming performance at the cost of some productivity losses.(5800x3d ～ 7700(x)) Exception: 7800x3d has 8 3d vcache cores(8 gaming cores). 7900x3d has 6 3d vcache cores(6 gaming cores) and 6 normal(productivity cores)cores. 7950x3d has 8 3d vcache cores, and 8 normal cores. Tldr: Super budget: 3600(x) Budget: 5600(x), 5600g if you don’t have a gpu Mid range: 7500f(only on aliexpress), 7600(x), 7700(x) High end: 7800x3d(gaming), 7950x(productivity), 7950x3d(best of both worlds) Hopes this mess helps you. If you have any questions, ask away! I would also go ask for help on r/buildapcforme More on reddit.com

We're all waiting for 9800x3d. If anyone at AMD thought we woudn't be waiting they should be fired. More on reddit.com
