What amazes me is how more expensive most of these CPU's are in Europe.

[Rob_]

I just picked up a 5700X3D for $179 at Micro center. Staying on AM4 for a little while longer. Such a great deal

[catsspat]

Living close to a MicroCenter is like having a life cheat code.

[zetaalpha]

Currently Newegg has the 7600X cpu with a 1TB Kingston NV3 PCIE4 NVMe drive included for ~ $194...

[Pembroke]

Happy thanksgiving everyone from your friends from 🇨🇦🦃🦃🍺

[turtuhl]

Love that your content is so direct (and funny). No babble, just facts and opinions. Thanks Paul!!

[krinniv]

Should be mentioned that the 7600x3d at microcenter has a bundle for 450 for cpu + mobo + ram; pretty solid deal

[eric]

I lucked out and picked up my 9800X3D yesterday. Just started my build today. I'm pretty hyped for it.

[aaron]

The F SKUs seem like a useful idea conceptually until you get to pricing, and the value just never seem to be there. 16:10 seemed to be the worst, where you have to pay $1 more to get no iGPU, but even most of the time it feels like F SKUs are never discounted enough from non-F to justify losing the iGPU.

[apocalypta]

Been running my 14700k since launch. Undervolted and adjusted power settings to minimal but stable and stock clocks. Could not be more satisfied with this cpu.

[jaymate]

I'm still rocking my 5800x3d with a 6800xt, doing great still, absolutely no need to upgrade

[Invid]

My 5800X3D is approaching 2 years old now. Easily one of the best tech purchases I've ever made. There are faster chips but I'm still GPU bound in everything I play.

[Tech-Tempest]

So happy I got the 7950x3D for $500 in August at Microcenter. I do architectural visualization 3D renderings in Maya/Vray and with Unreal Engine along with gaming on my downtime. It's truly the best all arounder.

[TheBigGeordieGeek]

A couple of weeks ago I grabbed a 5700X3D from Amazon for £180, and its a big improvement on my 5600X just smoothing out the lows

[robtrombino]

Good list, but . . . you forgot to mention the 7700x for under $300 which is very competitive in gaming, and very good at productivity. I think it kind of hits a sweet spot. Thanks.

[TooBokoo]

I just picked up a 9800X3D for $439 at Micro Center with a motherboard bundle. Talk about a screamin deal! I probably didn't need to upgrade as I had a 5900X, but I was excited to move to DDR5, too!

[xzerokillx]

Walmart has in-store only 7800x3d for 399.99 if ur lucky enough to have a walmart that carries pc parts

[jckeX]

Loving the summary review videos!
When we getting the next build fix? I think I have an upgrade well organized but I might not, so your advise would be awesome!

[MrEricmopar]

I just bought a 5900X for about $229 at Newegg. I bought the 5900X and 32gb of Kingston DDR4 3600MT Ram for a total of $311 including shipping.

[SpoonWithSoup]

I recently picked up an i5 12600KF that came with a GIGABYTE Z790 S WIFI motherboard, 16GB of DDR4, and a Be Quiet cooler for $200! My plan is to pair it with either a 3060 or 3060ti since I think they're the best price for performance cards available right now
