Best High End CPUs (Other than 7800X3D)

[ZachsTechTurf]

Which high end CPU do you think has the best value right now?

[ojas_kothekar]

Damn, 1100$ for a 7800X3D? thats more expensive than my current pc

[JustHavinfun_]

I got the 7800x3D for my pc right before the price went up- so thankful!!

[wildgator]

I'm rolling with a 5800x3d and a 7900XTX. My 6900XT had issues but they couldn't find any replacements, so they just upgraded me. Pretty happy at the moment.

[Yaarek]

Well personally I would match with 7900x. It’s such a beautiful number match. 😅

[genesis_junior]

And let's not forget about the 5700X3D and the 5800X3D if you already own an AM4 platform. They are still very powerful.

[BruceWaynge]

The 7600X3D from Micro Center is really good and almost on par with 7800X3D performance for only $299 but if not then i'd also say 7700X or 7900X3D

[onegg]

Wow. So I was very lucky to snag a 7800x3d a couple months ago, huh!? It’s wild how scarce and expensive they are.

[LsWnSk]

So so so happy I bought my 7800x3d literally the day before the crazy shortages

[crusty]

I would honestly recommend just getting a 7600 or 7600X for most people. It is massively cheaper and does not show major FPS losses in most games compared to the 7800x3D

[MrKeKokilla]

Im lucky enough to have a micro center right down the road and was able to get the 7800X3D bundle with the ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming motherboard, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit for only $599 today. I grabbed it as soon as I saw it because I knew it would be all gone in a day or two. Thank god for micro center

Good news, Intel has fixed the 13/14th Gen instability problem

[lvaItix]

I got a new i9-13900K tray for €318 at an auction, and my GPU is a used RX 7900 XTX for €850. I really recommend buying used. Yes, I know there’s no warranty, but you often hear that sellers don’t accept returns even with a warranty. You can save a lot of money this way. Just make sure not to buy really old stuff—it’s worked for me for years without any problems.

Very happy with my Ryzen 9 7900 non-X. it has the same TDP as the new-gen 9900X and performance is good for the price.

[NotAveryInterestingChannel]

Can you do a 1250 dollar aesthetic build

[_TheBoss]

Zach, do you have any tips for making your own pc building business

[joemorgan]

An I7-13700K is a great choice. Yes I know but the microcode has arrived.

[divineserenity]

the 9800X3D😮thats gonna be a bad mamma jamma

[Mattaiu]

So happy I snagged a 7800 X3D before the price skyrocketed

[CompleteRandomness-nenn]

Got a 7900x3d for $329 during a sale. Seeing as it isn't going to be holding me back any time soon, im pretty happy.
