If building a PC for gaming, performance is really just limited by the GPU now. This is a powerful CPU and great deal, but would be wasted on games unless you have a $700+ card. If your budget is closer to $300-500 for a GPU, a Ryzen 5600 (~$120) + 16GB DDR4 ram (~$60) would perform the same for gaming.

7700X (8 Cores/12 Threads) + two sticks of ram which totals 32GB DDR5-6000 = $344
If you get the 7600X package and are NOT planning on buying another stick of ram for dual-channel, then you should go with the 7600X package. This setup is honestly fine in my opinion for most productivity stuff and gaming (unless it's more serious/needs more power).
On the other hand, if you ever want dual-channel RAM + more longevity then the 7700X is hands down the better deal. One stick of 16GB DDR5 would cost you probably around $70? At that point, you'd be paying for $248 + $70 = $318 for a 7600X and 32GB dual channel RAM. That's $26 cheaper than the 7700X.
Helpful vids:
- DDR5 RAM speed doesn't affect gaming too much (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPTGQkY
- 7600X vs 7700X = Ties in some games but 7700X fares better in games that use more cores + will be more "future proof" as games being to utilize more cores. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LNQhHy
Its several things coming together.
Many upgraded during COVID so they have a newer system already. On top of that you don't see the gains you use to. I remember when you went from 1 socket to another there were 30%+ gains plus ability to over clock and many useful features.
Now you might get 10% but only in certain task. So not much reason to upgraded for just 1 Gen change.
I went from a 2700x to a 5600x. That was a good difference. But I will wait for the next update before thinking of upgrading now.
All that and people afraid of the economy and you get all these parts starting to pile up.
Its why we're now seeing video cards start dropping in price.
If you need a system a new CPU with memory is a great deal, esp for socket AM5 which will have some upgrade path.
The torture, the sweet sweet torture. I'm glad someone gets to enjoy their deals.
