I think the strike price on this is $130-140. I know a lot of people would disagree. The problem is the Zen 4 CPU's are getting the 3D v-cache in a little more than a week. That means the pricing pressure on the 5800x3D CPU will be headed down as well. AMD is masterful at selling old stuff. At $150, I think they get a lot of takers.

This is a nice chip. It's 65w. The 5800x will run hotter than this. This will be easier to cool

Anyone have a good motherboard recommendation as a pair to this? Thinking about a gaming system, but looking to keep it a budget build. I'd like to eventually upgrade to a newer full sized GPU, but planning to put a compact ASUS GTX 1660 card that I own in it for now.

Disclaimer: I'm pretty technically oriented (both hardware and software) and have experience upgrading PCs, but this would be my first PC build from scratch.

5800x3D is on a different platform, different market segment. It's been in and out of stock at $330. I think at half the price, the 5700x buyer is not the same consumer as an X3D chip. I could be wrong, but $179 is a great value for the 8 core chip. The 5700g is probably the closest competitor for PCIe3 motherboards.

I think it's more $140-$150 but otherwise I agree. I've been keeping an eye on this CPU and like how it's been trending gradually downward. It's the perfect combination of performance, features and power consumption for my needs. When it dips under $150 is when I'll probably get it. I'll just reuse the Spire cooler from my current 2600X. It won't miss it sitting in a box. I'd like to activate the PCIe 4.0 that my MB is capable of, but it requires a 3000 series or newer CPU for that. I can wait.

You're probably best off getting a B550 MB. I think they can be found in the $100 and higher range, maybe a bit cheaper. Any of the known makers should be fine, Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock, etc., whatever's cheapest and has the features you want. And it's pretty easy to build a PC and there's plenty of online advice on it. Take a look at this to start:

Both are on the same AM4 platform

The 5700G sucks. That has half the cache of the 5700x. AMD APU's suck.

I think MicroCenter has had these kind of prices or lesser already.

I've built 4 desktops from scratch. Maybe this will help. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/

Worth it from a 5600x? I'm thinking no.

No sorry you can't Frown ... they have this program they have you install that checks to see if the hardware you purchased is physically installed into the PC before they let you install the game. On top of that there are some hoops they make you jump through.. I got a free game (different one) with my amd ryzen processor purchase but initially was given an error message "too many game licenses" even when I followed their instructions... which apparently means AMD thinks you personally have redeemed too many game licenses, not that they ran out of licenses for the game to give away like I originally thought. If you follow the instructions they give you, you end up emailing their support about the problem and within 24 hours (in my case, this is the case too for other people online from what I saw) they reset it and you go through the process a second time and get your free game.. probably worth it since the game sells for $60 in my opinion Smilie though I can see how people absolutely would not want to put up with this kind of hassle.

Tom's hardware was not impressed with it

https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...cpu-review

pc gamer's reaction was also "meh"

https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-ryzen...rformance/

though I'm guessing they were reacting to the retail price and not the current $180 price you can get it at right now.

quote from the tom's hardware review

"If you're looking to upgrade an existing gaming-focused Ryzen build, the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X offers comparable gaming performance to the Ryzen 5 5700X. These chips are a much better value, but they aren't as fast in threaded workloads. As such, the Ryzen 7 5700X only makes sense if you're upgrading an older Ryzen build and need more performance in threaded workloads."

On the other hand right now the amd ryzen 5 5600x is selling for $166 from amazon so I can totally see why someone would just spend the $14 extra and get the ryzen 7 instead.

One last but really important thing.. I had a bad experience with a motherboard that went " huh?" when presented with my ryzen 5 processor and simply would not boot and from the bitter amazon reviews I'm seeing my experience was not an unusual one.. sadly you have motherboards that were built before the newer amd ryzen 5 and 7's came out that simply can't recognize the newer processors... I was told by several persons on PC hardware help forums it's definitely worth getting a motherboard that supports usb bios flash... you connect .. trying to go off memory I think it's the 24 pin power connector ... the one that gives power to the motherboard in any case on the power supply to the motherboard, no need to plug in any of the other power cables on the power supply, you have the cpu installed on the motherboard (only, that's all you need at that point in the pc build), you plug the usb drive you put the bios onto for the motherboard into the usb slot on the MB the instructions give you (different MB companies have different instructions for the process but it's easy to look up) , press a button close to that usb slot on the back panel of the motherboard that causes the bios to be flashed/installed onto the motherboard and then the MB recognizes the CPU without any difficulty .. so do your research on the MB and don't fall into the same trap I did Smilie (returned my first MB, got a second one that supported usb flash bios and no problems at all with my amd ryzen 5 , 5600x install after that)
