The whole budget goes up in flames for AM5 when doing an ITX build lol
Edit.... Mmm taxes... LOL
I know, I am looking at ~300$ for MB alone. Trying to stay under $800 for MB + cpu + ram, 64gb(2×32) preferably, because itx has only 2 slots. Still have few weeks till holiday season. Hopefully, something will come up.
BTW this cpu is 349 at Microcenter. I know not everyone has o e nearby, but if you do, this combo is about on par with MC prices, few bucks cheaper, but nothing mouthwatering...

Yes that type of build will go hard for the next 4-5 years easy.

I've been strongly considering buying either an rtx 4080/4090 laptop, or else building a 7800x3d rig. I'd been looking almost exclusively at 32GB 10ns 30 cas kits. Also been feeling a little fomo for not jumping ASAP on the $350 7800x3d deals last month. If the added CPU cache minimizes stalls when calling back to main memory, I might jump on this deal.
EDIT: I did a bit of digging and the early returns suggest that the quoted post above is FALSE.
I'll continue digging through forums/Reddit/reviews/etc, but the the usual gains/caveats with AMD/ram appear to be intact. Remember the 800 lbs gorilla that is Intel. AMD et al have much smaller validation/compatibility testing. YMMV. Cliff notes version:
- your #1 goal should be to get 6000 mHz ram (or faster). Just like the old Pentium 4 era and most cpus since, memory throughput is top priority over lower latency. This deal nails that so if you want frugal and easy, this combo is great.
- don't rely on EXPO. It can be great when it works, but better performance AND stability are often achieved via manual timings.
- On a game-by-game basis, lower latency/cas can be highly beneficial. I'll repeat that. Some programs/games will not care that you paid for top dollar ram. Others, including some games, will show significant gains (particularly 1-5% lows). Aim for cas 30 or 32; avoid slower timings unless you are saving a huge chunk of $ in exchange for slower timings.
- buy only 2 sticks of ram, preferably single-sided ram for better stability (especially true if running 4 sticks). This one is the most dubious suggestion so far, but historically is true for all PCs including Intel systems.
- do your own research, run stability/stress tests soon after building your system, and don't be afraid to swap for a different ram kit. AMD has a long history of being more fickle about ram.
Main thing above is that this deal is very slick since the ram combo hits 6000 mHz. Solid bang-for-the-buck with big gains for low cash outlay. In my case, I'd get significantly less bang-for-the-buck splurging for 10ns cas 30-32 ram.
