Not the latest and greatest but I have a similar setup with 32gb vram from dual gpus and 64gb ram for a poor man's local llm hosting. Gets around 60tps from Qwen3.5 35B which is not bad at all

They do, just not for the US market

Though not necessarily cost-effective options these days you can indeed find plenty of 5500X3D models via eBay.

Good luck!

Please consider updating the primary listing to indicate that the CPU includes the Prism Wraith cooler.

Good luck!

Same price as for months. Same price as the better for gaming, 7500X03D a week ago. $250 would be a deal here, no more.

For comparison, Newegg's equivalent "deal" is $419.99

I would pay $50 more for the 7500x3d combo at Microcenter. Better processor, faster ram, better MB, has a USBC front panel connector, and has a better upgrade path.

1 ram stick is not a big hit on DDR5.

Just want to remind everybody that 5800x, which is what this based on, is about 6 year's old. When was the last time you bought a 6-years-old processor?

March of this year: I bought two (2) new in box AMD 3000G CPUs.

Good luck!
