Community Reviews

This bundle centers on a top-end Ryzen 7 9850X3D paired with an ASUS PRIME RTX 5070 and a Rosewill 850W Gold power supply, making it attractive for a high-performance gaming build. The CPU is praised as the fastest gaming chip, and the 5070 is framed as a strong 1440p card where X3D processors shine. The main concern is balance, since the CPU is seen as overkill for the GPU, especially at 4K. It also leaves out the rest of the build, so motherboard, cooler, RAM, and storage still add a lot to the total.

Common Questions (3)

  • You still need a CPU cooler, motherboard, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB M.2 drive to complete the system. Those added parts can push the total close to $2k if you are rebuilding an older case.

  • It is a strong 1080p/1440p gaming pairing because the 5070 is a 1440p card and X3D CPUs shine most at those resolutions. At 4K, the GPU matters much more than the CPU, so the setup becomes less balanced.

  • Yes, the high-end CPU can make sense if you want to upgrade graphics cards later without replacing the processor again. It is a common buy-once, keep-for-multiple-GPU-upgrades approach.

Today's "bundles" make no sense. Generally a generational "upgrade" of a CPU requires a new motherboard and often new ram. They might as well throw in a 12 pack of single ply toilet paper.
Agreed. In today's world, your proc deal needs to come with ram and your motherboard deal needs to come with more ram. Otherwise, ram will kill your entire build every time

The 5070 is a 1440p card and the x3d CPUs shine the most in 1080/1440p gaming. At 4k the cpu matters very little compared to the gpu so I think it's a decent pairing.
then what is a decent pairing to a 5090? the 1 trillionX3D?
the CPU will shine the most at ANY resolution, it is not bound by it.... the 5070 will perform terrible at 4K
this is why it's an imbalanced setup

the CPU and GPU combo is extremely imbalanced, the CPU is overkill compared to the GPU
You're not wrong, but having that cpu means you can go up on gpu without worrying about losing anything later

What? I'm confused? You only removed the ryzen in the second comparison
The title was edited. When I made the suggestion originally it only said AMD 9850X3D. Now I know in the future not to make these suggestions as to not look like a fool ex post.

Lots of people buy a cpu to last several graphics cards. Generally you want to account for that on initial build
