The one thing a AM5 board have for them right now is that if you get a decent one, chances are in 3 years you can update your CPU and won't need to change anything else. While intels next 1700 could be a dud. And then whatever comes after be the good one, of course, in another socket because intel is hell bent on making mobos obsolete as quickly as possible. If I really need to count the penies I'd go for whatever I can do on AM4, so I can then jump to a 5800X3D without having to change anything. And that alone would hold for a while longer. And although a 13900 is great, which mean that if you for a 13600, you could, in eventually upgrade to it and keep most of the same parts. You'll have to make sure to get a decent board, a good powersupply and good cooler from start so you don't have to add those. Is to damn power hungry. If upgrades considerations are gonna make me spend more on the 13600 set, so it can handle something llike a 13900 or a 14th equivalent. Might as well get the whole AM5 set. That will definitely handle whatever you throw at it generations down the line. And R7 9700 or maybe an 7 5800X3D 9000 version equivalent or an R9.
Now, I'll never have a GPU that can push those CPU to the limits, I'll probably keep my 3060 ti for years to come. So I'm eying some AM4 upgrades.

A few days ago, I bought a Ryzen 5700X (for 218 (shipment included) from Amazon Germany, because from Amazon Spain cost 238 for some reason,
and for another weird reason, Amazon Spain raised the price to the same price as the 5800X for a few hours? (268 ), weird things. ) to replace my 2700X (for an SFFPC Machine, an NCase M1 + Noctua U9S+ Additional Fan)
I had some concerns about the temperatures of the 5800X and 5900X (I use my machine for Game Development with UE4 and Software Development),
So I choose the 5700X as a safe bet for temperatures. (because a U12S maybe not will fit with my side A12x25 fans (maybe I should choose an A12x15))
And... With this video, I feel validated about my purchase (?).

Can't disagree, the 5700X is a big temptation right now in the budget++ category. Almost extreme VFM. You get an 8core/16T of an anyhow really good CPU tech that will give you a very good to long mileage , future-proof stuff, depending on your needs, and with proper temps as it's not an oven like the 5800X.
(Dunno though, with its lower PPT, how much it can scale through Curve, in contrast to the 5800oven. )
What i don't understand, is why the 5600-non X isn't also a budget recommendation. That seems as a foul.
With its current price, the 5600-non X, what you get for what you pay , extinguishes anything Intel around the 100 / mark.

Im upgrading my CPU literally yesterday, from Ryzen 5 2600 to Ryzen 7 5700X for US 205 (tax already included) on my B450 platform. The minimum performance difference in game is quite apparent. The temp increase that I'm getting used to from R5 2600 a bit worrying at first but start to accept it after a while. It's around mid 30C idle and mid 60 C max on load before. Now it's around 40C idle and A bit under 70C max. And with Uncharted Legacy as a bonus, it's kind of sweeten the deal. I love it overall and now it's become Gamer Nexus choice under best upgrade value category, so I'm quite glad not choose the wrong one to upgrade

Excellent, We justr bought TWO 13600k for updates for the wife and I in our first two builds since 2014. Glad to know the research we did early on was correct and we were better off with the 13600k vs my wifes initial choice of 12700k. What we did Is I let her begin the research and then I came along and refined her build.
The only difference between our two builds will be GPU (If you don't count the storage I am migrating from my current build) where she has a higher GPU than me as she games more than I do and I use my computer for more non gaming functions than she does.

After 3 years stuck with my AMD Radeon 5700XT GPU/ Ryzen 7 3700 CPU (mostly because of the 2nd mining craze) Chance came to me with this year black Friday, however I ended staying with AMD AM4 as current AM5 requires a new PSU, Motherboard, DDR5 Ram and they ain't cheap not to mention the AMD 7 series GPUs are not out yet so I will wait next year, maybe...
I decided to go with the AMD 5800X3D ( 330) , MSI Radeon 6800XT ( 530) and 32GB G Skill DDR4 3600 CL16 ( 160) this will make an excellent 1440p/4K +120/80 fps gaming rig, now I can fully use my 55 120Hz 4K LG OLED C10 TV :)

I really like the idea of eco mode, new technology are and should be more powerful but at lower power consumption and with greater efficiency. The nvidia 4090 consumes 450W+, but it could do exactly what it does (with a loss of 5%) with 60% of the power consumption, it would consume less that the 3090 but having a lot more performance. In my opinion they should use more the application of that eco mode, so if someone is not interested in the trade off of a lot of power consumption for 2-3%, they can just use it in a better spot of the efficiency curve.

I managed to snipe down a 299 5800X3D (new with 3 year warranty) and my God, is this CPU a beast. I don't see changing it for the next at least 2 gens of CPUs. The most impressive part about it is the absolutely monstrous numbers of 1% and 0.1% lows. It basically ALWAYS runs at average FPS. Only downside - it needs a really good cooler, but managed to find a 80 EVGA CLC 280 RGB. Absolutely astonishing deals this year on hardware. And considering stuff like rtx 3070 can already be found for under 350 used, I'm quite optimistic for the GPUs as well.

The lack of HEDT is the most disappointing issue for me. My system use is primarily higher end professional stuff - I already run on 10Gb fiber and am looking at 25Gb NICs (the optics are compatible to run 10Gb for the time being) in preparation of grabbing a 25Gb switch as soon as I can get one for not entirely crazy money. A sanely priced 24 or 32 core option with more - But not quite Pro/Epyc-numbers of - PCIe lanes is exactly what I want to buy as my next machine. At the moment neither Intel or AMD appear interested in taking my money.

Wow. I'd think the 5600X would be in the ring. The extra two cores of the 5700X don't make a difference in gaming but in productivity. For the 60 savings on the Egg, I'd think the 5600X would be a choice option for budget on AM4 for performance. But I suppose the vid isn't broken down by platform but overall. I've been running my 3700X and been wanting to go up on the AM4. Still thinking the 5600X is a best budget gaming option for it. I don't do productivity work

Amazing content as always. I do feel like the 5800X3D was snubbed though. It was maybe the most exciting part of the year, and is the best bang for the buck currently (factoring in new platform costs). Its a new kind of CPU that was a wild success, isnt insanely pricely, and is a gaming champ (which is what 90% of people are here for, literally Gamer's Nexus). Should of at least gave it an honorable mention! Anyways have a great holiday GN, always love the content!

I would have included another category: Best budget office workstation CPU , and it would have been the 5600G hands down, as it saves you buying a GPU and its video performance beats any other iGPU other than the 5700G. If you're not going to be doing hardcore gaming or hardcore number crunching, and you want to build a solid computer for cheap, this one is a no-brainer. The Amazon sales numbers don't lie.

just found a 5800X3D for 329 so I jumped on it; after tax it was 364, just above the retail prices seen elsewhere online, never mind the sales tax on top of that. doesn't look like whatever remaining stock is out there is getting any black friday sale love and I am not interested in trying to source once later. Upgrading from R7 2700 non-X. Now I need to figure out of it makes sense to upgrade from B450

I just got the R5 5500 as a replacement for my 2600 on a B450 board.
It was 90 and a drop in replacement. the 5600 has double the cache, but the PCIe gen4 advantage there is removed because of the old chipset.
For 90 , it is a decent if not great upgrade. I would go for 5600 if it was 20 more just for the cache benefit.
