Verdict — Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Displaced by the 9800X3D at the top of gaming charts, but only barely and often for less money. Excellent choice if the 9800X3D is out of stock or priced badly.
Verdict — Ryzen 5 5600
Aging platform (AM4 is EOL for new sockets) but this specific chip is still fantastic value. Pair with a used B550 board and 16 GB DDR4 for a shockingly capable budget gamer.
