Agnostic - Screams at 4 gen's of Intel, is 5700X3D Worth It?

[nomdeplume]

Still I agree a 5700X3D I'd rather have than a 12400F but I'd rather have a 7600 based system over both of those.... I actually have one so that makes sense I guess lol....

Interesting, are we still talking about something that gets turned on just for gaming. Or encompassing the entire world of things X3D compromised abilities in.

My $.02 if you need a DDR4 Ryzen platform fast without breaking the bank too much while not giving up on quality of life features go for the 5700X3D with a ROG Strix B550-E or -XE. Despite B550 chipset, they are premium motherboards.

12900KS would probably be my target if I was justifying a higher end build. More than most I suspect you (forgive me if this doesn't translate well) put all your eggs into one basket. Desires to have something unique and a bit special are at the root of my indecision. In the absence of something personally fulfilling to interact with it gets increasingly harder to avoid noticing the large downsides.

Piece by piece every component going through a transformation into boutique product cycles that offer little over a solid plain and functional design.
I've no interests supporting this business practice. Though I would like to eventually replace some hardware that is holding back reasonable uses.
Fun rarely if ever equates with unaffordable to all but a few in my view.

I think he is pointing more towered upgrade ability over the other two platforms. With AM4, once you go with the 5700X3D, there will be no other upgrade path, well at least for now.

12900KS would probably be my target if I was justifying a higher end build.

Look at my system spec's.. I would not recommend it for a gamming only platform as it's a space heater and the 7600 is within any ware of 1% to 5% of the 12900K in gaming, just look at TPU's graphs. (I use my 12900K system for engineering work as well and I am at the point I need a Quadro card for what I am doing now.)

This is why I am in the buying stages of an AM5 7500F build since I have the money now from selling my 12700 ITX rig. I am going to pull my RX7900XT from my current rig and see how it does. If it runs cooler, quieter and as fast as my current 12900K system, I will keep it and replace the 7500F down the road with an 7800X3D CPU or whatever the next 3D CPU is. I got the Ideal for this build form this video.

In your case, you just need the CPU, Motherboard and Ram. Which will save you allot, and you can sell your old parts to gain a few more dollars towered other upgrades as needed.

These aren't the cheapest but they are exceptionally well supported, ran my previous 5950X build on the -E and I believe @freeagent has a 5900X build on the XE, he can attest it's a lovely board. If those are too expensive still there's the -F II, which will lose the debug code reader and some power stages.

The XE is the most flexible AM4 B550 board. It is the basis of my Daughter's PC. i doubt you would be able to find one today though.

Sttrix XE is the B550 Dark Hero, it is a badass board. 1933 1:1 stable on my X3D, my DH cant even do that
