Any fast AM4 gaming CPU (X3D preferred obviously!)

Trading Post Looking to Buy

Looking to breathe new life into my grandpa AM4 PC.

Please let me know if anyone has a decent AM4 processor (5600 and better) :folded_hands:

Clarification: not really looking for workstation CPUs unless the price is very reasonable.

Hereā€™s my order of preference:

  1. Any X3D CPU
  2. 5600
  3. Any other CPU for a great price

I have a 5900x on sale,would more than decent upgrade.

I have an 5800x for sale. Let me know if interested, May 2024 billed., asking 13999

I appreciate the responses. Weighing all my options before pulling the trigger on any of those, as AM4 is EOL and I canā€™t justify spending too much on a non-X3D chip, but Iā€™ve not made up my mind either way. Iā€™ll keep this open for a while before making a decision.

If you go with AM5 setup you can get under 30-35k. All 3 components like CPU, RAM and Mobo.

Iā€™m not sure what you mean. The 7800X3D alone is ~35k. Thereā€™s no point in cheaping out if I go AM5 anyway. Right now Iā€™m just looking for a good CPU to keep my AM4 guy going for a few more years.

@bssunilreddy is talking about getting a 7600/x processor which can be done in 30-35k mark. It is somewhat on par with X3D processors if you count the average of multiple games together.
Benefit of going with AM5 would be an easy upgrade in the future with something like 7800X3D or another X3D processor that may launch in future on the AM5 platform. AMD has committed to supporting the AM5 platform with new CPUs through at least 2027. DDR5 has also reached maturity so itā€™s not a bad time to upgrade to AM5.

If you can still get a 5700X3D or 5800X3D for good price then go for it. Not everybody wants to shell out big bucks for what is basically a processor upgrade.

Oh yeah, Iā€™m well aware. And I technically ā€œhaveā€ an AM5 system I built for my cousin. In return he gave me his 2017 build since I donā€™t game much anymore. Problem is it has a 1600 which is pathetic even for my needs.

What kind of games are you planning to play on this system? Which gpu will you pair it with?

Guys, I appreciate everyone trying to be helpful, but Iā€™m not a noob when it comes to PC building :sweat_smile: Iā€™d be much obliged if we can keep the discussion limited to trade posts. Thanks!
