Having only reported on the low price of the recently released AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D just last week, the cost of this amazing value gaming CPU has dropped even further to a new lowest-ever price on Amazon. It’s not the latest generation of CPUs, but the 5000 series X3D range of processors are still some of the best-performing pure gaming CPUs available at this low price. With the affordable cost of AM4 motherboards and DDR4 RAM, the opportunity to build a fantastic-performing budget gaming rig is easily within reach.
You can purchase the newAMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D for a new low of $209 from Amazon. It’s now over $94 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with only a small decrease in performance. Pair this with a budget AM4 board, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a cost-effective GPU such as a Radeon 6700 XT and you will have a great-performing gaming PC for a very reasonable price. Switch up the GPU for a newer RTX 4060 Ti if you want to beef up the frames and use DLSS and ray tracing.
The Ryzen 7 5700X3D is a trimmed-down version of the popular5800X3D, with around 5-10% performance drop. The 5700X3D still packs 8 cores and 16 threads and has the same impressive 3D V-Cache vertical design with 96MB of L3 cache, so its gaming performance is still excellent in the price bracket.
