If budget is a major consideration when building a low-cost gaming rig, one of the best ways to get the most bang for your buck right now is with a great value gaming CPU like the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D. It’s pretty easy to get an affordable AM4 motherboard, and the cost of some DDR4 RAM isn’t worth much either, so you can put together a complete gaming rig for a reasonable price.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is currently at its lowest price ever on Amazon, costing just $192. With Amazon Prime Day just a few weeks away, now might be a good time to check out some of the components needed to build a budget gaming PC and bookmark them on Amazon to see if they’re on sale.
For more details and test benchmarks on this CPU, check out our Ryzen 7 5700X3D review. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D’s performance is pretty close to that of the popular 5800X3D, the best 5000-series gaming CPU to date. The 5700X3D is very similar to the 5800X3D in that it also packs eight cores and 16 threads and features the same impressive vertical 3D V-Cache design with 96MB of L3 cache, but with slightly less performance.
The Ryzen 7 5700X3D has a base clock of 3GHz and a maximum boost clock of 4.1GHz. Combined with its 96MB of L3 cache from the stacked 3D V-Cache, this is a solid performer when it comes to gaming.
