The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best 8-core, 16-thread gaming CPU on the market, so no one is going to hold it against you if its $479 price, which is the actual MSRP, appears attractive to you, especially when the desktop processor was available for astronomical sums a couple of months ago. However, value-oriented system builders who want to save every buck as possible will find the Ryzen 7 7800X3D a better option, especially when now, it is available at $399 on the online retailer.
The best thing about this deal is that the logistics and shipping is being handled by Amazon, and not some third-party seller who will likely attempt to con buyers by attaching a discount on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D then immediately ghost them. If you have all the parts in place to build your new gaming PC, you will probably ignore the processor and motherboard bundle that is also discounted on Amazon, but if you have not acquired it, then you might want to pay attention to these details.
Currently, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and MSI’s PRO B650-P Wi-Fi ProSeries motherboard bundle is going for $589.99 thanks to a 16 percent discount. The motherboard offers a ton of storage expansion, memory support of up to 256GB, and a robust VRM layout just in case you become bold enough to start overclocking the chip, though that will not be necessary. If you have ever owned an AMD CPU with the ‘X3D’ branding, then you will know what exactly you are in store for, and if you have never experienced this lineup, you wished that you had gone for this upgrade sooner.
