Asked By TechSavvyNinja42 On

Hey everyone! I'm taking the leap to build my first PC and could really use some advice. My budget is around $2500 to $3000, and I plan to play FPS games. I'm considering a Ryzen 5 9600X paired with an RX 7800 XT. Do you think I should stick with this CPU or look for something else? Also, I'm thinking of getting the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR5 motherboard—any thoughts on that?

With a budget like that, you could easily opt for a 9800X3D along with a 9070 XT or even a 5070 Ti. Those combos should give you a good performance boost!

In some regions, the GPU market is pretty crazy; I snagged a 4060 Ti for €550! Pricing can be all over the place.

In my area, the prices are nuts—9800X3D is about $657.82, 9070 XT is around $781.53, and 5070 Ti is even $1056.13!

The 7800 XT and 9600X are solid together, though they might not fit perfectly within that budget. But overall, they should work well for gaming!

In my country, the CPU prices are almost double, so I totally get your concern!

You might want to consider the 7800X3D as an upgrade. I’d also suggest looking at the 9800X3D paired with either a 9070 XT or similar. The market can really vary depending on where you live, though!

It’s still about $530 for that, so consider your options.

Here's a couple of extra tips:

1. Don’t skimp on the power supply; it's a critical component that you don’t want to cheap out on. Make sure to get one from a reliable brand and have some extra wattage for future upgrades.

2. Choose a motherboard that can support your needs for the long term. If you plan on keeping your CPU for a while, make sure the motherboard can handle upgrades like more NVMe storage.

You'll likely want to increase storage or RAM down the line, and a good PSU will last you through multiple builds!

I kind of disagree about the PSU. They don't always survive upgrades since newer components can use more power. I upgraded from 550W and I've already had to go to 750W—might even need 1000W soon!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll make sure to look into a quality PSU.
