I'm considering buying a 5500X3D that I found on AliExpress at a reasonable price since the 5700X3D and 5600X3D are being sold at inflated prices. I primarily play competitive shooters in 1080p, and I also found a 7800 XT at a good price. Will this combo work well together?

The 5500X3D is a solid choice for gaming, especially when paired with a GPU like the 7800 XT. I got mine on AliExpress for about $150, and honestly, for gaming in your price range, you won't find a better AM4 upgrade. It should handle your 1080p competitive games quite nicely!

That's awesome to hear! Have you done any stress testing on your CPU? I'm curious if it runs smoothly.
