I'm looking to upgrade my PC, specifically the CPU, and I realize I'll likely need a new motherboard and other components. Right now, I have an RTX 3060 paired with an i3 10100F. Since most of the games I play are CPU-intensive, this upgrade is crucial. I was considering going with a 7800X3D along with a new motherboard, RAM, and CPU cooler. Would this be the best option within a £500 budget? I can stretch my budget a bit and I'm okay with purchasing used parts as long as it's not too risky.

Check out this build I put together on PCPartPicker:
- **AMD Ryzen 5 9600X** - £183
- **ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO SE CPU Cooler** - £30
- **Gigabyte B850 GAMING X WIFI6E Motherboard** - £164
- **Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith 32 GB DDR5-6000 Memory** - £91
Total: **£468.47**. This setup fits well under your budget and should greatly improve your gaming experience!
I don’t think fitting the 7800X3D into your budget is feasible. Could you let us know which country you’re in?
