Hey everyone! I need some assistance putting together a PC build. I was lucky enough to receive a 3080 FE as a gift, and I'm aiming to keep the total cost of my build under $500. I'm specifically looking for suggestions that include an AMD CPU. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’d recommend looking into a 12700K combo; it should work well and is pretty affordable too, but I'm not really keen on Intel myself.
Here’s a solid build I found that costs around $600 (not including the case). With a GPU like the 3080, trying to stick to a $500 budget will mean you'll have to make some tough compromises. If you can stretch to $600 plus the case, you'll be better set up for future upgrades with the AM5 socket.
Yeah, I'm starting to think the same thing. It looks like I might need to go for at least $600 for a decent setup.
I was considering the 7700X instead of the 9600X, but I appreciate the suggestions you included!
I get that, but I'm really trying to stick with AMD for this build.
