I recently purchased a 7500F about a month and a half ago, but I'm considering an upgrade. I saw some prices for the 7700, 9600, and 7800X3D and I'm curious if they're reasonable. Can anyone share their thoughts or experiences?

I snagged a 7700 for €170 on AliExpress, and I'm really satisfied with it! That seems like a solid option if you're looking to upgrade.
Prices can vary! I found the 7800X3D for $442 CAD, the 7700 for $269, and the 9600 at $247. Just so you know, I might return the 7500F or sell it locally since I'm not super happy with it. By the way, I’ve got a 7900XTX and game at 1440p. If you're mostly gaming at that resolution, consider how CPU-intensive your games are before upgrading.

If you're focused on CPU-heavy games, definitely consider the X3D as a better fit for performance.
