Hey everyone! I recently got a 3080 FE as a gift and I'm looking to build a PC without going over $500. I'm hoping to use an AMD CPU in the build. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you're not set on AMD, consider going with a 12700k combo. It can be affordable and should work well with your GPU!
Check out this build I put together for around $600: [link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tpVqJn). With a GPU like the 3080, trying to stick to $500 will mean making some serious compromises. But if you stretch your budget to $600, you'll be future-proofed with the AM5 socket and can upgrade down the line!
I was actually considering the 7700x instead of the 9600x, but your build has some solid options!
Yeah, I agree with you. Looks like I might have to increase my budget to at least $600.
I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm really trying to stick with AMD.
