Hey everyone! I'm looking for a good CPU, motherboard, and cooler combo on AliExpress, specifically under €150. I currently have an RX 5700 XT GPU, and while I could upgrade to AM5, I feel like my GPU doesn't really need it right now. Plus, I anticipate that the prices for AM5 will drop when I finally decide to get a new GPU. I already have some DDR3 and DDR4 RAM, so I'd like to factor that in as well. Any recommendations?

I actually came across a used MSI Tomahawk MAX B450 along with a Ryzen 5 3600 and 16GB of RAM, all for around $160. It might be slightly above your budget, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're okay with used parts!
You might want to consider the Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the JGinyue B650I, especially if there's a sale happening. Just keep in mind that's DDR5. If you’re set on DDR4, the JGinyue B550I with either a Ryzen 5 5600 or 5700X could also fit your budget. Another option would be the Intel 12400F with a B760 board from either JGinyue or Machinist. Those should get you a decent setup!
