Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders
Auth@lemmy.world 4 days agoYeah but who needs a 5800X3D? a 5500 or 5600x will be fine for most. If you can afford to get a 5800x3d dont worry about the price and just buy it money clearly aint an issue.

Lol what?? 5800X3D was like $250 when I bought mine. I wouldn’t say it was cheap but its defintely not a “money is no issue” kind of number.

$250 is a steal but i’ve not seen it below $500 which is a lot to spend on a cpu.

I think I must have got it on sale or a very low point. Definitely was a nice upgrade! I had been non-seriously looking at 5950X or 5900XT as a sidegrade but I can’t really justify that cost for something that is not a substantial upgrade.
