Why is Ryzen 7800 X3D the Best Gaming CPU in 2024?

• Single CCD Design: All 8 cores and cache in one place
  • Avoids issues with switching between two CCDs in higher core count models (Ryzen 7900 X3D, 7950 X3D)
• Performance: Equal or better gaming performance compared to Ryzen 7900 X3D due to increased vertical cache (vCache)
• Cost Efficiency: Generally costs less while still offering powerful multi-threading for applications like video editing

Best GPU for Ryzen 7800 X3D

• Minimum Recommendation: Radeon 7900 XT or RTX 4070 Super
  • Consider Ryzen 7600 if budget constraints exist (saves about $150)
• Higher Performance GPU Options:
  • Radeon RX 7900 XTX
  • RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4090

Best RAM for Ryzen 7800 X3D

• Speed: Not heavily dependent on RAM speed due to ample vCache
  • Recommended: DDR5 6000 CL30 for best price-to-performance
  • Pricing: Starts at $90 for non-RGB, $100-$120 for RGB kits
• Capacity: 32 GB (2x 16GB) is standard; smaller kits are hard to find
• XMP/AMD Expo: Enable in BIOS for optimal performance

Best Motherboard for Ryzen 7800 X3D

• Recommendations: Focus on B650 or B650E motherboards
  • Avoid A620 chipsets due to lack of Precision Boost Overdrive support
• Top Picks:
  • MSI Pro B650M-A Wi-Fi
  • ASRock B650M Pro RS/Wi-Fi
  • MSI B650 Gaming Wi-Fi
  • For premium options: MSI B650 Tomahawk, ASUS Tough Gaming B650 Plus

Best CPU Cooler for Ryzen 7800 X3D

• Temperature Management: Aim for around 80°C under load
• Cooler Recommendations:
