Many thanks for all your feedback, really appreciated! Indeed I'll be using the PC most of the time for gaming. Also there is a substantial cost increase of buying locally the 7950X3D vs 7800X3D so it had to justify the extra money which seems not to be the case at least for my purpose.

Thanks for the info, nice to know! So seems that for those who have the money the choice will be 7950X3D because it has 16cores with two CCD chiplets with a significative higher clock speed (5.7GHz vs 5.0GHz of the 7800X3D)

Thanks, much appreciated!

Hello all, I'd like to kindly ask for your advice here on my PC build if you don't mind. I already have ordered all the parts except the CPU. I went to an AM5 setup with a 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30. I'll use the PC mainly for DCS and X-Plane 12 and some productivity software. My doubt is what CPU I should look for? 7800X3D seems a good candidate but for $100 more I can get the 7900X3D which has a higher clock speed and more cores. I can also consider getting the 7900x or 7950x. 7950X3D is very expensive for me. My current GPU is a NVIDIA 3080. Probably will update the GPU in about 1 year. No VR, 1 monitor only. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your advice, really appreciated!

Going for a new build...

Thanks for info, will look at used market as well. Regarding CPU choice, any recommendation?

Hi all, I’m considering getting a new PC for XP12. My budget doesn’t allow me to get a better graphics card than a 3060ti which is already expensive. In terms of CPU I’m looking at 13600k and 7600x with 32GB DDR4/5. Will be using only 1x monitor (1440p or 4K if possible). Any advice please? thanks in advance!
