help choosing a cpu+motherboard+ram

[Nooblite]

Can anyone recommend a good cpu+motherboard+ram bundle? Max budget is $610, not sure if I should get a 7600x or 7700x, and which motherboard.

Are you gaming or doing other workloads?

What do you do on your computer? Then it depends on how much RAM and how many cores you will need.

I am gaming, maybe some office work with word and light excel. Ideally 32gb of ddr5 ram, not sure which cpu or motherboard to get. Apparently some are better than others, but the prices all look the same.

Gotcha!

Then I would recommend the 7600x or 9600x!  6 cores and 12 threads are plenty even for modern games.

Do you need WIFI?

This is a good budget option that will work really well.  I personally don't like very 'cheap' motherboards as they do lack some features. Had a lot of people wanting to swap motherboards because they bought a super cheap one and realized it lacked what they needed or wanted, like more FAN connectors for example.

This is also not a full sized ATX motherboard.

This one I do like.  It does have WIFI.

It will also handle a faster CPU like a 9800X3D or a 10800X3D whenever AMD releases that.

So you have a good upgrade path.

Is this a full build or just cpu board and ram upgrade?

What games?

And is this canada or us?

610$ is more than enough to get you a 7800x3d and 32gb of ram if you are in the us
