After a long wait, AMD’s older Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is regarded as the second-best gaming processor on the planet, is back to its previous retail price of $476 on Amazon, down from the $600 range that customers would have to fork over if they want to experience those high framerates in AAA and esports. With AMD working to improve supply for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, this is by far the best alternative at this time.
However, you cannot just go around flaunting a standalone processor, as you need a compatible motherboard to get it working. Well, lucky for you, we have rounded up four of the best B650 and X670 motherboards that are available at discounted prices and offer a boatload of features in return. Best of all, there is absolutely no need to update the BIOS of any of these motherboards, which we agree, is a headache-inducing step and comes with an element of risk.
The most affordable motherboards from this list are the ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI and the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS Elite AX ICE, both of which are available on the online retailer for $199.99 after a 9 percent discount. Naturally, these ship with cut-down features compared to the more advanced X670 counterparts, but if you are looking to avail the best savings possible, this is your best bet.
There is no update on when the Ryzen 7 7800X3D’s price will remain at $476 Amazon, but if history is any indication, these processors tend to sell out almost immediately, which is why you need to have lightning-fast reflexes if you want to be the proud owner of one of the fastest gaming CPUs right now.
Update - There is excellent news for those wanting to buy the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, because the gaming CPU is discounted down to $349 on Amazon. We have attached the image above for anyone who believes otherwise, and we want to remind those serious about making an upgrade to not waste any precious time.
