It seems you're considering a mix of AMD and Intel processors for a build, likely aiming for strong performance. The listings you're checking are bundled together, which can be helpful but also means you might not always see the best choices. I usually stick to AMD 5000 or Intel 10/11 series, but recent benchmarks show the 3800X is a top contender. With new parts arriving, I'm feeling motivated to explore different configurations.

They would complement each other nicely. It’s unlikely you’d need it, but a 5800X with a $120 B550 board would be a smarter choice. You could find a better option here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ypRRkX. It’s $20 cheaper and would perform much better overall. Updated September 14, 2021 by RONOTHAN##
