I am planning a new build and looking at the AM5 platform, since it is new and has planned support for the next few years. I was wondering whether to buy a 7600x and a more expensive board, or a 7700x and a cheaper board. There is a $100 difference between the two, so the question is CPU or MOBO getting the extra cash.
My logic is in a few years I will upgrade the CPU, probably on the last generation that supports AM5, so spending more on the motherboard makes sense. I’m not too worried about bottlenecking as I’m running an Alienware Ultrawide 1440p and plan to probably buy a 4080 for my GPU.
Let me know your thoughts, and any suggested motherboards.
