AMD's best value gaming CPU, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, is down to $329 at Ebay
A great price for a fast processor that works with inexpensive DDR4 RAM and AM4 motherboards. That means a vanilla Ryzen 5000 (or Ryzen 7000!) processor remains the superior choice for most all-core workloads like transcoding video, rendering 3D scenes or compiling code.
