Ryzen 7500f - is it worth sourcing in the UK?

An intrgrated Solution is a great back up to keep your pc going and can be handy for troubleshooting .

It's always a balancing act if your on a tight budget but if you have another GPU then the 7500f is good if you can find one.
 

Upgrade advise - i7-8700 to what?

Big thanks to everyone. So it's looking like I should go for DDR5 6000 C30 ram, B650 board with a 7600/7700 with unless I can find a decently priced 7800X3D - this will give me a bit of a boost with the potential to upgrade to a 9800x3d in the future... perfect

That was the post that flagged it for me - best I can find currently is ~105 plus 'expected £20 tax'.
 
got to wait for sales, these usually happen monthly, but some sales periods are better than others
and as discussed, non-existent warranty, so you take your chances

Aside from being handy for debugging the iGPU seems just wasted silicon in a gaming build.

I too thought this originally, but the the reasoning is to appeal to OEMs, where iGPU is adequate for desktop use.

Also the iGPU allows video encoding/decoding plus has hybrid graphics support, link.

I paid £93 after tax for a 7500f from china back in November, didn’t end up using it as I managed to get a 9800X3D but was a good back up option to have standing by just increase.

I have a 5700 regular and I'm trying to figure out where to go from it. I'd like to go to AM5 but the X3Ds all seem a bit much.

what is the rest of your system and what resolution you gaming at? what graphics card do you have?

what games are you playing or plan to play?

RTX 4080, 4K
and mostly PUBG. I'm probably not CPU bound but just want a new toy

for a 4080 and at @4k don't really see the point I think a 5700x3d would be more than enough. You could sell your system and put the money towards a faster CPU like 9800XD. But my advice is normally if its not performing well enough then its time to upgrade. If you bought a RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 then I would say getting a 9800X3D would be a worthy investment. I would definitely upgrade to a 5700x3d with that will give you better minimum framerates and lows and you can sell your current one to recoup the cost.
