    AMD Ryzen 7 7700X

    Price: $349

    Within the recently-released AMD 7000 series lineup sits the often overlooked yet understated Ryzen 7 7700X. Our Zen 4 captain of choice for our RTX 4080 gaming monster comes with eight threads and a total of 16 cores for reliable, effortless performance. As it’s sporting the new Zen 4 architecture and AM5 socket, it’s great for future proofing with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support. The chip is also manufactured using 5nm technology, which benefits from faster performance speeds and great power efficiency than the latter 7nm and 10nm processors. Also, at $350, it’s well priced. www.amd.com
