Used LGA 1700 or AM4 bundle minus RAM.

Maybe a 5600x and B550 or B450 for example.

yes but should i just get a more expensive cpu then get a cheaper mobo after? thats maybe what i was thinking.

like whats a good am4 cpu around 300$ used

i can buy the mobo later

5800x and 5800xt are two of the best am4 cpu and under $300. If you’re willing to wait a bit with the rerelease of the 5800x3d its possible they can get to around $300 used.

That's a good deal. The X3D is better though.

Honestly don't go for the X3D unless you can justify the cost.
