Everyone has been saying you should buy AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700X3D if you’re building a budget gaming rig. But who wants to pay for a Computer that is out of date before you add it to your cart? What if I told you there were SECRET gaming CPUs that go blow for blow with the 5700X3D (at least one of them does!), are AM5, AND most importantly are CHEAPER. Meet the AMD Ryzen 5 7500f and the 8400f. We sent it, AND ANOTHER possible secret budget king through the LABS gauntlet, to find out if AMD has been hiding the best value in gaming.
