AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core
$209

For the heart of the build, the CPU, I've opted for an AMD build here and picked out the Ryzen 7 5800X. The 5800X represents one of the most meaningful leaps in gaming CPU performances in years. The redesigned AMD Zen3 architecture features a doubling of cores per complex, from four to eight cores. It is about a year old at this point but still represents terrific high-end performance given its $500 price tag.
