Looks like this is the cheapest way to get into the AM5 Platform.
The 7500F is a better option vs the $249 8500G that only has 16Mb's cache and only supports PCI Express 4.0.
$69 Gets you 16GB's of DDR5
$119 for the board so your getting the 7500F for $237 (With Australian Warranty)

Of course… 2017 vs 2023 release…
ty im not up to date with any of this stuff these days sadly. sorry to bother but if you had $500 for a new cpu mobo combo what would you go for?
TBH, this deal isn't that bad. I also run 7500F on my 2nd PC and it runs very well.
If you're gaming and happy to go a bit more towards $600, I'd recommend AMD 7600X + Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX 1.3. While you're at it you might as well grab a set of (16GB x 2) DDR5 6000 Mhz RAM like the GSkill Trident Z5 F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR
@djmm: thanks mate yeah i do game occasionally but more for doing cad work these days. can probs spend upto $750 for a really good deal.
Worth noting the 7500F doesn't have a built in graphics card
Do you have a link for the $69 DDR5 Ram?
Two options.. single stick of 16GB or two sticks of 8Gbs

Thanks!
imo no point getting into the "AM5 Platform" with a motherboard so low tier that if you changed the CPU you would need to change the mobo anyway…..
Whats stopping you from buying a 9500F or 10500F or whatever they'll call them in 2-3 years with a 65W TDP?
9600X has 65W TDP
There ya go!
because that's not a meaningful upgrade imo, I would assume you likely finish a platform out with the best in slot for that platform. Eg 5800x3d for AM4.
Lots of AM5 CPU's will continue to be 65w and at only $119.. you could always get a nice new motherboard for your existing AM5 CPU in the future when PCI-E 5.0 on the GPU socket and Nvme slot becomes useful
Then what is a cheap and future proof AM5 mobo?
7500F ~$180 + MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI ~$200
@goig986: Not a good product page on that site for that one. URL says gaming plus wifi, description says gaming plus wifi in multiple locations but the title says gaming wifi and the SKU in the product description says gaming wifi.
7500F is a great way to enter into the AM5 platform. You can upgrade to 9800X3D once it's released 😉 .
Maybe not on this motherboard unless its TDP is 65w
funny store, some of the bundles are more expensive than individual parts
Will this combo be ok with a gtx 1070ti?
Just wanted to upgrade my cpu, was planning to get a ryzen 5 5600x but this seems to be a better deal…
The 7500F is as fast as a 5800X3D.. you will need DDR5 though… $69 in the two links above.
The 7500F is good all the way up to a RTX4080 Super.. maybe even a RTX4090
Would steer clear of this seller. Motherboard faulty after arrival and had to get PayPal involved to get a refund after they ghost.
Spent around 25k with shopping express over the past 15 years for work PC's.. Never had any issues with warranty returns.
They are also - futu_online eBay Store. No issues with that store either.
Every place can make you wait sometimes when busy but unless they outright refuse to honor warranty waiting is more of a annoyance
will this one be a big upgrade over my Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)? its starting to struggle on the bigger tasks these days.
