Asking for USED AMD 5 board suggestions.

[narsbars]

I have been running an X570, 5900x, 64gig mem, 12 gig 4070, Main NVME 2 gig, gen 4 for years. I want to move up to AMD 5 but a very limited budget considering new mem, new CPU. What mb should I look for USED, and what CPU to go with? Is the price of even USED mem going to cripple my ability to upgrade to something that would make a significant difference to what I use now? Main use is daily routine and older AAA gaming titles.

You probably already know it, but it is worth pointing out anyway:
Am5 went to LGA. If buying used, you want certainty that the pins are in and arrive in good shape.

On the other side, if you want it cheap, have steady hands, and a brave soul, you can probably land one with bent pins for next to nothing.

Shaky here, I am going to pass on bent pins unless it is from the H and really affordable. Thanks

Probably not what you want to hear, but something like a 9800X3D will be near $400, and even used 2x8GB DDR5 might be around $220. 2x16GB will be around $350.

As far as motherboards, they all perform well. Just maybe stay away from ASrock motherboards with X3D CPU's. Otherwise, get the cheapest with features you like.
