FX 8300 Retirement Day — Throw Them All Out? or... Does FX Still Have Life In It?
In 2017 I built a $600 FX-8300 based PC. Why? Watch the video, I promise I talk about it!
I also talk about why this PC is being retired and what any of the FX chips are really good for in 2023...
Please sit back, relax, grab a drink, grab a snack, and let's get into it!

NOTE: This is where I normally put dozens of links to products. However, in this case there isn't much to link to since nothing in this FX-8300 is current anymore (or even remotely kinda sorta current). INSTEAD, I'll link to 2 recent PC build videos, a $650 option with a $1,000 subvariant, and a $2,000 option that's more premium.
$650 PC Build - (w/ $1,000 option) - • $650 PC Build — Ryzen 5 5600 + RX 660...
$2,000 PC Build - (Premium Parts) - • i5-13600K PC Build Guide — Parts Over...
