Just fyi, Amazon is currently matching this price, for those who may prefer Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=2700x&qid=1568674452&sr=8-1
They have this on amazon for 150 as well, with prime.
thats a pretty badass bday present!
i have a genuine question tho, and not necessarily aimed at OP. Why do i see so many builds using the ryzen APU with a graphics card as well? is there a benefit to it? i understand builds that start with it and add a gpu later, but if you're buying it all at once would it not be better to grab a 2600 instead? (or a 1600 if its the R3 apu)
questions aside. congrats! im sure he'll remember building it fondly for the rest of his life.
​
edit: fair points all around! so if its the 2200 it makes perfect sense for best performance at price point. however if its a 2400 then you might as well have gotten a 2600 especially with them being 149 at walmart and amazon right now = https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yW0yCbK60C89B
Would it not be more worth to just get ryzen 3600 for 10$ more?
You can also do the same on the low end.
$87 i3-9100F vs $80-$85 Ryzen 1600 that has been silently revised from 14nm to underclocked Ryzen 2600s. I suppose the only downside is that the new "12nm" 1600s use the 2600's stock cooler, which is worse than the original 14nm 1600's cooler, but in return, you get all of the 6C/12T Zen+ benefits. And you can OC the RAM on a ~$70 B450 board (~$60 if you don't need VRM heatsinks) as well to further crank up the IPC.

I could see the arguments against the 1st gen Zen, but a Zen+ that can be OC'ed to match or exceed 2600's specs? I've seen someone argue that the i3 was still worth getting for gaming with the basis of "no one should be upgrading their PC shorter than 4-5 years between the builds/upgrades" and criticized my plan of upgrading from the 14nm Ryzen 1600 to a used/discounted Zen 3 chip when AMD moves onto Zen 4/5.
Forget about the i5 for $20 more, at $160, you can go for the Ryzen 5 2600 for a mere $6 more. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/
Unless you don't need a GPU at all or you do need a GPU but you just need GT 1030 level graphics, the Ryzen 5 2600 is the way to go in my opinion.
2700X is also on sale for 344.99
Same exact price on Amazon, would definitely rather buy it there even if it has taxes.
Unavailable within 250 miles of my location
Can be ordered on Amazon though it might take a while to ship: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B08166SLDF/?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
All I can say is I have a 2700x for a year and a half now and i am impressed with it... this price is a pretty decent price for 8c/16t at 4.3ghz
You can find it cheaper on amazon at £193 AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism RGB LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DNMKDbRVRF0KZ
For you guys who prefers amazon. Ryzen 2600 for 169$
You might want to lower the price a bit. Right now, it's $209 on Amazon with free One-Day shipping for Prime members.
too high buddy. $85 new from Amazon.
​
For those who don't know, the R5 1600 got a silent 12nm Zen+ refresh that puts it closer to the 2600 more than the original 14nm Zen 1 R5 1600, and it's only $85: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAFBOX/dp/B07XTQZJ28/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ryzen+5+1600&qid=1576909638&sr=8-2
You can also tell that's the new listing because of the low amount of ratings.
More info about the 12nm silent refresh: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/thats-ryzen-af-some-old-amd-chips-might-be-getting-a-12nm-makeover
Dunno where you are from but the 5xxx series are easily available in Canada at MSRP with the 5800x on sale for $50 off already on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0815XFSGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_N3TTHX6VS30BXN1YA0VA
Edit:
Looks like same as the US Amazon so probably just a region issue.
Right now, the 3300X. That being said, it's probably $15-$20 more than it should be due to limited availability. If you want the best of both worlds, the 3600 is $266 with free delivery from Amazon AU.
https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Ryzen-3600-Processor-100-100000031BOX/dp/B07STGGQ18
Yes, with an RX570 you won't see any real difference in gaming performance since the GPU will hit a limit before the 3300X does. With a 5600XT/2060 you might see a small amount of improvement, especially in CPU intensive games that you play on competitive settings, which does include R6, Valorant and CSGO.
I get you want to spend the least amount you can now and ideally want to buy from a local store but the price gap between the two should be around $85 and it's currently just over half that.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 65W AM4 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1600BBAFBOX) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XTQZJ28/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Z17cEbB2MMP46
Also note this is most likely a 2600 in disguise
It's £299.99 on Amazon. Free delivery I assume. Edit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-3700X-Processor-Cache/dp/B07SXMZLPK/
It says delivery takes 1-4 weeks though.
Do you guys think it's going to get cheaper or should I just take the plunge? I'm waiting for MSI's MAX motherboards next month.. so not going to be able to use the 3700x for a while.
The price is set by the retailer and then we get a percentage of the sale if you make the purchase. The price is the same on the retailer as an affiliate link.
For example:
Direct Amazon link for an R6 2600 $149.99: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/
PCPP affiliate link for an R6 2600 $149.99: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/?tag=pcpapi-20
I'm glad you got the chips, but there's no reason to buy from you as the 5600x is in stock @ Amazon https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B08166SLDF/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=5600x&qid=1615411385&sr=8-1
Ryzen 7 3700X is $279.99 @ Amazon and Bestbuy
5900x Is sold out from amazon at MSRP until September.
5900x Is sold out at Newegg
5900x Is sold out at Bestbuy
Basically you can't buy a 5900x for less than $690 if you want it today. You're asking someone to swap you a ~$700 CPU (given S&D) for a $398 CPU + $100.... That is why this post is being downvoted into oblivion.
Just FYI you can get a new 5800x for less from Newegg and Amazon. Link for proof https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-5800X-16-Thread-Processor/dp/B0815XFSGK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=5800x&qid=1624416910&sr=8-3
Well not in my country lol. There's ~ 60$ price difference in my country EDIT- Refrence to the pricing- https://www.amazon.in/AMD-YD2600BBAFBOX-3-9GHz-Socket-Processor/dp/B07B41WS48 ( ₹19,000 ≈ ₹263 )
https://www.amazon.in/AMD-Ryzen-YD1600BBAEBOX-3-2GHZ-Processor/dp/B06XNRQHG4 ( ₹13,000 ≈ $180) The price delta is worse than I anticipated lol. Granted Amazon India doesn't have the best hardware pricing, but you get the idea.
Piggybacking to say that it's the same price on Amazon if you have points or gift cards to use.
You can purchase the 1600 AF, which uses the same 12nm process as the ryzen 2xxx, which means you can change its clocks to match the performance of a 2600. The 1600 AF is sold for $85 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-YD1600BBAFBOX/dp/B07XTQZJ28
Where the hell do you live that you can buy a 11400 and a good MOBO for 260€? (price of 5600x currently in Europe)
you can buy this off amazon right now for $549
