    Ryzen 5 1600 As F#@K

    Worth every cent, what a bargain.
    Even with the 3600 the price as it is.

    • +5

      It used to be a little less than this, but for COVID it's pretty good. Though I'd get a 3300X for $199 at Shopping Express, much better in gaming and barely behind in multicore.

      • +2

        I agree! 3300X is better in gaming. I myself switched from 1600 AF to 3300X primarily because of the superior single-core performance.

        Nope $218 plus shipping at Shopping Express (so about $235?).

        Better for gaming, yes. Not in the same price range, though. This is $175 inc shipping.

        • It's typically at that price, $199 was just from memory.

    I do think the 3300X or the 3600 are better value (even at $100 more) than the 1600AF at these prices. The jump from Zen to Zen 2 is pretty significant.

    • +4

      The 1600AF is Zen+. It's basically a relabelled 2600.

      • +1

        I know, and the difference between Zen+ and Zen2 is still pretty significant.

  • +1

    Expect 3600 prices to drop further in 6-10 weeks as Ryzen 4000 launch and release rolls in.

    Wait if you can, and still look at the 3300X and 3600 if you can't.

  • Didn't this retail for $150?

    Hi, TechSwich store rep here.

    This deal was more popular than expected and we have sold out of available pre-order units. We will have to stop accepting new pre-orders until we can confirm additional stock, but will hopefully have more available soon.

    Purchased the 1600AF for $150 pre-covid. Bundled with a RX580 for $199 all from PCCasegear. Good budget gaming rig for children for fortntie avg 100FPS. Processor handles fine and not a bottleneck.
