Excellent prices on these two popular AMD Ryzen CPUs and they'll be sent with free express shipping instead of standard shipping which makes it better than the HT deal.

Disowned from Oz bargain!!
:(
So tempting but I must resist until the 5600X is $300 :/
Thanks OP, just got 5600x. =) (was sad when HT went out of stock while I'm in checkout. )
Still waiting for ozbargainer to sell me 5600x cheaper from this deal :D https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/648294
Good deal if you already had a cooler but I picked one up for a friend's build and didn't catch the no cooler bit.
I thought I would have had to wait longer for a deal on the 5900x. Goodbye 3900x, youve done me well.
Resale will still be good on that I expect. I made my money back on my 3700x when the 5800x launched. (I wanted 5900x but couldn't get one)
Comes out to be $679.16 for me

Very similar to the system I want to build even down to case. The only thing that I am thinking of doing differently is instead of the cheaper 1tb ssd is putting in a cheaper larger 4tb 3.5inch drive and using amd storeMI software to boost its performance by using part of the m.2 ssd as a cache for the slower drive
Thanks, bought the 5600x. Now I just need GPU prices to get cheaper.
By then the price of 5600X could have fallen to $300 XD
True, but the extra time I get to use the CPU for will make up the small amount of money I'd save by waiting.
worth to upgrade from 2600 to 5600x for gaming on 34' ultrawide?
had jump on a few youtube review comparison that shows very minor improvement for 2k/4k gaming from 2600 to 5600x. hence I'm think to wait for the next gen.
paired with 6800xt and B450m currently.
same boat, hello
for gaming the most improvement would come from GPU upgrade I reckon, however 2600 is old enough to become a bottleneck on any more or less demanding game.
I was on a 2600 and even that felt slow compared to a 3600X and now I'm on 5800X. No comparison really… I think it's a worthwhile upgrade
slow in what kind? low FPS or system?
im running with M2 NVME so not feeling slow, currently playing 3A titles only not a online gamer, it's hard to jusify a few hundreds more for a extra 10 FPS.
Probably more so in general system use I hate waiting for load times on applications or laggy Web browsing… that's where I noticed the biggest difference. Also no micro stutters in games anymore although that could partly be higher ram speed as well… I'm running 1:1 3933. Resizeable bar gives quite a bit extra too
Youll see about a 10%-20% difference on average, with a little bit of that dependent on your RAM. Ryzen 5000 suits 3600 ram much better than 3000 and 2000 did and should absolutely no problems hitting 1:1 FCLK MCLK at that speed.
Its a solid upgrade, but you may end up spending more than you would like to get the most of your upgrade.
In case people have an Afterpay limit getting in the way of the deal - I was able to use gift cards to bring the price down below my $600 limit. The 15% discount still applied to the entire order. (So if you can get the gift cards at a discount, it actually makes sense to pay the majority off with gift cards and just leave a small amount for afterpay. YMMV though.)
Also check afterpay app to see if you have any offers - I was able to get another $5 off
Oh this was a nice hack. Didn't know the discount will still be over the entire price.
can I get some personal opinions on when a 3060ti would be around the AUD700 mark?
What's a good mobo for a 5600g? I don't plan on getting a gpu. Which chipset should I be going for? Wanna spend around 200 to 250? Probably prefer asus and want a much m.2 as possible.
prefer asus
I always preferred ASUS from Socket 7 era, but recently couldn't find any cost effective boards. I got Gigabyte B550M DS3H for $84.57 for my 5600x, should be compatible with 5600g but I haven't researched on "G" parts. I have heard Asrock B550M PRO4 is a better board but it is $119 + shipping.
My gigabyte intel died, it wasn't low end either.. so not going back to another lol…I'm thinking of giving asrock or msi a go also.
This motherboard comes highly regarded. Very good ram and CPU overclocking capabilities. Afterpay offer brings it down to 300 or so and you get a $40usd Steam gift card bringing it down further.

Pulled the trigger. Got 5600x to go with the 5500 Tomahawk mobo deal the other day.
Been on the lookout for a sale one of these and bought one - thanks OP :)
The 5900X is soooo tempting.
I recently got a RX 6900 XT and I'm now CPU bottlenecked by my Ryzen 3600. I do think the 5900X is probably overkill for me, but so is the 6900XT.
could have saved another $3 :(
