    Please drop below $300 and I will pull the trigger.

      Same. It'll be a nice upgrade from my 2600.

      • Budju on 05/03/2022 - 12:14

        This is probably the right time. Reckon people will buy a second hand 2600?

      How about you pull your trigger then it will drop below $300. Use the same technique 95% of retailers who trade crypto. Buy high sell low.

        was it costing you more than the price protection you ever got?

        • WhyAmICommenting on 04/03/2022 - 19:33

          Well, there must have been a reason. Either at some point yes I was paying interest and then for the insurance, or I wanted a home loan or something. Did ok from buying a house I guess ;)

  • walruspolishing on 04/03/2022 - 15:40

    if I have a 2300x and a gtx1650 would this be a good upgrade (Mobo supports it)

    • Dvbargain on 04/03/2022 - 15:53
      -1

      Assume you mean 3300X? Not really unless you're doing something particularly CPU bottlenecking?

      If you're gaming? No, not an upgrade.

      • Wheresmyspaceship on 04/03/2022 - 16:19

        5600x is not an upgrade over a 3300x? Really?

        • Dvbargain on 04/03/2022 - 16:24
          +2

          Depends on what you're using your pc for.

          It won't make you browse the Web faster mate lol.

          Like my post said… Quite clearly… If he isn't bottlenecking his 3300x now while gaming (which he isn't with a 1650) swapping to this he will not notice anything.

              @Wheresmyspaceship: Sorry if I came off rude. I thought you were being a smart ass haha.

              If you're maxing your CPU in any scenario, throwing this in will most definitely provide increased performance over a 3300x

        • SmoothCactus on 04/03/2022 - 19:26
          +1

          its abotu up to a 30% difference in FPS raw. Thats anywhere between 20 to 40 fps in modern 1440p games.

          • Dvbargain on 04/03/2022 - 20:05
            +1

            @SmoothCactus: You're missing a key factor here. If his GPU is the bottleneck which it would be with a 1650, then getting a better CPU is going to do approximately (profanity) all.

            These generic "your fps will go up" statements are rubbish without context.

            Edit: see below to the guy I responded to. Did not even know 2300x existed haha so it might be a bottleneck.

        • Dvbargain on 04/03/2022 - 20:06
          +1

          Wow I didn't even know that existed haha.

          It might be a bottleneck then, you'd have to test yourself on the games you play. Try using the MSI afterburner overlay.

      • cadwalader on 05/03/2022 - 01:47

        Do you reckon its worth the upgrading going from a Ryzen 2700 with a RX 5700?

        I'd like to upgrade my motherboard, refurbish my case and its other components which are were the most basic budget stuff when I bought it. Wondering if I should just throw a new cpu in as well.

        • Dvbargain on 05/03/2022 - 01:53

          It can't hurt, but it's the same answer to you as to the other person.

          If it's gaming you're doing, load up MSI afterburner, turn on the overlay and see if (in the games you play) if your GPU is the bottleneck or if it's your CPU.

          If it's not your CPU that's the bottleneck and besides gaming you don't do any CPU intensive tasks then you're kind of just spending $300.00 for the sake of it.

          If you think you might upgrade the GPU later down the track, then it can't hurt upgrading CPU now, but may as well wait until it's even cheaper when you do GPU

    • Jimbuscus on 04/03/2022 - 17:42

      Unless you are using the computer for non-gaming tasks that you need improvement from, a better CPU won't improve gaming performance.

        Hi, using base Galax RTX2080. Use case is gaming at 3440x1440.

          +1

          Check the link I sent above mate. I would not recommend to upgrade to 5600x now since there maybe are some budget models like 5500, 5600 non-x, 5700x coming with 5800x 3D in late March to early April.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/03/2022 - 16:12

      What are you using the computer for?

      • jianh on 09/03/2022 - 10:37

        Hi, apologies late reply. High end gaming on 3440x1440, sim racing mostly.

          I am not really sure if you will see much benefit for sim racing for that card and resolution. Better to watch some benchmark videos or CPU scaling charts for few games.

  • jasong on 04/03/2022 - 16:28

    Still running Ryzen 7 1700 with a GTX1080. My motherboard supports this, but is it worth upgrading?
    Gaming (1080) + Photoshop + Chrome (lol)

    • Lief on 04/03/2022 - 17:13
      +1

      You'd probably see a little, but not much improvement in games because the 1700 is pretty balanced with a GTX1080 at 1080p. You'll need to upgrade both
      It'd be a lot better at most other things though, like compression/decompression, game loading and photoshop.
      There's no 1700 in this line up but the 2700x is there for a close enough comparison https://youtu.be/y7ukz8WUdW4?t=254

  • ahsanrz on 04/03/2022 - 16:38

    Great price…I bought for $355 from same store one week ago.
    I have not opened it can i return it?? ))

  • tightm8 on 04/03/2022 - 16:39

    Are these discounts because some new chip got announced?

    • throwsofaraway on 04/03/2022 - 17:06

      could be because 5800 3d v-cache is coming out, but its not even in this price bracket. Maybe it's cause intel is technically better value if you are building from scratch

  • KoreanJesus on 04/03/2022 - 16:52

    I have a 1600. Should I upgrade with this or 12400f? My GPU is gtx1060 6gb.

    • throwsofaraway on 04/03/2022 - 17:18

      if you can use the same motherboard it makes sense to upgrade to this, but you'd have to check

    • Lief on 04/03/2022 - 17:25

      The 12400f isn't that much cheaper than this deal and it's slightly slower than the 5600x, so i'd say get this unless you have other considerations like specific applications that intel runs much better.

      • GooseHoward on 04/03/2022 - 18:42

        It really isn't significantly slower, in fact in terms of some games in P1 it's way higher.

        Depends on the motherboard whether it's worth to go 5600X or 12400F

    • JerraJones on 04/03/2022 - 22:59

      Unless you're playing an Esports kinda game or do productivity work then upgrading your cpu won't be too helpful since the 1060 will end up being the bottleneck then.

    I love seeing these kinda deals when I bought one 2 weeks ago for $370 cause I was impatient :')

    • Lief on 04/03/2022 - 18:08

      I understand the anxiety. I was worried I was seeing the lowest price for the next 8 months then, and every other deal since too.
      I pulled on this one, I can't imagine it going much lower now that it's in spitting distance of the 12400f

  • Pipersaurus on 04/03/2022 - 18:36

    Worth the upgrade to my 3500x/3070ti combo?

    • Clear on 04/03/2022 - 20:07
      +1

      Yes I think it is. The 3500X is 6 cores, 6 threads and doesn't have SMT (Intel call it Hyperthreading) and this does make a difference with framerates in a game. The 5600X is 6 cores, 12 threads and uses the same socket so there's no need for a new motherboard. Just make sure your mobo does support 5xxx to be sure. Normally requires a BIOS update.

      Going for the 5800X with 8 cores, 16 threads would be overkill in comparison to the 5600X in gaming and there's minimal difference between the two. The 5800X also runs much hotter.

  • maxbon on 04/03/2022 - 19:39

    This is starting to make a lot more sense than previous prices. Competition works, seems like AMD is feeling the heat from Intel again.

    This or wait for AM5?

    Current setup is i5 6400 and gtx 1070
    Mostly gaming (MMORPG)

    • amaslam on 05/03/2022 - 20:42
      +1

      If the games are lagging then yes upgrade. Or if they're not wait for stable AM5 (which is next year, not this one).

      If you're interested to know what I mean by stable have a look at a video by JayZ2Cents on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu9U7TVNImI

      Essentially anytime you have a major architectural change you need to let the 'rush to market' bugs get worked out and that takes alot of BIOS updates and even changing out parts like RAM for less RAM, different RAM.

      With Intel this is the new LGA1700 socket and 12th Gen Intel available today.
      For AMD this will be AM5 socket with DDR5 memory.

      If you just want a stable build 11th gen Intel and AM4 AMD with current Ryzen gen has had years to fix and stabilise everything.
