Just need some decent deals on a mobo to suit, preferably sub $100 !
This one is pretty good option for $115!

Thanks, seen that one but my problem is I keep comparing prices to the Msi B550m Bazooka i picked up last year for $89 :-)
@CheapGit: Mobos are only getting dearer. They were cheap last year because retailers were forced to buy huge quantities from AIBs in order to purchase GPUs.
@iseeyou1312: I told my wife the same thing, so she goes why didn't you buy 2 last year, but if i bought 2 last year she would have gone why do you need 2! lol
Just doing a basic budget setup for youngest kid, mainly schoolwork and all they seem to play is Roblox and Fall Guys.
Have a spare Ryzen 5 3600 cpu and RX580 8gb gpu in cupboard that should be more than enough, just need mobo and ram to finish it.
So, the B450 board @downforce linked to and I've got a local independent guy that has a Gigabyte B550m Gaming for $100.
Yeah, wtf with the cpu posts, will be Ryzen Bargain soon
what is this? OzAMDBargain?
This better be the last Ryzen deal for the night lol
Your wish has been granted.
how do u know? we still have 50 minutes till midnight and it would be really funny if there was one more post xD
I have entered the OzBargain server room, it will never happen
WAIT, IM IN WA
@kingmoron: Yeah dont forget about us WA'ers!
The amount of ryzen posts today
The R5 series (contemporary) hasn't been this cheap since the Ryzen 5 2600 circa 2018. So yeah, it's a deal.
Def awesome deals, picked up the 5600x today. I honestly think these are the prices at black friday, i could be wrong but i doubt it would be lower than like $10
$200 was my trigger price on the 5600 to replace the 2600 I picked up in 2018. I bought.
@Budju: Spectacular price, hope it serves u well!
isn’t the other deal for the 5600g for $169 better?
5600 is much better gaming cpu, depends what you need
The 5600g is really a 5500 with an iGPU included. They perform similar to the 3600 but don't have PCIe 4.0. AMD's naming schemes are often extremely misleading, but they're rarely called out for it.
love he competition, lets see if AMD coming new GPU will bring Nvidia price down like Intel 13th gen CPU to AMD.
Any chance Amazon/Mwave/MSY match this price? I personally prefer those retailers.
Prefer Msy to Scorptec? Tell me more
amazon already have price matched.
worth upgrading from ryzen 5 3600?
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i5-13600k/19.h…
depend 1440p or 4k gaming, you can comparing all the cpu from the link above. you able to choose 1080p or 4k gaming benchmark at the bottom. The benchmark PC is using 3080 GPU
My thoughts exactly.. According to some sources, it's a good jump of around 20%, but only in specific use cases. There are definitely jumps, but the improvements might not be glaringly obvious in day to day usage. So, at least in my case, that tempered my excitement.
TBH, my current rig does everything I want it to, to an extremely satisfying level, perhaps I'll keep using it as is and upgrade further down the line.
Yes, probably should go 5700x if you can scrape up the dough.
I recently upgrade to a 5600x from a 3600. I got huge fps gains +20-30% in most games and almost double the fps in TF2. Had no idea the 3600 was bottle necking my 6900xt so much. I use a 1440p 165hz screen. Picked up the 5600x for 200 second hand sold my 3600 for 150 lol. Definitely worth the upgrade…
I’d try and nab a 5800x3d instead
reckon it's worth upgrading to this? I have the 3100 ryzen
Scorptec are listing this price through to 20-Nov, which is the Sunday before Black Friday.
Amazon has one for $2 extra, same day delivery
Kinda regret buying a 11400 for $230 a year ago… oh well, couldn't wait for price drops at the time
Did you get value out of the CPU over the year? If so, no ragrets
Yeah, but I sorta put my eggs in one basket in terms of future upgrades in hoping that 10/11th gen has great clearance deals, then again it was a pretty killer deal for a 1440p rig anyway compared to the 3600/5600x at the time
A year ago there was only the 5600x, and they were like 450?
Yeah 5600x prices were no good back then, its a shame the 5600/5500 weren't out because those would've been good competition compared to the way out of range 5600x and the aging 3600 which still cost 340 at the time, looking back it was probably the best deal possible for 1440p I suppose
Exactly, if you were building a system then, the 11400f was a no brainer, especially for 1440p.
Sadly most of my computing units are Xeon-Intel platforms these days. My relationship with AMD dated back to FM1 era.
Does anyone have any experiences of Ryzen for current VSphere?
Beautiful just picked one up. Making a small multimedia build to replace my ancient core2duo that’s connected to the main TV
Wouldn't the 5600G be a better fit for that role? You can avoid the cost to put a GPU in, with the corresponding increased power draw.
Ops some how I posted on the 5600. I purchased a 5600g hahah
Swap it asap, massive gains to be had for $30
@ThebigM: Gonna be hard to notice those gains with no video output on his multimedia set up…
@ThebigM: OP is using the 5600G for a HTPC, no need for gains - they need quiet, low power HDMI 2.1 (4K@60hz) output for playing files.. not speed demon, higher temp and faster fans.
@ThebigM: Yea I have a 5800x/3070 for gaming. 5600g just for media
So I'll prob make a forum post about this, but looking at getting the kids to build their own PCs for Christmas. I've been out of the PC world for about 15 years (console gamer, dual boot Windows on Macs or running Linux on old laptops) so out of loop on the PC build "meta".
Is it fair to say that this with a B550 m'board, 16gb RAM and an SSD for boot is good middle-of-the-range value for a 1080p gaming PC? Any recs on a GPU? Prices for those seem to be all over the shop.
Ryzen 5600 - $199
B550 A Pro - $169
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/motherboards/amd-socket-…
RAM - 16G DDR4 3200 or 3600 should both be fine
GPU - RX 6600 or 3060 for 1080p, RX 6700 XT or RX 6800 or RTX 3080 for 2K res. GPU price is volatile at the moment so keeping an eye on ozb may be a better idea.
should be pretty for for 1080p resolution gaming at low-middle settings for current AAA titles.
I'm splurging on an AMD 5600G, ASUS B550-m matx board (since mitx are double the price) and will be making as small probably 30cm 'cube' pc and using the build in APU for 1080p emulation and gaming. The CPU will happily handle up to PS3 / xbox 360 era emulation and Switch emulation very nicely. I'll have the option of putting in a dedicated GPU in future (GTX 1030-1660) if I want to go to 4K upscaled gaming.
When 7600 $199? Same low end CPU segment right? Or will AMD milk everyone at 2-3x prices and then 1 year down the line we will see $199?
Not for 18 months at least, it's been exactly that long since the 5600 was released (April 2021) (edit: 5600X released 2021, 5600 released much later but just lower clocks so still relevant)
It's a new node (5nm vs 7nm TSMC) so higher launch prices are expected to cover lost margins.
Realistically, if you are on at least Ryzen 3000 and don't game above 1440p or do any sort of CPU-bound applications, no need to upgrade, wait until next CPU cycle.
For anyone wondering, Umart won't price match. Gave them Scorptec and PCCG and they said no.
Still bought from Scorptec, still way cheaper even with postage. Thanks OP!
