so I'm finally looking to build a computer again. I was going to just buy a prebuilt gaming rig but was talked out of it. In the past, I've always personally gone with Intel chips. Are AMD more comparable than they were years ago?

Intel still has better single core performance but it's not comparable to how much more they are. You should order one of these right now. It's a killer deal and very future proof. Intel's equivalent is $105 more currently when not on sale. It's just not worth it to build Intel over amd IMO.

BTW this includes the wraith prism cooler not the wraith stealth led cooler.

Wraith prism cooler is awesome looking.

Newegg and then Amazon had it this low a couple weeks ago. Chances are they will run the sale again if there isn't a Microcenter near you. I just finished building my system. The cooler does looks awesome. It seems to keep it cool enough so I would add that into the overall value of the processor. The free game itself is another added value. I have such a huge backlog though, that for me it would only be a $10 value (in other words, I'd get it when it's on sale a year after release). Nice freebie to have. You can also grab the 3600 for $160, but them extra cores, nicer cooler, and free game is what made me go 3700x.

I'd say so now. Although I've read that Linux drivers are still hit or miss if that's your think.

Do yourself a favor and buy an aftermarket cooler. A Hyper 212 Black RGB will lower temps by at least 10 degrees.

AMD is now the better choice but I'm looking for a Slickdeals price and a seller other than Micro Center.

Amazon has it for $270 all the time. With 5% CB using Prime CC, it's ends up being cheaper.

I'd prefer a lower price without the stupid game.
