5800x is hard to pass up at that price.
I kinda have the hate for Microcenter and their "in store only". Nearest one being 1k miles away or more =/

3700x still worth getting even though 2 years old? I want to build an AMD desktop not in a rush just plan on buying parts here and there whenever on sale and will just get a gpu eventually when the price drops and become more wildly available

For $200 IMO absolutely. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I didn't have to drive 50 min to my local Microcenter. The 5 series are already 1 yo fwiw

or should i follow what this guy says? i do plan on keeping mb until it breaks. i usually keep my desktops for 5 years+ or until breaks lol

"you will get 5600x in that range this coming black friday, and you dont want to buy 3700x since your mother board will support up to 5000 series and thats the last am4 it will support, so dont buy 3700x instead buy 5000 if you plan to use your motherboard for a while"

Agree. I have one a little over 2 hrs away. But its in a state that charges sales tax and I live in one that doesn't. So it ruins it even for a day trip to go check it out.

I tend to agree with this. If you are looking between the 3700x and 5600x I would go 5600k.

Fantastic price for all the processors. Got the 5800x at the MRSP last December. No regret at all.

I have a 5600x and a 3700x. If you are on a budget get the 3700x. The extra cores help make up for the better 5600x IPC gains. I use both for video encoding and the times are neck and neck.
If you are looking for something while waiting for a graphics card get a 5600g or 5700g. The 5700g should be good for 1080p gaming.

it depends on your use case. for productivity, i believe 3700x is a great value at $200 at this point in time. for gaming, the 5600x will perform better and also age a bit better despite the core disadvantage. for me personally, since i only play games, i would get the 5600x currently at $260.

regarding waiting until BF - if you can wait, you should always wait. otherwise you spent more on hardware that you wouldn't really be gaining appreciable performance (main reason why i'm still keeping my 8600k even though i'm looking for every excuse to upgrade...).

the other big thing is pcie gen 4 - if you have a use for it now or in the near future, then the 5000 series makes more sense. if not, don't worry too much about it, since you'll be keeping your pc as long as possible (so futureproofing doesn't really apply). this might sound counter-intuitive - but in 5+ years, you'll most likely want to upgrade your entire platform, not just the pcie devices (gpu, ssd).

this is just my 2 cents, and i'd be happy to hear from others' input.

yes i will use it for medium gaming like Diablo 2 R, PoE 2, Dota, CS GO, Diablo 4 (if good). So prob will wait for 5600x to get down in price. My current setup is i5-2500K, 16 gb ddr2 ram, GTX 560 Ti.
