I see deals like this and I just want to build. I dont need another PC. I just want to build. The value the value Mordechai.
Can't wait for these to get to $249.99 range. My guess is September when the Fed raises interest rate again and econ numbers looks bad, these deals will pop up at much nicer price. Just my guess tho
5600X has 6 cores and the 5700X has 8 cores. The 5600X has slightly higher base clocks, so it will perform a bit better in single/few threaded programs. The 5700X performs better in programs that need more threads and in greater multitasking. Both are great CPUs and the 5700x should be proportionally faster in relation to its additional cores in benchmarks.

I also live an hour away from a microcenter, 50 mins without traffic to be exact and I always drive up there for computer needs. I love it there and it's a treat, but I always carpool with friends.

Not in this deal or retail package. Its a 65w CPU so they are not hard to cool.

Plenty of $20 coolers that will keep it working well.

I went for the 5600x deal and then went back and swapped it for this. Besides the extra cores, this board has way more going for it easily justifying the difference in price.

I bought the 5600 deal about 2 weeks ago and paired it with a $20 cooler and it's been great. It is a great budget build for office work and light gaming using a spare 1650.

Bro, I'm over here asking if it's worth a 4 hour dive to atlanta. def worth 1 Smilie
Quote from deals_4_fun :
Just fyi, same bundle $360 on Amazon sold by Microcenter/Inland.
The price of the processor and board separately are 250 and 110 on amazon so that bundle isn't really a deal. Plus you have to buy a cooler.

OPs deal may be 85 off retail, but it's only about 40 bucks off amazon with the hassle of getting to a MC. Better to wait imho.

It is 150% worth the drive. Even if you go just once in your life.

I used to be surrounded by Fry'ses and now I have to drive 2 hours to a microcenter. 😭

(This is back to historical norms... Tray CPU and good motherboard for the MSRP of the retail CPU.)
