I have been mainlining information about processors for the past two weeks. Getting ready to build my first computer in almost 10 years.

Initially I was going to do a cheap Ryzen 5 5600 build in a mini ATX enclosure, but then the i5 13600 came out and I was going to purchase a full size B660 board and an enormous tower, after this price drop I think I am committing to an AM5 build on an mini itx case. The motherboards are similarly priced and I don't want to build on an almost dead platform like lga1700.

Additionally, the whole heat complaints about the 7xxx chips are absurd as you can undervolt and they run at extremely low temps with no performance loss. This takes no effort and involves changing a single BIOS setting.

Basically this and the i5 13600 are similar in performance (Ryzen tends to be better with games, i5 tends to be better with rendering and compression) with the i5 needing about 40% more power. This rises to something like 65% more when comparing to an undervolted Ryzen.

In reality, nobody will ever notice a difference unless you're doing a ton of renders or video conversions, and even then the difference is not extreme.

Pick your poison and best of luck.

Great price..! Performance wise is neck-and-neck with the Intel Core i5-13600K [amazon.com] which is $300 at Amazon right now... Great time to build a PC...!

Not sure they liked it but can confirm Microcenter will price match this plus the 50 off a mobo and the free 32gb ram. Super steal if it is still live tomorrow!

The Microcenter deal is a great deal, CPU with free 32GB of ram and 50 off a MB when bought with the CPU. That said you need to have one near you and for me it's over 2 hours 1 way to the closest one. If they let you mail order it I be all over it. I was going for the AMD vs the Intel 13gen due to the power needed for the Intel is huge, it's like they just said who cares ship it... Now to find a good MB

I am in almost the same boat as you except for 8 years since my last build. I have been going back and forth. There doesn't seem to be any good motherboard deals to go with either the 13600k or this 7700x unless you live near a micro center. I have been waiting to see if a good deal on a motherboard comes for Black Friday and let that make the decision.

Wow they let you price match with the free ram? I didn't even consider asking and I got I went and got it this morning. It's a two hour round trip, not sure if I will go back for $50 bucks, seems like they will only do it in-store.

By the way, you can save an extra $10 on newegg right now on 7600X and 7700X

Do you think they will price match if I got the combo this past Saturday if this Amazon and MC deal is still live this upcoming Saturday? Visiting family so I am lucky enough to pass by MC in Dallas, but not convenient to go by on normal days. Everything is still sealed from my Saturday purchase

YMMV with microcenter pricematch. I just spoke with someone on the chat and they said they will not pricematch the CPU because the price is too low (less than what MC paid).
