AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D 3.3GHz Processor
AMD Radeon RX6650 XT 8GB GDDR6
16GB DDR4-3200 RAM
500GB Solid State Drive
Microsoft Windows 11 Home
10/100/1000 Network
802.11ac Wireless
Bluetooth 4.2
The PowerSpec G516 desktop computer is an entry level gaming machine featuring the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D processor with a Wraith Prism air cooler, an ASRock B550M-C system board powered by a 650W Gold power supply, 16GB 3200 DDR4 RAM, a 500GB NVME SSD, and a Radeon RX 6650XT 8GB discrete video card to provide a fascinating experience playing the latest games in the market!

AMD Ryzen 56003DX will release exclusively at Micro Center. That icludes the processor by itself, a bundle with mobo and memory, and in the PowerSpec gaming PC in this listing.

This will supposedly be a good bang for buck strickly in terms of gaming. I'm curious what the slickdealer experts think of this. Worth it for upgrading from a very old system on a budget? Link below for Tomshardware article on the release with some ball park benchmark comparisons:

I think this is a better deal, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093K7Z...78cde80INT

Better GPU, RAM, Storage, MB, CPU Cooler and available to many more with free shipping.

The PowerPc will need to add a fan to the rear, the MB is a generic one off, that looks cheap and the ram is the same.

That deal did look decent, although it was short lived and now back over 2k. So you can argue it was only available to many more for a very short time.

it's AMD trying to find a use for all the 5800X3Ds that didn't pass QC without having to throw them in a landfill.

That's why it's only from one vendor (microcenter) and it's only going to be on the market for a a relatively short period of time (they estimated 3-6 months depending on how fast they sell out)

Had they added in a 6700 or 6700XT instead, that would've made this deal a no brainer...

This is actually almost exactly what im going to do. Going to spend alittle more in the case and 1tb nvme. Really my only gripe is this didnt come with at least 1tb. 500tb is really only good for like 3-4 pc games now a days.

Is that windows key deal really legit though? I hesitate when i see $110 software for 7 bucks.
