Agreed. The 5700G is a good CPU with truly great integrated graphics, but AMD has kept the price so inflated that a price point like this is hard to clearly label a slick deal.

If someone has already been shopping the 5700G this could be a respectable bundle price for them, especially considering this is widely available for shipping.

However, anyone simply shopping a CPU/motherboard deal would only value the motherboard around $60 (basically, the price of the cheapest retail option). That puts this CPU's effective valuation in the deal at $180. As I suggested earlier, that's not bad but is still more than you might pay at Micro Center (assuming you have access to one nearby). Additionally, the MC option bundles the cooler(!).

Reminder that the 5700X is arguably a better choice for pairing with a dedicated graphics card, as AMD has limited the G-series to PCIe 3.0 (and made some other compromises). The fact that the G-series delivers graphics performance on par with a GT 1030 is truly a feat for integrated graphics, but those with needs beyond basic productivity and/or onboard connectivity would likely get more value from a model without an iGPU.

Good luck!

This does not come with a heatsink. So budget for that in your purchase.
It was 199.99 three months ago.

I ordered it last Friday and I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. This store might have the worst shipping department possible.

Just received it.
The CPU is taped to the box. It's hilarious. No cooling solution. Picture attached.

At least it wasn't in a sandwich bag?

Good luck!

Yeah, I was about to call MSI since I didn't see the CPU anywhere. Cheap Idiots.
