I chatted Best Buy and was able to get them to price match Microcenter a couple of months ago on this same CPU. Its worth a shot, took about 5 minutes.

Pretty good price. I believe the all time low was $129 earlier this year.
For those who don't know, this is for AM4 boards. It can be a decent upgrade for those still on the platform, but otherwise, find a newer chip on the latest AM5 platform.

If you can get the 5900XT for $200 at MC. I think thats a better deal. Thats what I got last time. Instead of doing a new build.

Is the 5900XT better than a Ryzen 7 7700?? I'm doing a new PC build now and ChatGPT is not eecommending the 5xxxx for a build in 2025

if your making a build from scratch try for am5 as it's newer. this cpu is for am4, if you already have am4 system that needs a CPU this is a good deal or the 5900xt.MC has am5 bundles you can look into as well if you have one locally.

This would be a good upgrade from my 3600 on my my gigabyte a320m-s2h board with RTX 2070 super.

Any suggestions on a new motherboard, ddr5 and am5 CPU? I'm not in a rush, and can even wait until Christmas honestly.

If I'm going to drop 140+ tax just for the CPU to get a little bit longer life out of the existing system, I'd rather have a solid foundation to grow from with an am5. Thanks for your suggestions ahead of time!

Get the 5800xt and use your old board, sell the old cpu, update your bios before installing. Learn how to lower the power settings so the chip will run cooler.

The only CPU I've ever had die on me. In my 25 years of building computers, I've never had to troubleshoot a failed CPU. Luckily I had a spare lying around. Strangest damn thing because the compute was working and operating sort of normally but failing random crap. Made it seem like a mobo failure. Just bad luck, it lasted many years.
