The real slickdealer should have scored $400+ 7900x3d and $500+ 7900xtx in the amazon resale. Microcenter had 7700x for $100 in bundles a long time ago, and 5700x for $100 even longer time ago. If you can buy from microcenter and you are buying ryzen 5, you should wait for deals like that.
...by which time you'll want a newer proc than what's on a fire sale at that point in time. Or, you could find 'good deals' on the things you want 'now' and be using those things rather than waiting for an indeterminate length of time for an uncertain deal.

But apparently AMD has upped the TDP to 88W via motherboard firmware updates and then again to 105W via the AGESA 1.2.0.1a Patch A. The chip can be lowered down to operate at the lower 65W range like originally intended, or you could operate it at 105W and it would gain a much larger boost in performance. Not really in gaming though. This boost really shines if you were doing other things like video encoding, unloading large zip/rar files, a.i. local workloads, etc.
You could flip back and forth between the TDP ranges based on what you are doing. Like go to 65W when gaming, then up the TDP to 105W when doing the above mentioned tasks.
The thing that really sold me is the performance of the 9700x vs a 5600x (which I'm using now). The video encoding leap is tremendous. Even comparing the 9600x to the 9700x is a large jump too. In x265 encoding the leap was 20-30FPS faster compared to the 9600x. If you're encoding large videos (long runtimes) that will save you an incredible amount of time. The leap from 7600x to 9600x in video encoding is about 20FPS. So imagine the leap going from 5600x to 9700x. A real game changer.
