Not a bad price. It's been lower, but it's been higher too.

Still $180 at Micro Center if you have one of those nearby and need this exact CPU (otherwise might as well go for bundle with better CPU and discounted, but still expensive, ram). https://www.microcenter.com/produ...t-included

apologies as I've been out of the loop. Would this CPU compete with an i5 or an i7 13th/14th gen? CPU benchmark says considerably lower than an i7 but considerably higher than an i5.

Essentially the same processor as the 7600X, just 2 years newer (in case you were wondering!)

Hardware canucks has a a cpu scaling video. They show benchmarks for 9070xt and 5070 @1440p and it's more than competent in a strictly gaming scenario.14th gen i5 only 2 fps higher on either card. 9800x3d 6fps higher avg between the two. Of course that margin widens slightly at 1080 but tightens even more at 4k. I'm NOT saying you shouldnt get a9800x3d if it suits you or that you should pair this with a 5080 or 5090

They're essentially the same price so the 9600x is a no brainer
