how many times has this been posted? they've had these 25+ in stock at multiple Microcenters since at least September 2025, and price has increased from 1999 then to 2399 now. you can snag an open box to save $200 or so, but it's still overpriced imo.

Cpu is excellent. But better for productivity than games. You'd be surprised to know that not everybody who buys a PC uses it exclusively for games. That said, a 270k+ would be marginally better.

AMD is crappy as it's only good for video games. Some of us use PCs for work and not nintendo games.

For gaming Ryzen 7 9800x3d is much better, for Productivity & Multitasking the Intel is better.
Amd is also $100 more expensive.

Every time the price increases by 100 bucks it will continue to get reposted because sadly it's still the best deal out there
