Someone was saying they would want an X3D CPU so here is a deal for that. Slightly higher than the 9700X deal.
Maybe it's worth it to someone to pay the extra $ to upgrade from 9700X to 9800X3D
This is a different base config - you must do it here to get this CPU.
This deal STACKS with EPP for an extra 3% off to get to $4119.74 - make sure you login with EPP.

$3000?? my god crazy... 5090 Prebuilt Price Trend
Monthly benchmarks (normalized to 5090 / 32GB / 1TB config)
April — $3,500
The trigger. Realized a 5090 build is what I actually need. 9700X / 32GB / 1TB.
May — $3,775
Bought the Lenovo Legion at $4,175 (64GB / 2TB). Adjusted down -$300 for RAM, -$100 for storage = ~$3,775 effective.
Then grabbed the OMEN with 9900X3D / 64GB / 4TB at $4,700. Same -$300 / -$300 = ~$4,100, but the X3D chip is probably worth +$200, so call it ~$3,900 equivalent.
I'm deliberately pricing 32GB and 1TB low — that's what I can actually recover parting them out, so I keep those numbers conservative.
June — $3,900
Best entry price I'm seeing now for 5090 / 32GB / 1TB. Picked up a pair of 9700X / 32GB / 1TB at ~$3,900 (10% over my May deal, but I doubt we'll see $3,500 again). Bought two — figure it out later.
The trend
Up every month. ~$200/month drift on the 5090 / 32GB / 1TB baseline.
Black Friday is the wildcard. Maybe it gets back to $3,500 — but the math isn't promising given the trajectory. And even if BF pricing is good, supply is usually so thin you can't get one anyway.
Why I'm still buying
Demand is real. Someone is taking every deal.
Supply is shrinking. Nvidia is shifting capacity to data-center SKUs (more margin per wafer). Consumer 5090s will get scarcer, not cheaper.
Worst case: $5,000 that was rumored a couple of months about and no new card until 2027. That's the price ceiling I'm mentally pricing in.
I've done a lot of my own dd on 5090 price deals to see if I can buy and do something with them, use, sell, upgrade someone else's PC gear (the non-GPU parts) etc.
If I was someone JUST looking for a GPU right now, I'd just wait to see if I can snag a Super FE at MSRP directly from NVIDIA or wherever else will offer them (prob just Best Buy?). Otherwise, a Zotac open box 4080 super for 800 or a 9070xt for 600 is where I'd sit until I can get my hands on ANY FE at MSRP as a gamer.
With how crazy these prices have gotten, I opted to not keep a 5090 as a fairly casual gamer. I'm fine with my current card having 60% of the performance at 20% of the price.
What do you mean you're sitting on your 3080? If you have a 5080, what are you using the 3080 for? lol
When I look at release history, it seems like Nvidia hasn't pushed out the FEs directly from their website at a rate that would even average once a month since launch. That's definitely part of the problem. Hard to have an opportunity to snag one when you have very few chances to even get in line.
And Best Buy has been garbage for me. Every single time I waited in their stupid queue and made it to the next step it would just spin and spin and spin and do absolutely nothing. I didn't even get the courtesy of a time out.
