Is this considered a good price? I have been out of the PC parts shopping quest for a while.

this is pretty good considering its $70 bucks over the lowest shown at $500 in june 2025, that was last year. but it really determines what you are getting it for. at 4k gaming, theres almost no difference from a ultra 270k+ vs this aside the price is like 40% cheaper, even more if your near a microcenter.

Ive had this since day 1. thankfully Most games dont use the 2nd ccd(it ignores it automatically in windows). But theres a couple of games where you need to use processor lasso to tell the .exe to only use the 8cores 16threads that has 3d vcache. Its a 1 time step for each game that you want to do that. Most games do it automatically through windows. The extra cores meant my computer never froze or struggled to do anything. Full cores, full speed. Im using a 420mm aio cooler tho, but it stays under 72c under max load.

Yes, absolutely! This is the first sale I've seen since its release that brings it below $600 from authorized retailers.

Usually, this hovers around $649 - $669, and might include a free AIO Cooler and/or game. But this sale puts the savings in your pocket, and includes a free AIO Cooler too.

You must mean the regular 9950X, not the 9950X3D. I did a quick check and there was a price drop in June 2025 for the 9950X (non-3D variant).

You may be correct that there is almost no perceivable difference between the standard 9950X and the 270k+. However, for users looking to take advantage of the extra L3 Cache provided by 3D V-Cache, the 9950X3D is superior.

Regarding 4K Gaming, based on my personal experience with my 9950X3D that I've owned since December 2025, the main benefit of running an X3D CPU at 4K is improving the 1% and 0.1% lows. A secondary benefit is boosting performance with FSR/DLSS.

It will probably be gone before I decide on it, but any decently price motherboards to go along with it? Thinking of slowly buying PC parts over time. Coming from a AM4 build.

My advice would be to buy the CPU first for a couple reasons:
1.) You'll lock in the discount. You can always cancel or return it for a full refund if it ships.
2.) Knowing what CPU you're using helps determine the support you want from the motherboard. If you grab this, the quickest way to ensure optimal support is going with an X870E board.

Regarding your question, yes, there are plenty of decently priced motherboards. For the X870E range, I'd stick to sub-$400 boards. There is currently a $189.99 MSI X870E Gaming Max WiFi [newegg.com] board at Newegg, featuring a 64MB BIOS.

Once you decide on a budget, features and UEFI design should be your top priority.

If you have an AM4 build already, I'd hold off and save up. The next AMD release, likely Q1 2027, steps up to a 2nm processor. They're also talking about increase cores per die. When that comes out, these should be at this price regularly. Hopefully, by then the shortage improves and brings down RAM and M.2 prices. If you need performance now, consider upgrading your GPU if you play at 1440p or higher. You can then re-use the GPU in your next PC build.

Please bear in mind that with each release of CPUs, obtaining one is incredibly difficult the first few months. And the X3D CPUs usually release roughly 6 months after the standard lineup. If Zen 6 launches in March 2027, a 9950X3D successor might launch September 2027, and normalize its supply by December 2027. But it'll still probably cost about $699.

Memory prices may or may not come down in price next year. If you want or need an upgrade sooner than later, this deal will save you $130 directly - which you can put towards a kit of RAM or other components.

As for whether the 9950X3D will be available at $569 during Zen 6's launch - don't count on it.
Based off the 7950X3D's history, that was silently discontinued before the 9950X3D released. With a best price of $450 - $465 during the summer preceding the 9950X3D's March 2025 release, the 7950X3D's sale price continually went up until it disappeared in February 2025. If Zen 6 X3D launches by September 2027, I'd expect Q4 this year to be when AMD silently discontinues the 9950X3D. If they leave any product in production until Zen 6 X3D, it'd be their more expensive 9950X3D2 - but I doubt it'd ever drop below the 9950X3D's $699 MSRP.

A new GPU is solid advice, but not everyone needs one. That said, if you need help figuring out which one to get, or if you even need one, feel free to PM me (with your system specs).

Buying parts over time, that approach has some drawbacks. Particularly, 30 day return window is not available in the event of defective components.

If you're on AM4 AND have 32GB of ram, just get the 5800x3d if you need an upgrade for gaming. I absolutely would not have upgraded away from my AM4 in Jan '26 if I could have just purchased a new x3d chip (5800x3d) at $300 5 months later.

Considering the mess created by AI, it might be very economical to wait. Don't let FOMO make you upgrade now if you can't even use it now.

Ugh, this is the CPU I intended to upgrade to this when it came out, but I could never justify the price over the 7950X3D I put in my summer 2024 build. Now I'm just not sure it's worth it. And with Zen6 being pin compatible and my B650 (Taichi Lite) board likely to get updates I'll probably wait and leapfrog this generation.
