Good deal, I ended up picking on up at MicroCenter for $70. The CPU so far seems good, similar to Ryzen 5 3600, not the same obviously. I'm confident it can handle most of my task.

I had a 3600 and it's does actually performs better, single core and multi core it's a step up over it. It's like the 2nd or 3rd best selling cpu right now for a reason.
