I feel like I remember waiting during the pandemic for Best Buy and Amazon to price match themselves down on this to a reasonable price. I think Amazon got down to actually $150 at one point, then Best Buy did $149.99 and the next day it was back up to $200-something. Then the prices of computer components seemed to just get higher. Everyone got stimulus money and started building computers. I wanted to build a computer because it was easier than trying to find a PS5.
Ah… the good ol days. These are the kinds of stories I'll tell my great grandchildren.

I do know that these doesn't go much less than this but don't really worth buying these over 5600 for this price. Should buy 5700x if it is actually "needed".

If anyone is trying to build a budget PC from scratch, the i3-12100 processor on eBay is probably the best value right now if you plan on running a GPU.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/32529986...media=COPY

It's equally fast to this chip for desktop and gaming functions. It's just a little slower at workstation tasks like video editing or CAD that most people don't utilize anyway. The biggest advantage is that the LGA1700 socket gives you an upgrade path all the way up to the fastest processor currently available (i9-13900KS). That's an upgrade potential of 40% faster for desktop computing and 120% faster workstation ability, which is a virtually unheard of upgrade potential.

I'd argue if you're worried about upgrade potential am5 is the way to go, as it's likely to get several generations of new chips. Otherwise you're spot on for value for a solid budget build.

That's probably a good point if that manifests. I haven't heard news about how long the AM5 socket will be supported.

I'm no expert on the latest Ryzens, but a quick search seems to show a Ryzen 5 7600 as the lowest current model fitting the AM5. That's a $230 chip versus about $125 for the i3-12100 and a vastly superior cooler. Still if a person values the 20% faster capability of the AMD and integrated graphics, it might make the most sense.
