Ok deal - Ryzen 5 3600 - $180 - YMMV

[SocomSuade]

At Newegg. No tax (at least where I live) and free ship.

Not the deal of the year but I have been watching this CPU for a few weeks and just ordered this one to save $20. Comes with Xbox PC pass.

 

YMMV due to taxes and if you have a local Microcenter with this in stock.

Buy it...that's a good deal.

Literally always 180 at the local microcenter and today its actually selling for 170. Granted they sellout as well because of that and the motherboard bundle deals.

Fair point but after tax it is only $1 less and TBH they were never in stock when I started looking so i stopped checking Microcenter.

 

But if they have it at your location it is $1 less and can take home today so a better deal.

It's more than 20 dollars less if you buy a motherboard with it.

Avoid taxes like the plague.  Shouldn't have to pay your local government to carry out business with a private entity.  

 

And from my experience only when buying a cheap board does this create any sort of savings.  By the time you buy a expensive board (x299 for example from a recent threadripper build my brother and I did) its not really savings.  The only reason we picked Microcenter was we needed that PC today

Agreed on all fronts.

 

Really did not want to include a mobo into this because that is just a can of worms and costs another $100 to save $20, etc. Plus my local place only has two B450's in stock etc.

 

Anyway just wanted to share the deal.

 

It was $20 less for me and I have been looking online for like 3 weeks consistently and not everyone has a Microcenter.

 

Updated OP with YMMV

Yup I saw the price and if it wasn't for the golden sample 1700 I have I would have bought it today already.  But since my OC beats it on all fronts in benches I cant justify it
