An open-box Ryzen 5 3600 is $123 at Micro Center in store. Pair that with their flat $20 discount when purchasing a compatible motherboard and you've got a 3600 for just over $100.

Even if you don't get it open-box, it's still $135 - $155 minus the $20 motherboard discount. Still a great deal.

yikes you guys in the US get amazing deals.

The USA has the best deals by far, but to be fair there's some crazy instore deals in other parts of the world.

In Europe, the Ryzen 3 1200AF is actually available and is $40-50 in most places.

 

In the UK, they have these Kolink v2 PSUs that are independent reg, solid units and sell for $30.

 

In Germany, you can get Cherry MX keyboards for $30. 

In India, an i3 9100F is $50, a region exclusive Ryzen 3 3600 without hyperthreading for $100, and locally made Cherry MX Blue keyboards for $25.

Which store is this at? Usually "Open box" is based on inventory at the store, so likely only one or two of these stores can actually take advantage of this deal, since CPU's cannot be bought from MC online.
