Best CPU value?

[SwingLifeAway92]

Best bang for your buck are used cpus x5650s if you can find a board for a reasonable price its old yes but 6 cores 12 threads easily able to overclock above 4.0ghz (have to overclock it otherwise the cpus not worth the effort) which is a little bellow 3770 single core speeds. I've done multiple builds with them and usually I spend 150-200 on the cpu motherboard and ram all together. Anything above that price point would warrant either Ryzen 5 now or waiting for coffee lake stock to come in as just about every used quad core is overpriced as hell unless you buy locally off swap sites.

You are not going to find black Friday deals on products that don't even have stock/exist yet/in high demand.

Z370 boards are expensive.

DDR4 is expensive.

Didn't know you can tell the future. 

They're expensive to you maybe.
