Seems like a very good deal if you consider the motherboard (which is the only X570M board) itself sells for over $200 (cheapest I can find is $235 on Static Ice).

Would pair well with the $44.55 mATX case posted just earlier.

      genuine question:
      how come?
      i'm looking to build a new mid tier gaming (21:9 1080p) pc and is trying to decide between AMD and Intel. Current PC is based on Ryzen 5 1600x.

        Budget PC and 1080p you should def look into Intel, i5

        • 00sas00 on 16/05/2021 - 19:09

          yeah i was tossing up between a i5 10400f + 3060ti or Ryzen 5 5600x + 3060ti…
          thanks for the info.

        • 00sas00 on 16/05/2021 - 19:10

          thanks for the info.

      • ln28909 on 16/05/2021 - 19:08

        11400 and 11600k are cheaper and provide you with the same gaming experience as this overpriced cpu

            @00sas00: The 3060ti is probably the rarest gpu to find unless you have one already your better off going for a different gpu.

            @00sas00: Look at Radeon RX 6700 XT instead of 3060ti. More VRAM and much more available (although still hard to find)

          Is that taking into account the motherboard? According to my brief amateur research, Intel CPUs are cheaper than AMD but the motherboards are more expensive.

          Also the motherboard support doesn't span across as many generations of CPUs. So later you can only upgrade the CPU to the next generation (which is not cost-effective enough to be worth it) without buying a new motherboard. Whereas with the AMD motherboards you can skip a generation. Is that right?

            @ben-j: The 5000 series cpus are the last for this AMD socket so not relevant right now.

          • ln28909 on 16/05/2021 - 23:41

            @ben-j: B560 motherboard (intel) is just as cheap as b450 motherboard (amd)

            • Hornpub on 19/05/2021 - 22:13

              @ln28909: yeah i wish that is the case for itx boards………i was gonna buy 11400f then i started looking into itx boards………….
              now i am back to 5600x…….

          • Hornpub on 19/05/2021 - 22:15

            @ben-j: i see you point, but when was the last time you actually upgraded your cpu without replace the mobo?

    Oh no… my wallet doesn't need this right now!

  • xyron on 17/05/2021 - 11:05

    Good deal. I've got this board with a 3700X and have been very happy with it.

  • milkabuck on 17/05/2021 - 12:02

    Great deal on the precise CPU and MB combo I've been after for my first upgrade in 5 years! Thanks OP!

  • Mouse123 on 17/05/2021 - 12:36

    good price but no GPU to match，sad

  • robbie613 on 17/05/2021 - 15:26

    What's a good case and cpu fan with this for a quiet no bling setup?

    • seerious on 17/05/2021 - 18:43

      edit
      I was wrong. Don't think this fits the NR200.

      • Hornpub on 19/05/2021 - 22:14

        nr200 only fit itx or dtx board.

    CPU benchmark charts indicate the i5-10400f scores 12530 whereas the 5600X scores 22192 and whilst sheer CPU power does not necessarily translate into a better gaming experience it is the better option for a build that you want to last a few years.

    I purchased this naively thinking they'd send it with a compatible bios installed but they did not. Anybody else have the same problem? Not sure what to do now as I don't have a compatible CPU lying around 😕

    • Mr SP on 24/05/2021 - 23:30

      I came here to warn about this very thing.

      Admittedly, I had some notice. I had a warning about it. But generally, I expected it would be ready out-of-the-box. Why else would they sell it? Not so. After hours of frustration and confusion, I realised my problem, checked my BIOS sticker, saw it was a 2.6 (6 months before they added compatibility), and spent another hour futilely searching for a way to update the bios without another CPU. Some ASROCK Motherboards can. Not this one.

      I am going to ring up a nearby PC repairman in the morning, and beg for help. Failing that, I will complain to the retailer and hope I can get their weakest compatible CPU from it.

      • martyn on 25/05/2021 - 10:19

        I ended up getting a local PC repair shop to update it, cost me $50 which killed most of the saving!

        • Mr SP on 27/05/2021 - 18:06

          I have a much more depressing story.

          I got a PC technician to update it. It cost me nothing… because in their professional opinion, my brand new CPU is borked. After successfully updating the bios, it continued to not boot. Thankfully for me, this counts as an incomplete job, which means I don't have to pay. (Good to know those guarantees are a real thing that really exists in the real world.) On the downside, I have to hope that I can navigate the treacherous road of warranties and liability.

          Hopefully, PCByte is good about this.

          • martyn on 27/05/2021 - 20:14

            @Mr SP: That sucks, hopefully they fix things for you. I complained to pcbyte but they claim the supplier told them the bios would be compatible
