Not an all time low of $499 iirc, but a decent deal nevertheless for people that might need it. Enjoy!
CamelCamelCamel.
For gaming probably 5800x3d, productivity, streaming and editing probably the 5900x IMO.

A measly $30 less than local retailers.
If someone needed it, they would just get it locally.
u can get the new version with a game for $100 more
If you're starting from scratch, I'd recommend AM5 since DDR5 and AM5 motherboards aren't ludicrously expensive anymore
If you've already got an AM4 system, this would be a much cheaper upgrade option
They have some deals on for AM5 cpu mobo combos on at the moment. You can get a 7600 and mobo for nearly the same price as this deal.

Some of those combos are actually appealing. When you consider the 7900X combo its one of the cheapest priced CPU's and the board is only $20 more than pcpartpickers cheapest.
The DDR5 doesnt seem to be worth adding though. Avoid :S
If only there were nice cheap options for ITX , I'll be stuck on AM4 until ITX becomes available at a reasonable cost relatively speaking.
After waiting a decade, I decided on an AM4 ITX build, 5900x. But prices & stock were POO.
I kept running combinations, until I stumbled across 7700x (AM5)… and everything finally made sense.
If I'm spending the money, it seemed like peanuts more to go latest.
I wanted 12c/24t badly… but for no honest reason "just coz".
It's $511.09 now, only $2 more than the Computer Alliance eBay deal (now OOS).
This or 5800x3D?
