For these prices the ryzen platform is quickly becoming more expensive than intel!!!
Now Ryzen 9 is much more expensive than i 9900k (800 USD vs 480 USD!!!) - nobody talks about that here - and Ryzen 7 3700x on amazon is between 460 - 500 USD while i 9900 k is 485 USD and motherboards for intel are cheaper.
Why would I consider a ryzen 3 cpu for gaming on a new platform when motherboards are so expensive and AMD CPU are in gaming less or equal with intel but with a bigger price for the platform.
After launch prices for ryzen (especially the high performance parts) went up a little too much...
Here (UK), on Amazon, 9900K is 50% more expensive than 3700x and 10% cheaper than 3900x
EDIT: checked Amazon.com prices... the $799 3900x is simply because of 3rd party sellers price-gouging it. It looks like Amazon itself doesn't have it in stock (same for 3700x), but its historical price when sold directly has been $499

Ryzen 7 3700X is actually 344€ and you can get it even with a 10% discount ( ~325€) here in Germany.
Where and how did you get those prices, man?
Moreover, more expensive than Intel is a overstatement, can we agree on that?

I actually swapped to this board from an ASUS X570-E because the ASUS board kept powering off randomly. Few interesting things - It might be because Gigabyte has a newer bios then I had on the x570-E but I can maintain the 4.6Ghz rated boost on my 3900x way more on the Gigabyte then I could on the ASUS. Also the Gigabyte doesn't require you to remove like 9 shrouds to plug a M.2 in. The chipset fan is a little louder on the gigabyte and I prefer ASUS's UEFI layout more but overall I think the Gigabyte is the better board.
