What are these retailing at? $85 or so? That's such a sweet deal, honestly, an incredible heart of a budget gaming PC.
R5 1600 AF
MSI Tomahawk B450 board
16gb 3200mhz ram
Nvidia 1660 super
All that for £525. That's insane value for money. Just wow.
This would run pretty much everything you throw at it at 1080p, no problem. Fair play AMD. Just wow.

Upon further searching, it seems the 1600AF is going for $145+ at most e-tailers I could find it at in a quick 30sec search. Amazon is the only site listing at $85.
It would have made no sense to call it an R5 2300x, when it's so close in performance to the R5 2600... R5 2600LE would have made more sense. It's within 5% or so of the R5 2600.....
Only place I've found it so far is Amazon.com....and the listing price is $85 with free shipping. Don't know how that will translate to where you are though. Link below....

Availability might improve once stocks of the older model get depleted and AMD only continues production of the newer one.
Depends on where you live. In Germany there are 16 shops listed as selling them, starting at 95€.

Just to up, a friend's shop have pass command of one for a customer and recieved the box with "Ryzen 5 1600AF" on it so it's a new name and not only a new ref,
It seem to work nearly as a 2600 but for 40 Euro less, mean the same price than a 2200G that have only 4c/4t.
