Wow. And here when the CPU dropped and I scooped it up for $500 after motherboard purchase discount I was doing great. Not even a year and it is almost at half price.
Sure if Covid-19 didn't happen things might have been even better in our consumer like fashion.

I paid $399 for my Ryzen 3900x 3 months ago , now it can be had for $390US Dollars at MC USA , it's a win win situation for everybody 🙂 , got to love competition.

Competition goes both ways or more hopefully by 2022 will be 3 ways in the gpu market. Now we are talking about companies that are in the market to make money... Amd sold mainstream cpus at 1099 in the past during their athlonx2 &64 period before intel brings out the core 2 generation ....i believe it was the fx 57 . I am pretty sure they will rise prices as much as they can when ever they can

Cheers mate, nah, not looking, I'll be holding out for a while.

Furloughed?

yeah but it's not to do with that. I don't see a reason to upgrade for a while yet.

I've had my 3900X since (after my order being delayed for like 2 months) August or September last year and for the price I got it at (heavily discounted) I can't complain about anything aside from the tuning it requires due to terrible default/auto voltages. But for anyone thinking of one for a gaming rig, I'd say wait for Zen 3 considering games STILL don't make use of its many threads, they get very little and often close to zero extra performance out of it.
Hell, maybe you should just get a 3300X with a seemingly mismatched X570 that promises Zen 3 support, for a beefy upgrade later on, if games are what you're mostly doing.

It's not though... But cheers pal...

Getting a B550-I from ASUS when it’s available then WAS gonna get a 3600 to hold me till 4900/4950x but at this price I may just say phuck it and grab a 3900x.

What do you mean? What is it?

Great price but personally i prefer the 3700/3800X. The 3900X is overkill for a gamer like me.
Competition is great for both sides.;)

May not be if games try to emulate the SSD performance of the consoles in the future. We may need the extra threads to cover up for not having the custom I/O coprocessors.

Good time to buy but ive seen the 3900x for almost £800 on the upper end of the scale, just a case of sellers being realistic vs greedy, i get at most 33% cpu usage with my r7 3800x in the division2, although it does seem to make use of 8 cores just not any threads, i still think for games like the division the i7 7700k is the sweet spot....main reason i changed over to Amd was to get the most out of my Corsair mp600`s.

Honestly, this is the best it's ever been for buying CPUs in the 15 years I've been building. At any price point, you can get a really good CPU for the money.
squalles
yeah and i5 1400f kicking her ass in games costing 160 dollars

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss, the 300 series and 400 series chipsets are nearly identical, It may be "unofficially" supported like what you see with a320 boards.
