Cyber Monday is here! And with it comes a horde of amazing hardware deals. One of the best offers we’ve spotted over the festivities is a massive discount on the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. At just $139.99, this excellent mid-range gaming CPU is less than half price, and very close to an all-time low.
AMD is known for making excellent gaming CPUs, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a very capable bit of kit that would be an upgrade to a lot of gaming rigs. Its six cores, 12 threads, and 4.6GHz max boost clock mean it handles most if not all gaming loads with ease.
Although it’s a last-generation processor, it still has plenty left to give and can act as a slot-in upgrade to existing owners of compatible AM4 motherboards. If you’re hoping to build a budget PC, AM4 boards are also going for cheap these days as well, even outside of sales.
