Grab an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU for Only $177: Real Deals
A brilliant price for an AM4 upgrade
If you're looking for a cheap upgrade for your AM4-based PC then you should consider this deal from Newegg. Although not the fastest or best CPU for gaming, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X for only $177 is a great price for this CPU. The 5700X is still an eight-core 16-thread processor and has a 4.6 GHz boost clock, so this could be a massive upgrade on an older 3000-series processor. Use coupon code BDNW26 to get this CPU at this price.
One of our favorite budget monitors has even more knocked off of its already low price. You can now pick up a Monoprice Dark Matter (model-42770) 24-Inch gaming monitor for only $149. It's maybe not the largest size or highest resolution, but it is edge-lit and boasts a rapid 144Hz refresh for such a low price. We reviewed the Monoprice Dark Matter 42770 and highly rated its build quality and performance for its budget price - giving it an Editor's Choice award for its value.
Another winner of our Editor's Choice award after review, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate gaming mouse was praised for its accurate sensor and long battery life, with its main con being its price. However, with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate back on sale for $69, that particular con is negated, and it's worth picking up this great mouse for either gaming or productivity work.

Jimbojan For a $177 price, AMD will not have any profit, or even will incur a loss. But if AMD not to sell it, it even has a bigger loss, it is real dilemma for AMD.Reply -
Kona45primo There's still plenty of profit to be had on 5000 series chips. There is more money per chip to be made by retailers of AMD chips & AMD vs Intel. Hence the reason for Intel's huge stock price drop last week.Reply
That being said it's a smoking deal for this chip. Just upgraded from a 3700x which I sold for $100. Not a bad upgrade for under $100. Runs just as cool or cooler than the 3700x. Gave a nice little bump in fps and will keep me happy for a few years.
