Right now at Newegg, you can purchase the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU for the lowest price we've seen since it first launched in August of last year. It usually goes for around $279, but today, it's available for $229. Using promo code SSER2A34 at checkout will take an additional $10 off, bringing it down to $219.

This offer comes with some free gifts that further sweeten the deal. When you buy this processor from Newegg, you also get a Patriot P400 500GB M.2 SSD and a copy of the game Monster Hunter Wilds. Combined, the value of these adds up to over $100. We reviewed the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X ourselves and appreciated our experience, but we still recommend checking out our CPU hierarchy list to see how it compares to other processors on the market.

    It's not a bad deal, but if you look at total system cost vs. performance you get out of it, 9600X on AM5 isn't ideal.
    If you want to upgrade the CPU later on, that means you need to buy a capable and pricey mobo that drives up total cost.
    Or you can buy the cheapest AM5 mobo, which has less features than a mini-PC, and is unlikely to handle a higher power CPU.
    Instead, at that price I would look into minisforum Ryzen 7/9 MoDT or a Ryzen 7/9 5xxx/6xxx/7xxx mini-PC from whichever brand you fancy.
