I threw a new in box 3070 Ti on FB marketplace for $1200 to see if I can get any bites. I really want a 3080

CPUs have become fairly easy to get in the last few months, both team red and blue. What kind of tasks are you looking to ask of your cpu?
Primarily gaming and media playback. This is for my home PC, so lots of CPU intensive games like Total War and Civ. I'm open to AMD or Intel. I've had Intel CPUs forever, but I also have a non-Intel GPU (RX580) so it doesn't really matter to me.

Both the 5600x and 5800x have been in stock more often than not. In fact, both are in stock on BestBuy.com right now. If you're in the market for a 5900x, that's going to be more hit and miss.
And I'll defer to someone else re: Intel

So you'd recommend skipping over the 3rd gen? Found this on newegg: LINK

Can't go wrong with any 6 core/12 thread i5 or the 5600x.
The 5600x is $299 and something like the 10600k is $175. Both will perform very similarly at 1080p

Price drop is real. Things are coming down steadily. I'm not desperate but I think once I see a 3080 for 1000 or less I will bite.

Yes. Because of market pressure, prices on third gen haven’t come down at all. You’re better off just jumping to Zen 3. 5800x if you need the cores, 5600x if you don’t.

Which would you recommend between the two?

Unless there is some zip code frickery going on, both the 5600x and 5800x are still showing in stock for me.

AMD is dropping right now. Anyone won anything yet? Best Buy anyone?
Posted on 6/24/21 at 5:49 pm to finchmeister08
Amazon is currently dropping everything right now.

I really need amd to fully announce their refresh line of processors so I can stop itching over these damned drops. I only have so much self control

I don’t even know what that means.

Basically, it's a way to massively increase the processor cache, which is hugely important for gaming:
