My mind was blown when I saw a 7800x3D for over $100 off on black friday despite being a literal top tier part. you’d expect ryzen/intel chips from 2 years ago to have discounts like that, not the literal best gaming CPU at the moment. It’s nice to see value for these components, even when they are at the top of the stack. given am5 boards are cheaper now (b650s are good value) and DDR5 has dropped in price and 6000/cl30 kits are cheaper now, it’s a great time to upgrade.
