This will be one of the fastest, but also cheapest, X3D releases on an AM4 platform, provided you can visit your nearest Micro Center.
Micro Center slashes the Ryzen 5600X3D, B550 motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM by $194, bringing it down to just $249 for a limited time
DDR5 memory and its platforms are extremely expensive these days. While we have a great $650, 32GB DDR5 Ryzen 7700X3D motherboard bundle sold at Micro Center, not everyone has the budget to spend over $600 on just three components. Since DDR4 is still going strong, it’s a good time to create a powerful DDR4-based gaming build that will cost you a lot less and perform exceptionally well in games.
We came across one such listing on Micro Center, which now bundles three components for those looking to build or upgrade their PC with newer, faster parts. This bundle includes the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, a GIGABYTE B550 motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM for almost $200 less. The bundle usually sells for $444, but for a limited time, the retailer has reduced its price to just $249making it the cheapest X3D bundle ever.
The Ryzen 5 5600X3D may not be the fastest gaming processor, but it surely rivals the new AM5-based non-X3D processors in games. With 6 cores and 12 threads, and an additional 64MB of L3 cache, it’s enough to push your frame rates into triple digits, provided you pair it with a decent budget GPU like the Radeon RX 9060 XT. Install it on GIGABYTE B550M DS3H AC R2 motherboard and you will get all the basic features in a compact size.
Then add two 8GB sticks of DDR4 RAM and half of your build is complete. For users on a tight budget, there is no better deal than this, but you will have to visit your nearest Micro Center store to get this deal.
