          That would be an insta buy right now, just hoping to see some deals this weekend.

          Most prices on Ebay are marked up to $649 so they can pretend to offer a 20% discount, when in reality it’s something like $20 off.

          I’m refreshing ozbargain and staticice constantly now lol

            Why not go AM5? You can buy 7800x3d + tomahawk b650 for $820 in Australia atm(sale). Add some ram for 150 and you’ll be good. Yes it’ll cost double but you’d be buying into a platform that’ll be supported for another 2 generations.

              I’m looking to replace the CPU only, I don’t have the budget for more than this

              I already run a higher end b550 motherboard and B die RAM.

      It was $370 end of last week at both Canada Computers and for a short window on Amazon. Sorry you missed it. Hopefully tomorrow it comes down.

        It did not come down.on the Friday. If I am lucky Monday for cyber sales. But crazy it went on sale for $370 the week before black Friday. Seems almost to be done on purpose.
