We have seen some insane deals on the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU but Microcenter has gone one step ahead by listing it at the lowest price yet.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an absolute steal at its $399 US or so price point that it is usually available at. The CPU has seen some amazing discounts down the $399 US mark which is great considering this chip has an MSRP of $449 US and you can get it for almost $100 US less but now, Microcenter has gone all out with the best-discounted deal of all retailers across the US for this specific chip.
Microcenter is offering the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU for a price of just $329.99 US, a $120 US discount over the MSRP, or a -26% cut. This is a fantastic price which makes the Ryzen 7 7700X entirely non-existent with its $349.99 US pricing as of right now. Even the Core i5-13600K which usually falls around the same price can't match this beast of a gaming chip which is so efficient, that it pulls ahead of the flagship Core i9-13900K in most instances while consuming less power than the 13600K.
But Microcenter has one extra edge over other retailers and that's the "Eligible Motherboard" promo. Although it isn't listed on the site, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D can receive an additional $30 US off when a compatible AM5 motherboard is purchased. Considering that most new builders will need to buy an AM5 motherboard with the CPU, you are in for an even better price on the chip. At $299 US, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an unbeatable processor and the best gaming value there is right now. The $299 US pricing also marks a -33.4 % discount which is totally insane for a chip that is less than 6 months old.
For new PC builders and gamers who have been waiting to build a PC, getting an AM5 motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and some fast DDR5 memory will be a great choice. The AM5 platform will also be supported for several upcoming generations of Ryzen CPUs, unlike Intel's LGA 1700 socket which will retire soon after the launch of the 14th Gen CPUs next week.
