Grab a new gaming CPU for a bargain price, thanks to this AMD Ryzen 5 9600X deal

There’s never been a better time to upgrade to a brand new AMD gaming CPU if you’re on a tight budget, as the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X price has just dropped to $179.99. Not only is this figure the lowest ever price for this CPU on Amazon, but it’s also nearly $100 cheaper than this CPU’s $279 launch price only nine months ago.

In fact, at this price, this new AMD CPU is now even cheaper than its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X, which is one of the best gaming CPUs you can buy if you don’t have big bucks to spend. With six cores based on the mighty Zen 5 architecture, this new chip is even quicker than the 7600X, thanks to the improvements made in AMD’s latest CPU architecture, and it also boosts to up to 5.4GHz, giving it a 100MHz advantage over its predecessor.
