Memory and CPU mounted on the mobo, time to power down Bubbles and get to work with a screwdriver and a vacuum!
I'm too used to changing things around for that, cable management is great for a one-time build but I tended to change bits a lot. As long as it's got airflow and they don't hit fans I'm a happy guy.You need some cable management!
Saw a bit about that on GamersNexus. They just opened up a Microcenter in Indianapolis which is a little over 3 hours away. Think I'll stick to either Chicago or Westmont, they're around an hour. (I feel spoiled with MicroCenters!)Turns out the 5600x3d will be $229 and (at least in the u.s) be sold exclusively through Microcentre
Micro Center will also sell a $329 bundle with the six-core 12-thread Ryzen 5 56003XD, an ASUS B550-Plus TUF motherboard, and 16GB of G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 memory.

Think it'll be any good? I might wait to see if it drops sub-$200....
EDITED BITS: Ok, this freaking tempts me!
That let me pass down my current cpu/mobo/ram to some needy family member.
Nice.EDITED BITS: Ok, this freaking tempts me!
I've been looking for the 5600 to drop below $100us to replace my 1600, this seems like a better option.Nice.
I've been awfully tempted to bump from my 5600X to 5800X3D but the price has stayed annoyingly stable a smidgen above what I think is 'gotta get it' price.
Don't go less than 5000 series Ryzen. I'd recommend a 5700X for 8 core to extend the life of your upgrade.Or if I want to go cheap and easy, MicroCenter has the 3600 for $79us and for $6us more they'll ship it! $92us after taxes for an Ryzen 5 3600 and I'm tempted, someone tell me to hold out for a 5600!
