$120 Ryzen 5 5600 in the distance: 👁 👄 👁

Ryzen 5500 and 5600 being thrown out the window 😅

[darianlee]

It’s $10…

I wish the prices were that close in my country

[chad-hfpu]

The difference now is even bigger, in Europe 12100F is 100€, 13100F is 130€. I wonder how the prices will change when 14100F will be released in January.

October 2023 I got the 12100f for $63 (including tax & shipping). Somewhere down the line I'll swap it out for like a 14700k. It just made more sense than spending more at the time. (And was a big upgrade over my 4790k system.)

It is definitely the 13490f, it is ~10$ cheaper than the 13400f and has higher clocks and more cache.

[OzelBlox]

I need answer, does RTX 3060 Vision has VR support?

[SpoonHurler]

You do get more budget mobo options with the 12100f cause you might need bios flash back or access to a 12th gen chip for a 13100f to work on some 600 series boards which are cheaper right then 700 series.

And the motherboard comes and gives you a backshot

Ryzen 5600: i am 2 times better than these noobs for 100$ ! Where am i?!

[HimikoToga]

I have the 12100f cpu and it's so good combined with my Zotac 3050 very nice budget build for me all parts available. But my case was a little on the expensive side, like $426cad but that's not a problem I was gonna make a 4080 build not to long ago with crazy parts, people laugh saying I could have gotten a 3070 if it hadn't been for the expensive case. But like I said I went cheap because for the future I'll show them what I was gonna make lol

Update August Germany price:
i3 12100F is currently at 75€

[petzouqi]

Update: Price difference grew wider, 13100f costs $115 and the 12100f costs $95

[paneTLG]

i would pick a Ryzen 5 5500, cheaper platform (considering mobo and ram) and better productivity performance

[riruri]

In my country, i get i5 12600k for 80$ 🤯

[thomaslayman]

i would only get a 13100f over a 12100f if it's 5% more expensive, not 10%. It's only 5% faster and also you need a motherboard with bios flashback or that supports it which is a headache.

[calebcatsminecraft]

I got my i3 12100f a few weeks ago from newegg new for 65 dollars

[turp]

Ryzen 5500 for tight budget and still had 6 cores, though ryzen 5600 for more cache and still have a bit more wiggle room in your budget

[raccoonmanthing]

I really wanna upgrade but i would have to buy a new cpu, mobo, and ddr5 ram

[oliverbrochu]

Can you please make a vid on the best white, Ryzen and nvidia build for under 1300$
You can use some used parts
