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 know, I even have prime so should be easy and painless. I may do it if the price goes down, I see the 5800x3d at $526 which is still above my budget.
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.
Me waiting for the 5800x3d to drop from $430 CAD this week 😭
I can’t find any deals here in Aus, still sells for $549 AUD :( :(
Bought mine last month from Amazon for $461
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

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.
amazon ships from america for free 520 takes like 2 weeks, but probs better to pay an extra 20 bucks to get now

lowest i seen in aus was 500 on amazon day
It’s been lower, 460, 470 but I wasn’t ready to buy.
I got mine a while back for $180 using gift cards and coupons.
How?
Had a gift card I couldn’t use. Amazon gave me extra money if I bought gift cards online.
So I bought a few gift cards up to the amount and it gave me a bunch of money, and boom. $180 5800x3d.
Edit: and it was on sale for $280
After tax or?
Before
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.
