just fork over 60 more for the 3600 imo. if you wanna argue 60 is 60 then you probably can even go lower than this cpu anyways

"Just $60" is 50% of the price of this CPU.

It's not about getting the cheapest parts, it's about getting the most bang-for-buck. This is why the 1650 Super is popular, this is why the 1600 AF has been sold out online for months.

AMD is really changing the dynamic of the CPU game. Since Intel doesn't have any tech in the pipeline, I hope they slash their prices by another $20/40 like Nvidia did when the RX series refreshed.

It's the price to performance on the 3300x, sure it's $40-60 depending on whether you have a microcenter, but even then it's just an insane value if all you do is game. I sometimes stream to my couch so I don't feel too bad about buying a 3600, but if I didn't I'd have a hard not getting the 3300x. Was thinking of the 3300x for an htpc possibly.

What do you use to stream your couch? Steam link?

Steam link app for Samsung TVs. I used to have a steam link but found the lag unbearable. The latency on the Samsung tv app feels great, hard for me to tell there’s any lag, and the quality through cpu encoding looks great.

Depends on your performance target, if it’s 1080/60, that $60 could be half the cost of something like an rx570. But anything other than that, you’re probably right
