AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
The Ryzen 5 3600X is a powerful 6-core processor with a great mix of gaming and productivity performance. However its $249 list price places it $50 above the non-X variant of the R5 3600, which at $199 seems like the better buy. However, partly because nothing can ever be easy, the Ryzen 5 3600X is suddenly selling for $10 less on Amazon, and at $239 it starts to look a lot better compared to the vanilla 3600.
