I paid $220 for mine, two years ago, and it was even a great value then. Now it directly competes with the i3-8100 on price, and should blow it away on performance.
Make sure that you get an overclocking board, these CPUs love overclocking, even on the stock heatsink.
PS. Newegg on ebay, today only, if yu use their mobile app and a coupon, you can get the 1700X for around the same price. (Doesn't come with a cooler, I don't think.)
