5900X looks pretty enticing.

I wonder if this is the new pricing. Looking at prices across the web, 5800X is <$340 (4 stores), 5900X <$385 (3), and 5950X <$550 (3) - not counting MC. Now if we could only get GPUs at MSRP.

Ugh. I paid $890 to get my 5900X last April... and that was scaling back plans to get the 5950X I originally wanted to use in my main system; but at least I have enjoyed the use of it for the past year.

Of course, this time next year, we'll all be wondering how we paid so much for Nvidia 3000 series and AMD 6000 series cards when etherium mining cards flood the market and next gen performance makes 3090s seem like weak sauce.
