If you're lucky enough to live near a Micro Center, it's now $159.99 there.

That would personally be a rather tough decision for me.... $160 2700X (8C/16T, 4.2(?)Ghz boost clock), or $200 3600 (6C/12T, 4.2Ghz boost clock, +15% IPC uplift, 256bit AVX2), or maybe wait for the 3500X (6C/6T) (unknown price right now, but likely around $150).

Thankfully, I don't have to make that decision, I've already spent my spare money for month on a GPU.

Dang, i already have the Ryzen 2600X but this is soooo tempting!

It's a 30 minute drive to Microcenter.......hmmmm, might have to go there today.
