Micro Center currently has the Ryzen 5 5500 AM4 processor for $94.99, which I believe is the lowest that I've seen this processor sold for anywhere new.
Buying this processor also gives you $20 off of a motherboard. They often have open box motherboards marked down to about $50, and you can combine the $20 off with this discounted price, giving you a motherboard for around $30. Open box motherboards still come with the manufacturer's warranty. (in store only) Seems like this could be the basis of a nice budget build.

Sounds like a solid deal to me. Do you get the free game, too, at MC? I think Newegg is giving away a free game, with the CPU @ $99.

Then again, maybe a $30 mobo is worth doing without a game, for the time being. :)
