I was looking through AM4 processor choices at Micro Center online today, and prices start out at $160.
A year ago, there were pretty decent choices on offer for $80, (Ryzen 1600) and there were even a couple of budget choices under that price.
Have things really changed this much in a year? I was thinking of having my son build my parents a budget build, since they are still using a
FM2 based (A4-7300) system from 2014, but not if $160 is the lowest price on offer these days.
