I was going to do something scummy, and take advantage of Amazon's return policy and buy a 3700x and return it when my 5600x comes in.... The 3700x was $409 with Prime, but it is now OOS, and the partner retailers want $490 for it...
I currently have a r5 2600, but my son is patiently waiting for it for his 1st build... He's bought the mbb, sdd, case, ram from CC on black friday. He is getting a handme down used 800w PSU, a 1070ti and the CPU from me.
I may see if he wants to buy a r5 1500 from kijiji, there's one listed near me asking $100, and then I can help sell it when he gets my r5 2600.
I checked yesterday, and I am 12th in line for a r5 5600x at my local CC
