It comes and goes. It was getting higher up when I was looking for a 3300x... couldn't find that, 3600 was up to $200+ and the 3600x wasn't in stock or was $250... ended up just getting a 3700x for $270. The next week 3600's were back down and 3600x's back in stock, lol. Oh well, still love the 3700x, enough that I bought a second 2 weeks later @ $260 + free AC: Valhalla . I'll see what comes out with zen3, I'm not against upgrading again.I looked today and the Ryzen 5 3600 is petty died on stock now .. but it's like they drove the price up to make see the XT
