If there's a time to buy PC hardware it would be right now before the new tariffs come into play, and Black Friday sales are getting out of control in a really good way with AMD processors on the cheap.
AMD's Ryzen 5 2600X is normally $229 and thanks to Black Friday sales that are nearly here, the 6C/12T unlocked CPU can be had for just $190 on Amazon. Considering the Ryzen 5 2600X includes the Wraith Spire cooler and overclocks 4.2GHz, you're getting a damn bargain for such a thread-heavy CPU that includes a cooler.
