It just means that you really need to be sure you\u2019re making a good choice when choosing new parts, and it also makes any and all deals a lot more worthwhile, assuming it\u2019s something you need to get. If you\u2019ve been hoping to get an upgrade to your CPU without breaking the bank, then today could be the chance to do just that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/8133\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT Processor has a fair amount of speed despite being a little lower on the price side of things, and with the price being even lower right now thanks to a 18% discount<\/a>. While it\u2019d normally cost you $349, you can currently get it for $285 instead, which is a great if you\u2019ve been waiting for a good time to get a new CPU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/8133\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Faster, Stronger, Better<\/p>\n<p>While not the most impressive model on the market, the Ryzen 9 5900XT still has an impressive amount of power and speed, and it makes for a good upgrade if you\u2019ve been using the same CPU for a while now. It\u2019s easy to end up upgrading your CPU last as well. It\u2019s essential, sure, but it\u2019s far from the most interesting thing to invest money in. Most people would rather spend a bit of money on a new GPU, or if you\u2019ve lucked out, some RAM. However, given that it\u2019s the core of any PC, it\u2019s always worth investing in properly.<\/p>\n<p>This CPU has 16 cores, 32-threads, and it\u2019s unlocked in case you feel like dabbling with overclocking. Make sure you know what you\u2019re doing before getting into that, but it\u2019s nice to have the option available whether you\u2019re looking for it or just hoping to get into it later on. It has DDR4-3200 support too, so it\u2019s good if you\u2019re looking at last-gen RAM to grab, given that it\u2019s a fair bit cheaper than DDR5 RAM at the moment, and that\u2019s likely to be the case for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Any chance to grab yourself some money off on any PC parts right now is a good one, which means that you will want to look into picking this up if you\u2019re hoping to sort out your PC. The $285 price tag here isn\u2019t likely to stick around for very long, so we do recommend being as fast as possible if you want to ensure you can save some money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/8133\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PC parts have been steadily going up for a long time now, and frankly, it\u2019s making putting together&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":464933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-464932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
