Likewise, they don't list it in their Amazon entries either:
Also same price on Amazon
The eligible resellers are:
Below the historic low on amazon. Damn, now this is a deal. Nice find!
Still satisfied with my $275 R5-1600 but at these prices, would probably have bought the r7 instead.
1700 -$25 Below historic low
1700x - Equal to historic low
1800 - $75 Below historic low
Same on Amazon with same day for major regions and Prime.
R7 1700 w/ Wraith Cooler..
I flaired this as Sale since it looks like so far that Amazon is the only major retailer to have lowered the prices..
Wait, you bought an i3-8100 7 days ago for $130?! Or last year? Not that it'd be any better.
With all due respect dude, you got what you deserve for not properly researching. For the same price or a tiny bit more this year you could've gotten:
Ryzen 5 2600X = £119
Ryzen 7 1700 = £126 (used)
Probably loads of used 4th/5th gen i7's that'd blow the 8100 out of the water for the same price.
That's amazon.com, not .ca - USD I believe. $425 CDN:

This is not worth the price premium over the Ryzen 7 1700 ($269.99) imo. With the 1700, you get the Wraith Spire which currently has bids up to $57 on eBay. So it's basically $200 less and the only major difference is clock speed out of the box. I would save my $200, and get a nice aftermarket cooler to overclock the 1700 to 1800X levels.
Might wanna decrease the price there buddy, the Ryzen 1700's $259 at the moment and the Crosshair's $179 (w/ rebate). Both go on sale for less regularly.
Edit: $179 Crosshair is non-wifi, wifi edition is actually $245 at the moment

There's also three for sale in the Amazon warehouse for only £268.46, which is a fantastic price. Find them here.
Ryzen 7 1700 on sale $290 (base price $330)
Ryzen 7 1700x on sale $325 (base price $400)
Intel 7700k on sale $309 (base price $350)
30% is huge misinformation, these are way more similarly priced than people like to admit. 30% would put the Intel at over 400 dollars on sale. The AMD bias is ridiculous as of late.

Pour des builds "budget" je conseille de prendre les ryzen de la génération d'avant :
exemple : ryzen 7 1700 à 170€ pour un 8 coeur/16threads
La prochaine génération de console arrive bientôt avec d'ici un an ou 2 des jeux qui seront plus optimisés pour plus de coeurs (d'après les specs annoncées donc les perfs des processeurs ryzen vont sans doute s'améliorer dans les jeux.

Hmm, Part out the computer, you could still get at least $200 for it if you wanted to go that route.
Definitely check out the AMD Ryzen CPU's, absolute monsters for the money. I'm using the (pretty much linked one) at 3.9GHz overclock, this thing handles 4k easily. A GTX 1060/1070 would be a good choice of videocard too. 16GB of RAM is a minimum when working with 4k. Personally, I have 32GB, which works fine for average sized projects.

Great posts, kiwiandapple!
I've got some responses below:
Spain (all prices include 21% VAT)
Part | Amazon | PCComponentes
---|---|----
1800X | 446€ | 529€
1700X | 363€ | 419€
1700 | 316€ | 316€

1600 | 218€ | 225€
1500X | 203€ | 209€
1400 | 170€ | 179€
I only welected the one sold directly by amazon or managed by them, if you're willing to go with Amazon marketplace there's a 1800X for 432€ and a 1600X for 236€.
They seem to be pretty close to most of the european prices.
My question regarding the X version is what to pick when I already have a Corsair 280mm AIO.
You can get the 1700x for 170 on amazon.
https://smile.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6
For CPU (depending on how multithreaded your work is): Something like a i5 7600K with Z270 if you only need 4 cores or an i7 7700K if single core performance is important for you
If more cores/threads then either one of these Ryzen CPUs: 1700/1700X/1800X. They are all 8 core/16 thread CPUs and the 1700 is the same price as the 7700K.
Amazon Ryzen 1700
The X99 line has become redundant (i7 6800K/6850K/6900K) in my opinion.
For RAM, go with either 16/32GB RAM at 3000/3200 MHz
Definitely an SSD for OS and some programs
Ah, got it!
Amazon says:
> AMD Wraith Spire cooler, featuring color-configurable LED illumination for customized style
So, it's indeed RGB stock cooler, nice!
good way to save money if you won't be overclocking and want the best stock chip, anyone who isn't aware though, the 1700 is the same chip/silicon as the 1800x , if you get lucky on the silicon you could overclock a 1700 to the same 4.0 Ghz that the others can hit and save money. ( some chips have gone higher, but most cant go beyond 4.0 )
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06WP5YCX6/?tag=pcp0f-20
$414 dollars plus taxes
You can easily google a guide to overclock ryzen or get help in reddit
When you order using amazon.com, once you pay the customs upfront which shows on amazon page, you do not have any further liability, even if amazon has to pay them more they wont ask you. Obviously if amazon itself is adding 40% then that's another thing. Similar is the case with Newegg global store and I have heard duties there are generally lower.
​
Or on amazon.in items which are under global store like below:

If its price drops in US, you may see a similar drop here.
Thank you for your help. I think he is in a better place. He was 33. It was really tragic and unexpected.
So I've gotten rid of the CPU cooler and switched to the Ryzen 1700. I found one on amazon that comes with a CPU cooler: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6 Trying to find a good priced 1070. Thanks again.
Just curious about Linux, why do you use that system?

Good find! I'm still looking for the 1700.

Not sure where you are getting your information from, but that is the whole point of the X series SKUs. They are binned higher and feature XFR for auto-overclocking. The non-X SKUs are still unlocked multipliers but do NOT have the Extended Frequency Range auto-overclocking feature that the X SKUs DO.
Here's a few sources, including a couple that were in attendance at today's event.
https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/luke-hill/kitguru-amd-event-ryzen-7-cpus-set-to-hit-intel-pricing-hard/
"That ‘X’ prefix denotes support for eXtended Frequency Range (XFR) which allows a number of the CPU’s cores to operate at up to 1 multiplier bin higher if thermal and power threshold budgets are not saturated"
"Ryzen 7 1700 – 8 cores, 16 threads, 3.0GHz base speed, 3.7GHz boost speed, no XFR support, 65W TDP, $329 USD, £319.99 OCUK price."
Techreport, who was also in attendance at the event today and went home with review samples lists these specs as part of what was announced at the event.
https://techreport.com/news/31471/amd-eight-core-16-thread-chips-lead-the-ryzen-charge
Model | Cores | Threads | Base Clock | Boost Clock | XFR | TDP | Price
------|---|----|----|----|----|----|----
Ryzen 1800X | 8 | 16 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | Yes | 95W | $499
Ryzen 1700X | 8 | 16 | 3.4GHz | 3.8GHz | Yes | 95W | $399
Ryzen 1700 | 8 | 16 | 3.0GHz | 3.7GHz | No | 65W | $329
"The X in the product name (in this and other models) denotes the presence of the XFR technology (eXtended Frequency Range), allowing you to reach even higher frequencies in the presence of adequate cooling. XFR is just one of the technologies SenseMI" -> translated from: https://www.tomshw.it/ryzen-7-1800x-1700x-e-1700-specifiche-e-prestazioni-83576 in regards to information released by AMD at today's event.
All of this is from those who attended and official AMD specs released today. There is no question about it, that is literally what the "X" in the SKU denotes. XFR. This is all just a matter of hours old information, not "last week". You mention you take what people who attended have to say as priority, which of course makes sense. Only problem is that it is the exact opposite of what you're saying.
Also, the pre-order listings on sites like Amazon make this clear. For instance,
1800X: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W9JXK4G, clearly lists XFR on the product page
1700X: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3W9NGG, clearly lists XFR on the product page
1700: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6, does not list XFR on the product page
On OCUK's product pages as well, XFR is listed as a spec on only the 1800X and 1700X product pages:
1800X: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1800x-4.00ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39v-am.html
1700X: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1700x-3.80ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39w-am.html
1700: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1700-3.70ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39x-am.html
--> OCUK "'X' Version with automatic XFR overclocking"
The Amazon listing for the 1700 shows the box from a few different angles. Image 3 says "this product contains a [...] processor, [and] thermal solution". The listing says "Wraith Spire" and LED in the description.

Hmm, can I direct your attention here? I would argue that this is the best bang for buck CPU. Period.
Pretty sure the MSI B450 Pro Carbon or Asus B450 Strix has what you need, though not sure if the use of the M.2 slot will cut off one or two of the SATA ports. Both have 4 DIMM slots as well. I think £400 will happily get you the 1700, £100-120ish B450 mainboard (with what you specified), and 32GB RAM.

Bruh cheapest 1080 in the US is $470 that too on Amazon without sale, going by the ₹65 for a dollar gives about 42% markup, the model you mentioned is about $510 which is about 32% markup. Also 43k is the absolute lowest the price goes here whereas they have sales dropping the prices very low.
Also Ryzen currently is at 25%-35%markup depending on the model(lowest was 1700x at 24%).
The Titan Xp is at about 67% markup (didn't check the year so correct me if I'm wrong)
And also the cheapest 1080 is the mini one, which has clock speed a few mghz higher than fe so if I want something better like more cooling or higher clock speeds and not just the bare minimum I have to shill out 60k to 70k for the Asus ones or even the fe whereas the same card is sold around $550 at newegg which comes with forhonor or ghost recall wildlands free (both worth $60) so while that guy was wrong about the 100% markup you were also being disingenuous with that 43k figure and 18% markup .

Go to the Amazon product page for the Ryzen 1700 and you'll see a rebate link on there.
The link on the Amazon product page takes you to this PDF, which links to the AMDpromos.com website.
The same rebate form can be found on the Newegg product page.
So I mean, if it's sketchy, Amazon and Newegg are in on it.

its about the same price tbh here's some links on some parts if you went with ryzen you wouldn't need the evo 212 which would save 35 CAD also CPU is a bit cheaper then intel's so the more pricey motherboard that costs like 30 more isn't to bad anyways those are just my thoughts. https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503304149&sr=8-1&keywords=ryzen+1700 https://www.amazon.ca/ASRock-X370-TAICHI-CrossFireX-Motherboard/dp/B06WXX9FDG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503304098&sr=8-1&keywords=asrock+taichi+x370
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
Mobo: MSI B350 Tomahawk
RAM: Ballistix Elite 8GB Kit
Maybe not the best option, but my setup is pretty similar and I love it right now.
Not that much more expensive on amazon.de
Thanks so much for your help! I have a few questions.
I already had my eyes on an AMD RYZEN 7 1700, but having trouble finding a vendor. I live in the Netherlands, so I'd rather buy it from a dutch shop, but I'm not sure about the risks of buying PC parts from US Amazon.I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6And it's much cheaper and includes a cooler. Do you know what causes this price difference?EDIT: Dumb comment. I probably won't buy stuff from outside Europe. And I just noticed you recommended 1700x instead of 1700.
I took your advice and tweaked some parts; I'd like to know your opinion:
I decided I wanted to lower my budget a little bit, but still have some quality.
All these parts are available in European shops and are 677,- EUR in total. What do you think?
Hey here is the build of my upgraded PC. I have move from the Dell XPS 15 Laptop to a custom built PC. Please check out the video and let me know what you think. I have given the list of parts I used for the build down bellow. I have also provided links to where I bought the items.
Thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe for more videos.

The 1700 is only $270 right now on amazon. I have a 1600, but would go for the 1700 if I was building right now.
edit: didn't see you were from Australia
If you don't need SLI you could probably get by with a cheaper board.
Right now the 1700 is only $40 more expensive than the 1600x... The 1700s also seem to overclock a little better than the 1600s.

You can totally save £70 by going with the r7 1700. Here. And you get a cooler too.
Bit late on this, but want another pickle? :P

The Ryzen 7 1700 on amazon currently is $160 and that is less than the ryzen 5 2600x

On Amazon at the moment the ryzen 7 1700 is available for 5$ more. Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PLh4Cb7Z7D929 . Probably a little overkill but will last for future more heavy games.
without ref link
avialable on Mindfactory for 163,90€ but shipping is only free after midnight
If you can just push for 50 quid more and you can get the a bundle new for 400 quid. Also the 1700 is the better choice to go for.

For the price of a 7600k and a z series motherboard he could get a b350 and a 1700 which comes with an amazing cooler and get more peformance.

Just gotta plug it into the rgb header on the motherboard. So make sure the mobo has an RGB header, whichever one you get. Unless you just want it to be red

8600 has a little better performance but also has a higher price. You just gotta figure out if you want to spend the extra money. If budget isn't a big comprimise look at something like ryzen 7 (https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6)

Given the fact that you use your PC for many purposes, AMD Ryzen's multitasking capacbilities might come in handy.
This is especially true since it seems from your post that you'll be running Plex in the background while doing something else. Being able to have a few cores dedicated to it while not affecting your workload would surely be beneficial.
If you're willing to wait one week, Ryzen 2 should be out by then. Otherwise, I'd look into the R7 1700. FYI, its price went down to 300$ the other day.
If you want to go intel, I'd go 8700K. Given your workloads, you'll benefit from having more cores/threads.
Not knowing exactly where are you from I'm just gonna use amazon.com and then you can just seach on your local store.
Here's the 1700
Ryzen 7 1700 for $204 decent? https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=sr_1_1?m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&s=warehouse-deals&ie=UTF8&qid=1523409769&sr=8-1&keywords=ryzen+7
Alright, I read that 24gb was like, minimum for what I wanted to stream and thought I might as well get a bit extra, but I'll look into it some more, thanks!
Edit: So something like this for the RAM and then this for the CPU?
Motherboard appears to be a B350M BAZOOKA
Hi all, I just ordered my Steam Link and am preparing to finally play Witcher 3 on my new tv. Just thought I'd check here how my specs look (pretty sure it's time for a CPU upgrade).
Here's a screenshot of my original specs, fear not, I managed to nab one of these badboys for £330 a few months back.
The i5 is pretty solid and has served me well but I doubt it'll be able to tank this unfortunately, what would you guys recommend for a necessary upgrade?
I've done a bit of research and was thinking about buying one of these:
Ryzen 7, £230
i7-7700K, £280
Not sure whether this is overkill, I'm not super good at this stuff, thanks in advance!
Thank you very much for the info! I've only had intel CPUs myself, and I know very little about which AMD ones are good/bad, new/old. Is this the one you have? Also, do AMD motherboards have different sockets like Intel ones do, or will any AMD fit into an AMD board?
I guess we both just thought there was some other contributing issue because the game seemed to perform fine for a bit before just freezing on one frame, over and over
