Hey there! The deal looks solid at around 425USD for those parts. Since you're weighing it carefully, you might want to grab it soon if the market stays stable.

In the US this offer isn't great. You can purchase an i5 12400F with 32GB RAM for a similar cost, plus a few extra fees. The i3 12100F would perform better and costs about $80 less.

I hadn’t realized that before, thought the 1600 offered solid performance, and I’m glad about it. I was checking it out for a project with my brother, but if that’s true, I’ll definitely consider the i5. Thanks!

Yeah, that config is worth about half of what the guy is asking for it, the 1600 goes for ~$100 on eBay, the motherboard for about $50 and RAM about $75. If you got it for a total of $150-200, then maybe consider it, but if you want to spend $400-450 it's hard to do much better than that i5. (also didn't realize the memory kit I recommended was 3200 CL22, go for a kit of 3200 CL16 for $15 more, it is worth it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HRcr6r )

Super helpful guy, could you possibly grab the RAM for me? I’m thinking around 85 and it’d be a big help. Right now I’ve got 16GB and I’m diving into 3D modeling—definitely showing up in my 90% Corsair setup, haha. Also, I just got a 16GB 3600 CL16 TridentZ.

The 1700 offers improved value compared to the 1600, though it comes at a higher cost. Humor note: LOL Edited March 12, 2022 by An0maly_76

Don't worry about the current status. Even my nephew's 1600AF is near the bottom among us, and he’s considering an upgrade. We’re staying calm since we bought it at launch for £80. There’s no assurance the B450 board will receive the BIOS update for Ryzen 5000 chips. I’m sure my nephew’s B450 Tomahawk hasn’t gotten it yet—let me know if you want to confirm.
