If you're looking to build a gaming PC with AMD's latest generation of Ryzen processors, now is the perfect time. Several models have been on sale over the past few weeks, the most recent of which is the Ryzen 9 3900X, AMD's best gaming CPU.

On Amazon, the price has dropped to $419.99. This is $79.01 below list price, and even though it hasn't been on sale at full cost for several months, this discount is still about $50 off the regular sale price.

The 3900X is based on AMD's 7nm Zen 2 CPU architecture, with 12 cores and 24 threads, a base clock of 3.8GHz, a maximum boost clock of 4.6GHz, and 64MB of L3 cache.

In other words, it is a fast chip that is ideal for both gaming and multi-threaded workloads. It also comes with a Wraith Prism air-cooled cooler. This cooler performs well at stock settings and should be able to handle mild overclocking.

Combine this chip with an X570 motherboard and you will be on the cutting edge with AMD's latest architecture and PCI Express 4.0 support.
