Having a MicroCenter near by definitely helps.

I think I'm going to pair a Ryzen 5 1600 with a Gigabyte B450 MB. @ MC About $130 bundled. Slap in the new Radeon 5700XT approx. $325.

I think there will be a socket change with the release of the next gen of AMD cpu's. I'm hoping to wait a couple years, then wait for the 3700x, 3800x, or 3900x cpu's to hit the secondary market at an extreme discount. If I could get a Ryzen 9 3900x on ebay for $200 in a couple years, that would be one beastly machine for $700 - $800.

If you are buying a mobo, you can get a 3600 for about 150 bucks at microcenter with the mobo discount. why neuter your current experience with a 1600?
