Over the last few years, AMD CPUs have quickly made an impressive push in the market, providing better and faster performance than their Intel counterparts in many instances. Since building a new PC or upgrading your current one can be quite expensive, it's important to save every dollar you can by picking up components on sale throughout the year.

If you need a graphics card to go along with your new CPU, a few Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs are also on sale, including a few OC Edition (meaning overclocked) RTX 5000 series GPUs from Asus. The more powerful option is the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition, which features 12GB GDDR7 VRAM and is on sale for $685 (was $740).

With this AMD processor, we’re looking at six cores and 12 threads. It’s capable of speeds of 4.7GHz. It’s unlocked so you can choose to overclock it for even faster performance while playing games—up to 5.3GHz.
