Where have you been able to find them? PCPartPicker hasn't exactly shown great availability on the 3900X so far [0], Amazon is full of scalping [1] and Ebay... Well, $700+ is what I'm seeing there. This is the CPU that'll probably be powering my next build, so if you've got a source close to MSRP I'd love to hear it!

Check out the buildapcsales subreddit, that's where I consistently find the biggest discounts.

I don't care about getting it at a discount, I care about getting it at MSRP...

Good Morning Sir,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. Since I've seen that you are offering AMD 3900X at a discount, I'd like to inform you that I am not like those pleebs and would therefore like you to pay in full MSRP. Please let me know where I can send the goats.

I have the honor to be your obedient customer.

N. Pleeb

Funny enough, I had two buyers saying pretty much this. "I'll pay 49" on a £35 item. Why? Because apparently that's "what it's worth". I appreciate the thought, but it just looks insanely suspicious...

The point was that there aren't going to be any 'sales' on this for at least a few months...

B&H Photo is a reputable site, and they are advertising the 3900X at $499. Now whether they will ship anytime soon...
