Currently my CPU is going for $75, the Ryzen 7 3700x is going for around $175 CAD, while the 5700x is $250CAD, and the 5900x is $350 CAD.
For the price increase especially for an older platform which will be GPU limited I am having a hard time justifying a $100 price increase from ryzen 7 to 9. From 3000 to 5000 it’s easier to justify if I had the extra cash. But for a budget the 3700x is a good upgrade.
