Best overall

The latest from AMD in processor tech, the Ryzen 5 3600X is one of the best overall mid-tier processors you can buy today, dealing a severe blow to Intel in terms of value.

$200 at Amazon

$30 off: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

The Ryzen 5 2600X is the previous generation version of the Ryzen 5 3600X, but it's still a six-core beast that's more than capable of handling demanding games and software.

$120 at Amazon

$59 off: AMD Ryzen 7 2700

This eight-core processor is great for high-end PC builds where multi-core applications require considerable amounts of performance. It's an older-gen processor, but one that still stands tall.

$140 at Amazon

$12 off: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G

The Ryzen 3 3200G is for PC builds where space is tight or you don't require a dedicated GPU. By default, the majority of AMD's desktop processors don't come with graphics processing, but the G variants do and this is one of them, packing a quad-core CPU with Radeon Vega 8 graphics.

$87 at Amazon

$69 off: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X

Who said eight-core processors had to be expensive. This fine example from AMD packs a punch for the price with 16 threads available to handle workloads. It even comes with a fancy RGB-enabled AMD cooler.

$330 at Amazon

$20 off: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a little slower than the 3800X, but not that you'd notice unless really pushing the PC hard. With the same RGB cooler, this is another great deal if you want to save an extra $20 on an eight-core processor.

$310 at Amazon

$170 off: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

This may be a second-gen processor, but it still houses eight cores and is capable of demolishing multi-core tasks. At this price, it's difficult not to consider the upgrade.

$159 at Amazon
