It's cheaper at B&H using their store card. $398, same as Newegg's regular retail, but you get sales taxes credited back instantly plus free shipping, so unless you are charged 2% or less in sales tax, Newegg is higher.

Or if you have a microcenter nearby its only 349.99 right now.

Or better yet wait until Adder Lake and see how the price structure is affected.

Intel's Adder Lake is releasing soon, October if Noctua's hint is right, and AMD's Zen 4 isn't expected to release until 2H2022. That's a long time for Intel to have this tick and produce a revised version before Zen 4. There's a lot of question around Adder Lake's actual performance, but if it can deliver 20% IPC on its performance cores like Intel says, that would put it likely over 10% faster than the Ryzen 5000 series per core. Yes it's going to be power hungry and hot under load, BUT it's going to support PCIe 5.0 and possibly have better efficiency under light load due to the little.BIG type of architecture, with Windows 11 being a wildcard since it will supposedly feature specific tuning to take advantage of it.

Knowing Intel they're not going to price it under AMD, but there's enough unknowns right now for me to say don't buy any CPU until darn near Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

The updated Zen 3 with more cache is also tantalizing to wait for, however, if you are going to wait for something to come out there will always be something just around the corner to wait longer for...

True, but the next generation will require DDR5 which would make for a much more expensive upgrade path than existing DDR4 users, or even DDR3 users as 16GB of quality DDR4 is about $100 these days.

Also since it's been shown that the GPU will be the performance limiting factor for some time to come, unless you are a prosumer or professional user where time for job completion is critical, Zen 4, DDR5, and PCIe 5 will not be of benefit over Zen 3, DDR4, and PCIe 4.
