The 5600X is not MSRP. So paying 400 dollars for a 5600X 6 cores 12 threads CPU that bring the total to 650 dollars and that's with 0 SSD which the OP wants in the budget.

The 10700KF is a better deal. 2 more cores for 100 less.

In 4-5 years that 8 cores will be better than a 6 cores.

For now a 6 cores is more than enough BUT it's a no brainer. 300 dollars 8 cores vs 400 dollars 6 cores.

Ahhhhhhh of course I had to miss that. Sorry I totally missed that OP was in Poland.
I’m not even sure why it is so expensive in NA, i bought my 5800X from Newegg and got it imported to the UK and that was £380 i believe. Standard 5600X price in UK - when in better stocks is around £300.

No, a 5600x can be found at msrp on several different major retailors

Major retailers like? Here we have best buy. They don't have anything. Might as well say Best Buy doesn't exist.

Amazon, Newegg, CanadaComputers. None of them have them in stock.

Obviously wait for restock but since they go out inside a minute it's still very hard to get one.
You are right, if you are in Canada. But if you are in US, 5600x and 5800x are in stock.

They just started being in stock in the US. It's like you weren't here for the past 5 months. Seriously...where were you? Did you miss the whole "Can't even buy a CPU or GPU" anywhere for the past year?

There is no 5600X to buy anywhere online. Maybe at Microcenter but you have to go in store. There are some 5800X on Amazon and newegg. It wasn't like that a month ago.

New stock of 5600X coming April 11th.

A month ago was when I was doing pcpartpicker around march, and the 5600x and the 5800x were at newegg.
