If you're on the hunt for a great CPU deal to pair with a budget gaming or productivity PC then consider this excellent deal on Intel's Core i5-13500 processor for just $209 - a return to its lowest ever price. With the i5-13500 you're getting 14 cores and integrated UHD graphics for close to 200 bucks. 

At the lowest price I've seen this monitor, Dell has their G2723H gaming monitor on sale for $149. You get a lot of features for this low price including a super fast 280Hz refresh rate, a quality IPS panel, and 27 inches of real estate. It's hard to find 1080p monitors with these specs for this low price.

A small promotional code at Newegg sees the 2TB WD Black SN850X drop to just $135. We've seen the cost of SSDs drop over and over as of late and I'm overjoyed that the bigger capacity drives are becoming more affordable - especially with the ever-growing file size of the latest big games. This is one of the best SSDs on the market with impressive read/write speeds of 7300/6600 MB/s.

    I always thought the 13500 is the best bang for buck as opposed to the 13400. More cores higher clocks, and for sweet FA on top. Essentially a 12600k with a new name.

    Read the reviews. For gaming the DDR4 option is 10-20% slower than DDR5. Might as well go the 7600/7600x route to get slightly better gaming, slightly worse applications, and less power consumption when both are DDR5.

    Yep, 13500 was my sweet spot, but that's only true for the RCP (tray price) at ~$220'ish. At launch, price was ~$285, which subsequently settled at ~$250 for a long while (cf Amazon price history below). I expect ~$210 will be the regular price going forward, in line with drops on other non-K parts.

    >For gaming the DDR4 option is 10-20% slower than DDR5.

    If you had read reviews, DDR4-vs-5 perf is a bit more complicated. In many games, DRAM speed has minimal impact.

    >Might as well go the 7600/7600x route to get slightly better gaming, slightly worse applications, and less power consumption when both are DDR5.

    For non-gaming: 13500 simply kills 7600/X on multi-core perf. Plus the added appeal of cheaper RAM & board.

    For gaming, I'd opt for 13400, not 13500 or 7600/X.

    One thing that I noticed on the SSD offer. Although Newegg handles the sale of the Western Digital 2TB SN 850X the seller ships from China, has only five ratings and an 80% result, and has the confidence inspiring name of Wafy Bear.
