Amazon's got a brilliant deal on the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, which knocks 24% off the asking price, making it great if you're looking to give your PC a decent performance upgrade without spending a huge amount of money.
This deal (which you can see below) gets you this impressive processor with six cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.4GHz and a boost clock of 3.9GHz for £132.98, which is the cheapest price yet for AMD's second generation Ryzen processor.
This new low price for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 makes it an ideal choice for building a gaming PC on a budget. The six cores and 12 threads also mean you can multitask with ease – for example streaming to Twitch while you play.
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a great mid-range processor, like the slightly faster AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, which is our pick for the best mid-range CPU in the world right now.
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is almost identical to the 2600X, but it has slightly lower clock speeds out of the box, and doesn't come with quite as good a cooler. If you're not too fussed on overclocking your CPU to eke out more performance, then we'd recommend going for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 – especially at this price.
We're not sure how long this deal will last, but if you're looking for a real bargain on a great CPU, we wouldn't hang about.
