Seems to be a price drop for the Ryzen 7600. PB Tech lists it as they would a normal, not sale price, but it's a massive drop from what it's normally listed and what other retailers have it for ($429).
Also includes a copy of Starfield through the AMD Promo.

Some other deals from them:
Intel 13600kf has a slight price drop too.
Samsung Galaxy Watch4 (Bluetooth) 40mm - Aluminium Black $188

Are the motherboards still significantly more expensive for AM5 compared to AM4?
EDIT: Apparently they have come down in price too. Cheapest motherboard I could find was MSI PRO A620M-E on Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/MSI-PRO-A620M-ProSeries-Motherboar… works out around NZD $169

this ones 150 nzd. I had a look around the usual places and I think this is the cheapest yet. Do not pair anything other than this CPU as it limits power to 90W reportedly - bios updates may fix this though.
I'm in the same boat of looking at budget board options but decided against that one as it needs a downwards facing cooler for vrm temps to be under control. I guess you could pick up the wraith prism on TM for $40. (the stealth is essentially useless)
Think it's the same motherboard. Interesting that it's cheaper on amazon.com than .com.au
You would want to put a heatsink on those MOSFETs
Woah that's cheap, nice find.
