Hey everyone! I recently upgraded most of my PC parts, and I'm now looking for a CPU. I found a brand new Intel i5 12600kf for $100 on Amazon, but with shipping to my country, the total comes to $170. Is that a good deal for an Intel CPU? Also, how does the price-performance ratio compare to AMD CPUs?

Sounds like a solid price to me! I grabbed my i5 12600k for about €150, and honestly, I think Intel's 12th generation was one of their best. For the price-to-performance ratio, you won’t find anything else close in that range.
It really depends on local prices. I checked around, and locally they were asking around $350, so in that case, your deal is pretty fantastic!
Oh wow, if that’s what they’re charging locally, then you definitely snagged a great deal!
You’re getting a very good deal! I got mine in the USA for about $140 a year and a half ago, so that $170 is pretty reasonable in today’s market.
The price is decent, but then again, shipping can make it feel a bit off. If you find a local option, that might save you some cash too.
I totally agree with you!
