Over the last few years, AMD CPUs have quickly made an impressive push in the market, providing better and faster performance than their Intel counterparts in many instances. Since building a new PC or upgrading your current one can be quite expensive, it's important to save every dollar you can by picking up components on sale throughout the year.

This Prime Day, save up to 48% on AMD Ryzen CPUs and upgrade your build with powerful processors. Building a new PC from scratch can be super fun, especially if you score some sweet deals on the individual components. Luckily, AMD Ryzen CPUs are massively discounted this Prime Day, so now’s the perfect time to buy.

Processors are usually one of the most expensive line items when purchasing or upgrading a PC so it is worth waiting for major sale events such as Prime Day or Black Friday in an effort to secure the best prices.

If you need a graphics card to go along with your new CPU, a few Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs are also on sale, including a few OC Edition (meaning overclocked) RTX 5000 series GPUs from Asus. The more powerful option is the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition, which features 12GB GDDR7 VRAM and is on sale for $685 (was $740).
