The Intel Core i9-9900K came out more than two years ago at this point, dropping all the way back in October 2018. What if we told you that this flagship-class processor was at a budget CPU price point with a sweet Black Friday deal?
For Black Friday, the Intel Core i9-9900K is seeing price cuts all around the internet, with Micro Center having the best deal. If you’re lucky enough to have a Micro Center in your area, you can get the Intel Core i9-9900K for just $299 with this Black Friday PC component deal.
To put that in perspective, that’s only around $30 more expensive than the Intel Core i5-10600K. $30 for two extra cores and four extra threads? We’d say that’s totally worth it.
Out of the box, the Intel Core i9-9900K can boost up to 5GHz on up to two cores, but in the years since its release, it’s made a name for itself as being an easy-to-overclock processor, so you can probably push it pretty far. Just make sure you pick yourself up an efficient cooler.
And, if you’re not near a Micro Center, don’t worry. Right now Amazon and Newegg both have the Core i9-9900K on sale for $319 for Black Friday. It’s an extra $20, but even at that price, the Intel Core i9-9900K is genuinely a good value.
