Upgrade your PC and get a free game to boot.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced 8-core processor for your new gaming PC, the best CPU for the job is AMD's Ryzen 7 2700. That was true yesterday when it sold for $259.99 (street price), and it's an even better value proposition today with a $30 price drop.

Both Amazon and Newegg have the Ryzen 7 2700 marked down to $229.99 today. As an added bonus, it qualifies for AMD's Equipped to Win promotion when purchased from either vendor, which scores you a coupon code to download Tom Clancy's The Division 2 when it comes out next month.
