Prices might be going up soon, so take advantage of cheap silicon while it's hot. We've got the best early Black Friday prices on processors from both Intel and AMD. Intel Core i9-13900K Gaming Desktop Processor for $399.99 (list price $629.99) Intel Core i5 13600K Desktop Processor for $210.00 (list price $329.00)

It's difficult to find proper deals for processors, especially those attempting to build true-blue budget PCs. Even more difficult when said processors are high-end, as a single one can completely blow out your budget for the entire build.

Black Friday is fast approaching. Lots of early deals have already dropped, and shoppers are gearing up for a tsunami of sales when the big event officially kicks off. But this year, I won't be one of them.
