Micro Center’s July 2026 deals highlight five in-store offers: Asus ROG Strix G16 G615LR-MS97 laptop for $2,200 (down from $2,900); PowerColor RX 9070 GRE Reaper GPU at $480; Asus ROG Strix XG32UCDS 4K monitor for $600; Dell 16 DC16251 16-inch laptop for $900; and refurbished Asus B650E-E ATX motherboard for $90. Note the deals are in-store only, with membership perks and back-to-school promos mentioned in the promotions.
Micro Center is selling a Ryzen 7 9850X3D + ASUS X870-P Prime WiFi + Crucial 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM bundle for $699, a steep savings compared with buying the parts separately (roughly $1,100+). The deal makes it easier to assemble a high-end gaming PC, and Micro Center also lists other bundles starting as low as $349 and premium Ryzen 9 bundles at $1,049–$1,199.
Despite being the most powerful GPU on the market, the resale value of Nvidia's RTX 4090 has plummeted, with Micro Center's trade-in program valuing an MSI RTX 4090 at just $700, a mere 36% of its total cost. This is significantly lower than what other retailers are offering, such as Newegg's willingness to pay up to $1,500 for a used RTX 4090. The drop in value is attributed to the AI craze and import ban, causing prices to skyrocket and making it a cautionary tale for those looking to sell their old GPUs.
AMD has announced the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, a six-core processor with 3D V-Cache technology, exclusively available through Micro Center for $229. The processor offers a 96MB L3 cache, making it a potential upgrade for AM4 motherboard users seeking improved gaming performance. However, stock will be limited, and sales will end once Micro Center runs out of supplies. The 5600X3D will be released on July 7th.
AMD is set to release a limited edition Ryzen 5 5600X3D chip, featuring a V-cache equipped, hex-core Ryzen 5 5600X processor with 96MB of L3 cache. The chip will be a Micro Center exclusive and will be available for $230. It is a salvage part made from defective Zen 3 CCDs and will be released late into the AM4 platform's lifecycle. The launch is expected to be low volume, with Micro Center being the only retailer to sell the chip.
AMD has announced the limited-run Ryzen 5600X3D CPU, featuring the company's 3D V-Cache chip stacking technology, as an upgrade option for older AMD PCs using socket AM4. Priced at $229, the chip will be exclusively available through Micro Center while supplies last. The Ryzen 5600X3D offers a higher power consumption and lower clock speeds compared to its non-X3D counterparts, but the extra cache makes it ideal for gaming. Owners of old-socket AM4 systems should update their BIOS before installing the new chip, and it could be a cost-effective alternative to Intel's Core i5 processors for high-end gaming PCs. The Ryzen 5600X3D will be available for sale on July 7.
AMD will exclusively sell the Ryzen 5 5600X3D gaming processor through Micro Center, starting on July 7. Priced at $229.99, the chip features 6 cores and 12 threads, lower than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, but still offers 96MB of L3 cache and impressive clock speeds. This move is good news for owners of AM4 motherboards, as AMD continues to support the platform. However, Micro Center's limited locations and lack of online sales may limit availability for customers outside of the 17 states where the retailer operates.
