Yeah, I didn't realize you get another $100 off. I think I'll pass. There's a lot of negative reviews of that monitor's quality control and it being fragile.

Well monitor sales for BF are pretty phenomenal this year. Newegg's got the G9 49" Ultra-wide on sale for $799 for the 120Hz and $899 for the 240Hz model. https://www.newegg.com/49-crg9-dual-qhd-curved-qled-gaming-monitor-lc49rg90ssnxza/p/N82E16824022762 I was originally going to go with a 3...

Why? The whole bottom of the case under the GPU is perforated for airflow.

So this can be used if the MB doesn't have an RGB header?

Anyone using the Zalman P30? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CK41DYXL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ADYUHYFQRZHO0&psc=1

I may return the HDV board and go with the Pro RS board. I didn't realize that the HDV board doesn't have an RGB controller. I'd like RGB for my son. He doesn't need WiFi since our house has LAN jacks in just about every room, but it may be nice to have later on. The Pro RS is $15 more on...

Wound up grabbing the 7600 for $199 and ASrock B650M-HDV/M.2 for $119 at Micro Center tonight. I stayed with the 6750 XT I listed above. I didn't want to go much over my budget. Threw in a SAMSUNG E 1TB 980PRO for $75 and a MSI MAG A750GL for $75. He'll just need a case and some RAM, but...

My intent was to build a budget gaming rig with my 13 year old son. I am about to pick up a few items I reserved from Micro Center: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT Challenger Pro Overclocked Triple Fan 12 GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card TOTAL: $339.99 B550M Pro4 AMD AM4 microATX Motherboard TOTAL...

I picked up one of these for my 13 year old son's birthday build this week. Going to pick it up today along with a CPU and MB. https://www.microcenter.com/product/652612/asrock-amd-radeon-rx-6750-xt-challenger-pro-overclocked-triple-fan-12-gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card I'm putting together a...

Just bought one of these from Micro Center 6 days ago for $369. Does anyone know if they Black Friday price guarantee like Newegg? I didn't see anything on their website about it.

Just took advantage of Newegg's sale at $255 and ordered the Taichi Lite tonight. I went to Micro Center today as well and picked up a 7800x3D (on sale for $369), 64gig of Trident DDR5, and an EK Nucleus CR360 AIO, so my build is coming together. I've had an O11 Dynamic, Seasonic PSU, an RTX...

Getting ready to build a 7800x3D rig. I will probably go with 64gig. At this point, another $100 is not going to break my piggy bank with the amount of coin this thing will end up costing me. Will I ever truly need 64gig? Probably not. 32 is probably the current sweet-spot.

I think I've narrowed my MB decision to an ASRock Taichi B650E. Anyone running the Lite model yet? Not a huge aesthetics guy and not going to be staring into my case obsessing over not having a full board cosmetics. Anyone running the Lite yet?

Bump.

Bump. Lots of this stuff still forsale.
