I dont know why I keep trying, but I do. Its literally impossible to purchase a card off amazon. I got an alert on my phone, had it in my cart, hit checkout...all in under 10 seconds. The game is rigged and retailers wont fix it because they really dont care.
 
That is the Artistic series desk from Caretta. Wood is supposed to be polished hardwood. It retails in the 2K-2.5K range with accessories. Was thinking about it but will be quite awhile before i get a new desk so time to see what's out there and what may be available in the future.
(Putting in Impact windows on my house since i live in Florida and that takes priority atm (y))

I paid about $1600 (With shipping) for a barely used 3970X on Ebay when i built my system. This was still when they were about $2000+. I paid about $400 over MSRP (Shipped) for my KP 3090 so i figured it evened out. One good thing is i have a setup that doesn't have to be upgraded for a good while. (Unless something shows up that makes my current rig look like a calculator)
Still in the EVGA qeue though and absolutely no contact from them for the last 4-5 months which is why i got my current card. (Got tired of waiting)
What's funny is now that i have my computer built, i'm looking to upgrade my desk and chair.
Thinking about this desk but is VERY expensive: (Can get it with a keyboard tray and no drawers)

Looks nice. Great lines and wood grain. I like the minimalist approach to computer desks.
 
B&H had a big drop today. My discord is still popping off, but the website went down.

And none of the add to cart buttons work if you can catch it up between refreshes. Their phone system is overrun - I tried to call 2x and got a busy signals. Their Chat system won't let you chat in, it simply says it's too busy right now to accept any further requests.


Makes you think, If I ran a business the size of B&H Photo and graphics cards were just a small tiny piece of my overall business. I'd discontinue selling them immediately if they were at risk of bringing down my whole operation like this!

It was a glitch apparently. They didnt actually have any graphics cards. Just so you know...

They edited the add to cart buttons so they popped up. But there was no drop.

Reports are that it was a glitch on their site and they never actually had any cards. Phones were off the hook and they had to keep telling people it was a mistake.
 
Rejection, sorry, shuffle time. 1PM EST.

Overpriced 3070, 3080, 6700XT & 6800. PS5 bundle too.

Time to spend that Doge

For a prebuilt that's honestly not a bad deal if you can live with the case.

This in stock now. Better deal IMO.

Rocket Lake 11700F and Asus Dual RTX 3070 $1599
Also has this mobo, which is pretty nice: https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b560-g-gaming-wifi-model/

The RAM is Hynix 3200mhz. CL22. no heatsinks.

you will need to replace the CPU heatsink as they only use something similar to an Intel stock cooler.

deal of the day right here

$1,999.99



Rocket Lake 11700KF and RTX 3080

These reportedly come with the Asus TUF 3080
same motherboard as above. So, no overclocking the CPU.

Looks like these come with a small tower style cooler. Might be ok for this CPU, if kept to Intel's power and turbo spec.

These come with Gold rated power supplies made by Great Wall, which is an OEM who makes PSUs for many brands. I've seen Toms Hardware say they make most/all of the SFX power supplies which aren't FSP or Silverstone

It's not Newegg, it's Asus raising prices and forcing bundles.

The PS5 is worth going in for if someone wants one of those and so is the Ventus if you don't mind paying around $750 for a 3070. Other than that unless you can actually make use of the board being bundled I'd stay away.

Asus doesn't own newegg. They could tell Asus to stuff it and take that crap elsewhere. It's a single card & mobo combo, that won't make or break anything. Haven't seen a 3060 ti in shuffle for so long and this is what they do.

Newegg can't get the cards unless they also buy up tons of shit they don't need and can't sell.

Essentially Newegg is doing bundles because they're being forced to buy the bundles themselves.

If asus's distributor came to them and said hey here's a 3060 ti but you have to buy 50x of these crappy motherboards no one wants, newegg should have told them to eat a bag of dicks. Still on newegg for making that terrible decision, because while SOMEONE will buy that bundle, they are now sitting on 49 useless motherboards they will never move. Finally it's still on newegg choosing to carry the bundle forward to the customer, I heard nothing in the video that indicated they were required to do so.

At this rate newegg might as well just switch the shuffle to all fully built computers, using all the worst components to move them that way.

The ASUS rep would just turn around while telling the Newegg to eat the bag of dicks while he sold the cards and bundled crap to someone else and walk right out the door.

So be it. Is it really worth newegg to eat 10k worth of motherboards they will never sell for the privilege to sell one 1k gpu bundle (they probably paid at least 900 for?) At a certain point you can only eat so much cost before going out of business. Anyway we will never know what's really going on behind the scenes, but if this kind of predatory activity is going on prices will only ever continue to soar.
 
6700xt with mobo for 990, hard pass. I even canceled a 6700xt tuff for 799 plus tax from amazon....when OEM (not ebay) pricing nears 2X MSRP think we're reaching peak insanity.
