    Goodwill store treasure

    I've gotten some steals on Goodwill.com cases for local pickuo. Last year, picked up TWO Thermaltake Level 71 cases for $22 each. Worth the hour drive to pick them up. Last month, got a deal (not as good as the above) on a Corsair case.

    Samsung 980 MZ-V8V1T0B $40 at Dell

    I would suspect zero. I was an early purchaser (as soon as I heard about the deal - and it still showed as available). I doubt any went out the door at that price.

    And what would likely happen - I'd drive down there and find out they were OOS - leaving me with the same travel expenses and no CPU.

    I was finally able to get into their website. However, there was no option to add a Raptor Lake CPU to my cart for in-store pickup. All I was offered was the "Locate in the store" diagram. Looking at the 13700K/KF. I already have a 6900XT in the system I am upgrading, so integrated graphics...

    I tried to add the blue one to my cart as soon as it was visible, then my cart showed it with QTY: 0 I did get the other one added where it reflected QTY: 1, but an error occurred when checking out. At that point, I went back to sleep.

    The RTX 2060 is about 10% faster, but - for the money - I'm just fine with the 1070.

    This is the 1070 I got. Pretty happy with the price.

    Sorry to hear that. Now I feel better about my $159 1070 order - as I received a shipping notification from EVGA.

    Given the choice between the upcoming (but not yet available) RTX 4080 for $800+ or a 1080 Ti for less than $200, what's the better "value" choice for an upgrade at the moment? I would certainly look at the 1070/1070 Ti/1080 for under $200 if I wanted/needed an upgrade from a less powerful card.

    I had that in my cart, but was unable to complete the transaction before it said it was gone. It was you! ;) I then tried to add a 1070 Ti - same issue. Did manage to snag a 1070 for $159. Definitely an upgrade over the RX 480 I have one in one of my secondary systems. Now I figure I can...

    Yet it's still a new 3060 Ti available for purchase for less than $500. I'm sure a lot of people don't "need" this card, but it seems to be in quite high demand these days. I went ahead and purchased one - as I had 50 EVGA bucks to use.

    Wanted to follow up and confirm that EVGA is issuing me $50 in EVGA Bucks for the recent price drop. Now just waiting for a 3060 Ti to stay in stock long enough for me to use them.

    Does EVGA offer any sort of price guarantee? I purchased that same card direct from EVGA for $919 on 4/20.

    I started out looking for a 3060 at a reasonable price that was in-stock. No luck. Shifted my focus to a 3060 Ti. No luck. Repeated the process for a 3070, 3070 Ti, and a 3080. No luck. Finally found - via ASUS - a 3070 Ti that was in my budget. Ordered that. While following this thread...

    I had the same issue with BoA when trying to purchase an XBox Series X. The bank flagged the transaction and put a hold on my card ... while the 15-minute purchase window was counting down. When I called, I was told that the estimated wait time was 23 minutes :( Went back and chose to go the...

    I hate you ;) I used the link above for a 10GB 3080 as I was still waiting for my 3070 Ti to ship direct from ASUS. As soon as I received my order confirmation for the 3080 from EVGA, I received a shipping notification on the 3070 Ti. My son is going to be really surprised when I end up...

    Alder Lake launching November 4th

    The nearest Microcenter to me is 2 hours away, and the gas, tolls and higher taxes make Microcenter more expensive. Will be nice to have Amazon deliver the CPU and motherboard to me on Monday.

    HDMI 2.1 AVR Recommendations (2021)

    While I didn't "need" a new AVR, I did pick this up after I found one at the third Costco I visited. For everyone's benefit - while this model is not listed on Denon's site is, the manual is! The Quick Start guide in the box provides a link to it: https://manuals.denon.com/avrs760h/na/en/

    New four bangers unavailable?

    I also had the same pre-order in for the 3300x - with the same July 16th estimate. When I saw it was in-stock at NewEgg, I cancelled by B&H Photo order and did a new order from NewEgg. Received an email from NewEgg this week that they could not ship my order - as it was actually out-of-stock...

    [H]OT MSI MECH OC Radeon RX 5700 269.99 In Store @BestBuy CLEARANCE. (YMMV)

    I just stopped by my local BB to see if they had a discount price listed. They did - but not as good as the one from OP. Shelf sticker for that MSI said $287.99. I had a $50 BB gift card from Christmas, so I figured "why not" and purchased it. Total after tax was $247.
