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.

"7800X3D will be an utter failure of a CPU" - Will it thought?

Bumpity bump.

I agree. I have one forsale in the classifieds right now in an Abit IP35 Pro board! I ran this rig up until a few months ago. It was very snappy with 8gig RAM and an SSD.

Not a shocking review. I think we saw this coming.

The difference between the 1,000w Vertex and 1,200w Vertex was $40. For 20 cents per watt, I chose to spend the extra $40.

It's the same old $hit. Does anyone actually read the reviews? These CPU's, the 7950x3D at least, have sold out across the country already the first day. Are there really that many people that wanted this thing or do you think there's scalping going on? Who knows? I guess I better be ready...

I had bought a 7950x from Microcenter last month with some EXPO DDR5, but returned it since it's gaming performance wasn't much better than the 5800x3D or 7700x. I am forcing myself to be patient for the 7800x3D. I am building from scratch and not upgrading, so I would rather stick with AM5...

I will wait for the 7800x3d.

Apparently, this thing is overclockable:

I think I will wait for the 7800X3D and then make my decision on that vs. the 13900k. By then, the 13900k may drop in price a bit more. It's already down to $529. Then it will be a price/speed/power consumption decision. If the 7800X3D "simulated" benchmarks hold true, I think that'll be my...

You build a PC based on what you are going to use it for. What is your definition of "productivity"? My definition of productivity is writing a memo/letter in Word or building the occasional Excel spreadsheet/PowerPoint presentation and browsing websites. To be honest, my old overclocked...

Underwhelming? This is the 5800X3D vs. 13900K (which cost almost twice as much) - arguable Intel's fastest processor right now:

There are several negative reviews on Newegg that specifically talk about coil whine. Maybe it was on some of the earlier made boards. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145415?Item=N82E16813145415

I am really waiting for benchmarks on the new 3D chips to make my decision. Depending on what they look like, I may go 13900k.

There are complaints of coil whine with this board. I assume noone here has experienced this?

Ok, so using this list; I'd you had $400-500 to spend on a board, which one would you pick?

I ended up with the EVO in black. Can't wait to get started!

Kingston KC3000.

Bump

Bump.

Well it was a brand new EVGA. Those are selling for quite a bit more because EVGA doesn't sell GPU's anymore. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Technology-Backplate-24G-P5-3987-KR/dp/B08J5F3G18

I landed a 4080 FE from Best Buy about a month ago for $1,199. Overpriced? Maybe, but about a week before that I had shelled out $1,700 in desperation for a new EVGA 3090 FTW3 off Amazon. I decided to send that back for a full refund when I got the 4080. It will be plenty fast enough for...

And this card could be all yours for....

Same.

True, just not the typical thrift store deal people think of when they go to goodwill and buy a $100+ Polo sweater for $4.
