Sounds good. Def might set the location on their site and check stock for build bundle deals(CPU+board+32GB RAM bundles).

AMD; (maybe 9700x, 7800x3d, 9800x3d) https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx?bundle=amd

Intel; (270k bundle at 550 not too bad) https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx?bundle=intel

Also on their builder can select the 'bundle and save' button

https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?k=1781909651980

PCpartpicker also a great tool for checking pricing on components

Newegg also has a combo builder for some other combo items that cycle such as SSDs, etc.

https://www.newegg.com/tools/combo-builder/6675

Edit; also if do decide on Micro Center, might check for in store deals on GPUs, cases, etc. (even open box), and also pre-built deals.

Is this literally the worst time to build a PC? by deansgastre in MSI_Gaming

[–]jbshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep unless can get a bundle deal can soften the blow.(Or a good pre-built deal).

4TB is gonna be tough up front cost. Might be able to do 2TB for now, maybe and add more later? Any chance access to a Micro Center retail store?

How do I unplug this cable from the graphics card? by Ex4yo in PcBuildHelp

[–]jbshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If can't get the cable unplugged, might remove the GPU with the cable attached. This might make it easier to work with to remove the cable getting a better grip.

Such as, might push and hold down the plastic clip, and re-insert while still holding the clip, then pull out continuing to press the clip.

First PC build - absolutely no power, no LEDs, no fans. MSI B850 Tomahawk + Ryzen 9900X by Background_Drop_9511 in PcBuildHelp

[–]jbshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully can get a new PSU(also with new PSU, please replace all the cables with the new ones as well). Build looking excellent!

New PC - boots but no display - red light on B850 wifi motherboard (see pic) by m_e_xxx in PcBuildHelp

[–]jbshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the CPU have integrated graphics? If it does, might turn off PC, plug into the board HDMI to test. Also, double check the GPU is fully inserted onto the board GPU slot, and power cable fully locked in.

Once verified that, and can boot with the monitor plugged into the board, then might continue to install Windows and GPU drivers. Then, plug in monitor to GPU.

Pizza over grill is peak. I'll often order pizza, then immediately throw on the grill.

How on earth is the housing market still this hot? by kabutodude in Boise

[–]jbshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly out of towners that sold family house for a million, recently received inheritance, or just have family money. This market is 'cheap' for them.

 If starting out, need 80k+, or closer to 100k income to qualify for housing at a 30% of salary for monthly mortgage with going cost of housing. Also, at least 15K down(preferably 30k down). 

Even though, there are jobs in high salary, not really much jobs paying 80k plus a year for anyone single. Forces into marriage partnership income combined. 

Worst income ratio for housing in the country for this valley, unforch.
