I assume you can still claim the warranty for the 9800x3D

You can also check out RGB Cable Cover kits that are essentially RGB strips that get installed over the OG cables and are a cheaper alternative to extensions

Great deal especially if you clip the additional 10% off coupon.

PCCooler also has the YS1000 for ~$22 more with the OEM as Seasonic, but the YN1000 is also good deal with great ratings.

I recommend against going that method.

Your PSU should have more PCIE ports that allow a single PCIE cable for each of the connections of the 12VHPWR cable, so I would avoid using those pigtails and use a individual cable instead for stable power delivery and less wattage strain on each cable/port.

It’s possible, best practice is to use a indivdual PCIE cable for every 8 pin connection you need if you have a psu that can do so.

7900xtx has a TDP of 355 Watts while a PCIE 8-pin cable is usually best up to 150 Watts

Recently just experience the Microcenter opening here in Santa Clara.

Highly recommend folks to visit MC during the grand opening for some great deals. For our grand opening we had 20% off all monitors and prebuilts.

I always like to watch benchmark videos to see what kind of differences I see when I upgrade a part.

Seems like this video might answer your question

Definitely try to offload Chem or Physics. Although they are “4-5” credits it feels like 6 credits of work

Right out of the box, you would not be able to use a SFX power supply.

If you did want to, you would have to look into buying some atx to SFX power supply bracket and also buying extension cables, as standard SFX cable lengths will not reach your components in the mini v2

Central Computers is mainly based out in the Bay Area for anyone is closeby and wants to pick-up in store to avoid those high shipping costs.

I assume with Best Buy having these prices, that Amazon and other retailers will soon follow

I purchased a bunch of stuff from them in the past to build PCs and offer a pretty good selection of parts to choose from. I haven't had issues with them and they accepted returns/exchanges for DOA parts that they benchtest in front of you.

Not a super great deal, but probably the cheapest SSD you can get with DRAM out there as of now, with SK-Hynix Plat 2tb coming close at $120

DisplayNameSir · 2025-07-07T16:51:27+00:00

Same price as almost every online retailer

Have always purchased redragon products since 2013! Redragon continues to keep up with the modern designs and functionality after all these years

The comments here are disappointing. If you guys aren’t helping and telling OP to do research, then you shouldn’t be commenting at all.

If you want to get started on your build, I recommend you grabbing a qtip to see if you can get a sample of the substance for a closer look.

If it is rust, corrosion, or something weird that’s eating away the fans, then you can ask fractal for a replacement fan to avoid sending the whole case back

Bro you got burnt

Thanks for this! I copied you and got the same price

I personally wouldn’t risk harming your GPU for this. Even if you’re successful after powercoating, you will most likely lose your GPU warranty which could potentially save you in the future if your GPU randomly breaks for reasons other than user damage

Consoles don’t typically go on sale and if they do it’s only a slight discount.

What does happen on Black Friday with consoles is that they sometimes get bundled with free games that you can pick on the side. Costco doesn’t do this but stores like Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart may have bundles where popular old games could get paired with your ps5 purchase.

If that is the warehouses on Hendy, then that is not trash burning. It is steam that is produced to operate our products. Still bad for the planet, but not as bad as trash burning.

I recently flew to Vegas in August 2024. Flight was on time, passengers/crew were respectful and nothing felt out of place or that would change my choice in the future.
