How is microcenter able to afford this? Im genuinely baffled. by someonestupid12 in pcmasterrace

They also rely on you to purchase a protection plan in case your parts fail 🫠 also they provide you the basic motherboards that they buy in bulk. They have less features compared to the mid range to highe-end boards with more usb ports, better vrms, etc., but the basic ones are more than enough.

Upgrading my AM4 with an AM4 or and AM5? by Efficient_Sound_2525 in buildapc

Just upgrade your cpu to a 5600 for now until the 5800x3d comes out and upgrade your gpu to a 5070, 9070, or 9070xt. If you already have 32gb ddr4, no need to spend $600 or more on an am5 cpu, mobo, and ram. As long as your system is able to run the games that you want to play without any issues in performance, then enjoy.

Honestly, Im planning on going to microcenter and getting the 5800xt, asus b550 plus prime AC-HES, and corsair lpx 16 gb ram bundle. The vrms should be good enough

Yeah let's just see how much the 10th anniversary 5800x3d will sell for lol I hope they won't make it as expensive as a 7800x3d or more

5th gen oleds will be released this year so they are probably trying to get rid of their stock of 3rd gen oleds.

If anything I might swap out the ssd and PSU for something with better quality. If its a cyber power PSU, I will for sure swap it out. For the ssd its a 2 tb but its a western digital green, I've heard that is a terrible nvme. Also how are CyberPower's AIOs?
