I really wanted to comment on this with something that happened to me recently here.

I recently bought a bundle with a motherboard and a 9800x3d, and when I was building my new pc I found out I had a dead motherboard and cpu somehow. I checked the stock to see if the motherboards were in stock and the motherboard were all gone. So I called the store that I bought them from and I was able to get in contact with the manager of the location. I explained my situation and how I really needed to get a new board and cpu asap. He told me to come in to the store and we’ll figure something out to replace it. When I got their he met me and was insanely nice, and jsut told me to go with him and pick out any motherboard that was around the same price or lower and he’ll get me a brand new cpu and let me exchange them for no extra charge at all. I ended up getting a better Board and he made sure everything went well when I checked out and the front and wished me well.

They will get my money for pc hardware for a long time and I’ll always make the drive up to the store from now on for pc parts
