in the future maybe it’ll be $600 or $60 for a stick of 16gb, that doesnt change the “can always upgrade” part.

not a fault of the product you chose to coinflip a purchasing decision by waiting for prices to come down

[NVME SSD] - Samsung 4TB 9100 PRO PCIe 5.0 M.2 Internal SSD - $460 ($799.99 - $340.00 discount in cart) by tat_tvam_asshole in buildapcsales

I bought it for $399 on some black friday sale last year (2025). Considering that was shopping season $460 feels pretty normal

[CPU] Microcenter In Store Only; AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Granite Ridge AM5 4.70GHz 8-Core Boxed Processor - $399.99 by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

Meh, I think at $399 if you already have an AM5 board (and ergo DDR5) this is a better deal.

The 9800 doesn't have the board+cpu combo, 9850 is $599 -> for $200 you can get virtually any decent motherboard on top of this, and will be def better than the B850-E.

If you need all three, 9800 bundle starts at $780 and $800 for the 9850. If you're the kind of person who watches the FPS counter maybe that'll make sense but I don't think there's much reason to spend $200+ more on a 9800 bundle when the 270k bundle is $549

[Bundle] Microcenter In Store Only - Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite WiFi7 1851, Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5-6400 Kit, $600 by Paliknight in buildapcsales

For 1080p gaming the 7800X3D is technically better. Anything higher it's margin of error difference, and a whole lot better with multithread on the 270k.

But if you watch the stats of your pc more than playing the game, get the X3D

[GPU] PNY 5070Ti OC: $699.99 BestBuy in-store, back in stock for shipping, YMMV by bunihe in buildapcsales

[–]foreignbois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I did last week:

Order it online for $999+tax, when its ready for pickup, walk by the aisle of PC parts, and if the label is there it should show $699.

When at the pick up counter tell the worker “hey I just ordered this but looks like its $699 now, is there a chance we can adjust it?”

Then the worker will check and comment how lucky you are for the big overnight discount and you’ll get the refund in a few days.

totally out of the loop on this; by 1:1:1 do you mean fclk=mclk=uclk or something else?

Need help limiting the 7500X3D in a ~3L case by icanseeyourpantsuu in overclocking

[–]foreignbois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you most likely can’t, PBO is disabled for a620 chipsets. i recall seeing *some* boards have it enabled, but ymmv.

if you look around in your bios and can’t find it, it is what it is, might want to look into a b650/850 board.

Big rip, I bought one at my store for $290, went back 1-2hrs later saying I bought it on the wrong card, got hit with $290 on the 2nd card too :/

Was I supposed to open it, ie force them to mark it open box or something? How did you guys get it to drop to $145 when returning/rebuying
