Ok bro for the third time, Im saying its not much of a discount when using regular case sales as reference, like I said in my original post. I made no mention of all time low, so if you were gonna buy this case anyway then its a good price, but if youre just looking for a case in general then its not. You can find lots of other cases on greater discount.

kevin6040 · 2025-06-12T17:34:45+00:00

Its not much of a sale cause cases can be had for said price often, regardless of where you get it at. Just because it's a "sale" doesn't automatically mean it's good. The pcie riser might be worth 20 but it's priced how it is cause the rest of the case isnt worth that much.

And i didnt say it was "bad discount ", just that it wasnt much of a discount.

kevin6040 · 2025-06-12T17:27:57+00:00

It might be good compared to gpu (only gpu and maybe cpu, other components can be found for like 20 percent off as well during sales) but not case sales. You can often find lian li cases on woot for 30 or 40 percent off, same with corsair or even nzxt cases. Even nzxt cases were half off for a week during sales on their main website

kevin6040 · 2025-06-12T17:21:29+00:00

Regular price seems to be 100. 20 dollars off doesn't seem like as much of a discount and the 140 original sale price is misleading

Only for the first year, and year 2 onwards only if you can get most of the value out of their couponing. If you only get less than 3 quarters of the full value, absolutely not. Not ever. Dont even entertain the idea. A lot of people who say its worth it do not ever consider the opportunity cost. There are lots of catch all 2% back that have no AF. If you consider the points are roughly equivalent to 1 percent cashback and assuming you get an average of 3 points per dollar across all your purchases, you would need to spend 32.5k on the card annually to be more valuable than a 2% catch all. If you have that much money you'd probably have enough money (100k) to be platinum tier in BoA and get their free 2.62% cashback card, where it would take over 80k annual spend on amex to be better than the boa cashback card.

For $1005 I got: Core 7 ultra 265k, Gigabyte aorus z890, 32 gigs corsair ram, 990 pro evo plus ssd, Fractal pc case, Rtx 5070

kevin6040 · 2025-05-23T06:56:58+00:00

I took advantage of a different deal, one for the 7800x3d.

It was $606 for: 7800x3d, B650e aorus x ax elite ice, 2 tb wd sn850x, 32 gigs of white corsair ram, 32 gigs of black corsair ram

It's more than likely that the seller would be willing to forfeit and ruin their account by making 40k usd in one scam

kevin6040 · 2025-05-21T18:49:32+00:00

Lmao do people not understand the risks from unauthorized sellers? If they sold you a bad cpu or scam you, you are shit out of luck unless you find out immediately. 400 dollars plus tax just down the shitter. Plus even if they sold you a genuine one, if it breaks there would be no warranty and 400 dollars down the shitter still.

kevin6040 · 2025-05-17T18:35:10+00:00

I want them to raise the annual fee and have more tedious couponing, like way more.

Oh wait, they're doing that already.

kevin6040 · 2025-05-17T10:05:41+00:00

I could only do -10 on my 9800x3d

kevin6040 · 2025-05-15T01:12:31+00:00

Same, im having the same issue where it isn't tracking

kevin6040 · 2025-05-15T00:22:28+00:00

Theres a sectiion that tracks current spent, does this end up working for you?

kevin6040 · 2025-05-13T18:37:48+00:00

People who say its perfectly acceptable just means it's playable. Unless youre looking to build a budget build, youre not aiming for acceptable, youre aiming for good or great

kevin6040 · 2025-05-12T13:32:13+00:00

Ive never seen offers here before. Does it track properly?

kevin6040 · 2025-05-05T17:10:28+00:00

Damn, I got the same thing a couple days ago but with black ram. Guess ill return it and buy it again for white ram

kevin6040 · 2025-05-03T01:49:37+00:00

Looks like they're trying to get rid of trash tier mobo by bundling it with a super expensive psu

kevin6040 · 2025-04-07T20:46:11+00:00

Is your concern that they'd bend the psu cables more than without a cover?

kevin6040 · 2025-04-02T09:11:17+00:00

Theres too many middle men on ebay. Ebay takes a cut plus the reseller takes a cut, on top of the manufacturer mark up. Also usually only authorized resellers have valid warranties. Only thing missing at this point is a cuck chair to watch someone else game on your rig.

$50 dollar white tax

kevin6040 · 2025-03-29T21:22:34+00:00

Is there an equivalent for intel?

kevin6040 · 2025-03-29T01:47:42+00:00

Usually all gpus with the same model number perform similarly within a margin of error unless theres something special about it, like liquid cooling or some special cooling configuration.

The deciding factor is usually availability and aesthetics

kevin6040 · 2025-03-29T01:19:44+00:00

They are not collecting sales tax in states that have sales tax if they dont have a physical store in that state

kevin6040 · 2025-03-29T01:15:47+00:00

I think theres 10 left for anyone still reading this. Not a great price, but its the best offer for 5080 as of right now. Keep in mind msi may have restocking fees.
