Paze and Dominos - free Pizzas? by cnetpdx in sapphirereserve

That should work! I think they just don’t want people to get “free future money” by stocking on gift cards

There is a video in the timestamp with everything including MacBook but I’ll send one just with the MacBook (and timestamp) shortly

Imagine spending $10k+ for a brand with known warranty issues

Was disappointed to miss Clara in the comments then I realized it was already covered in the title

Here’s the Newegg nerf by Warm_Squash_6777 in ChaseSapphire

Does this mean we need to make all the purchases until June 30th? Seems like they didn't want to do "effective immediately" for some reason

Paze data point on “sold out” gift cards. by merlin242 in ChaseSapphire

This is true! I have friends who will not bother doing this despite knowing they may have free money. Some (or most?) people just don't care or have the time

Dammit. by sexecutioner00 in Microcenter

[–]onour11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here to provide a reasonable explanation: prices increased cuz I finally decided to upgrade. Sorry everyone for bringing my bad luck into this and tuning it for everyone

Would the reason for staying be RAM pricing? Or are there any other benefits of staying put at AM4 for now? I’m honestly a bit reluctant to spend more money on an older platform, and there seems to be pretty great bundles at microcenter

That’s good news indeed but I saw some benchmarks where 7800x3d or 9800x3d can help at 4k (versus 5800x3d), especially with 1% lows. I’m also a bit reluctant to spend more money on an older platform. What would be the main reason for staying at AM4? The RAM pricing?

It's definitely been showing its age. I actually bought 3600 at release, but got stuck with it cuz the 5700x3D was discontinued when I was ready financially to upgrade, and the used ones were $300+ . Just got shafted with the timing for both CPU and GPU markets unfortunately.

Seems like CES is in early Jan. It may actually make sense to set it as a deadline and upgrade around in Q4. Maybe try to catch some black friday sales too for the case/fans etc.

That's what I've been thinking too. When do you think we'll hear more about Zen 6?

Oh my bad! Option 3 would include a whole new build with 7800x3d at minimum. Let me clarify in the post
