The 2600x is on sale for like 160 today. That's nuts.



The 1600 for $80 at Microcenter for months now kills that deal

In store only. Not everyone has that ability. I imagine that someone selling CPU's in their garage for $5 is an even better deal but you have to be there.

Sucks to not have one near by you then, I just picked up their Inland 512gb NVME x4 SSD for $40+tax. They sent out $20 off anything mailers a while ago. Price was $59.99, so I walked out of there for under $43 for a higher end 512 gb nvme drive

I always hit up Microcenter when I'm in Atlanta. They not only price match but they'll pay tax too.

Getting a dell R720XD tomorrow with dual e5 2660, 32gb ram, H710 raid card and 8 600gb 10k HDDs

I probably wont keep the server itself though, since I'm looking to do a more compact and quiet rack

A lot of our interest with "computer" isn't in gaming anymore.

Just FYI..

I'm would love to play with something like that for free or on the clock.

I don't have anything anymore besides a measly HP SFF PC to run pfsense and MC server.

I'll be using above server as my Plex, sonarr, and radarr, and my 1650v2 build I'll be transferring into a rack mount case to run pfsense, pihole, and MC server off of that

Worlds first PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD is hitting 5000MB/s.

That is about double the 2500MB/s of the previous gen.

That's pretty cool, but pretty useless at the consumer level

Yeah especially when PCIe 5.0 is coming in 2021 at 10000MB/s speeds.

I'm still good with my 950 Pro for awhile.



I assume that this is where the PS5 is getting its "faster than any SSD available for PC" tag from though.

Anyone have any experience with EVGA GPUs? I am looking at purchasing the RTX 2070 Ultra Gaming for $530, $500 after the mail in rebate.

They usually take forever and it comes back on a visa gift card.

I never factor the subtracted rebate cost when buying parts bc it's not worth it

Yea. Like 6mths to a year. Crazy long. But read the terms. Some could be only 3-4mths.
