Do y'all ever look at what dudes are selling on Craigslist and FB Marketplace just for shits and giggles?
I check FB every once in a while, just for funsies. Pourquoi?

I wasn't referring to that kit though, but the market as a whole. Obviously the top end kits were higher then, but not the reg kits.
If you remember back later last year I listed the RAM I was going to buy at that time from BestBuy and it's still about the same price as it was then. It's been cheap for quite some time now.

Vaguely, but not specifically, and I imagine that was too long ago for me to find with the shite search function of this site
Link to post or kit?

Yeah it was like November I may try and find it later if I care enough to search that much.

Just remembered that PCPP does market trends. Looks like all DDR5 has been on a downward linear trend, with the line getting steeper as you move up market:

Ya late last year and on its stalled a good bit as they've hit as low as they are going to go now. But that was always predicted for ages so nothing new there.

Someone here is selling a 4090 FE for $1200 on FB. That's kinda tempting.

Would y'all say that the best CPU that comes with a cooler for gaming is the 7700 non X? I know that's a weird parameter but I was arguing with someone yesterday who said the 13700 non K was better even with the stock Intel cooler.

It absolutely is.
I keep trying to figure out whether I believe it's more likely that we are going to get an interesting mid cycle refresh, or whether this is simply a lost generation (at MSRP). I go back and forth depending on the day

My kneejerk is that they would be tit for tat, with the 13700 may having a slight edge. HUB did this recent comparison between the 7800x3d and 13700k, but conveniently, also included the 7700 in all of their individual game charts (but not the end summary charts). Not a perfect comparison, as it's the k sku, but at least it puts you in the neighborhood.

I just love how efficient the non X ones are and the Wraith cooler is fine as long as you don't overclock. I suspect it wouldn't take long for the non K 13700 to throttle with the stock cooler.

Just build that bitch on top of the motherboard box and rock out with your cock out until the case comes in

I sold my old Ryzen 5 3600 on FB for $75 a couple months ago - dude was trying to build his first ever PC using all used parts.
Had no idea what he was doing, so I kinda walked him through it over FB Messenger, and he sent me the video of it powering up and getting to tbe BIOS screen and I won't lie it was a good feeling

Someone is selling a PC here on FB with a Ryzen 7900X and a Radeon 7900 XT. It was originally listed for $1700 last week but now it's down to $1000 for some reason. The GPU by itself is $800.

It's either a scam, a mom who is "punishing" her kid and selling his gaming computer for whatever she can get, or someone is in desperate need of drug money

Ask them for videos of the CPU and GPU installed, and a CPU-Z, and GPU-Z screenshot.

It was legit, the system is $1k WITHOUT the 7900 XT. He sold the card separately for $700 and forgot to edit his original listing.

Decided to go aircooler for my 12900k. Ordered the Thermalright Peerless Assassin. Haven't had an air cooler in my personal PC in a looooonngggggg time
The 240mm AIO I had was pretty shitty, so I figured I'd keep it with the 9900k to sell as a bundle and try out the Peerless
