Just got some 2400 mhz DDR4 Dominator Platinums off Corsair's website because all of the other usual vendors are out of stock. 2x8GB for 16GB DDR4 @ 2400 mhz, cost $190 w/ shipping.
Just leaves the mobo and possibly a m.2 drive for my new build. Might settle for a Hero. Which is higher end, a Hero or a Ranger? Both are out and I would perfer a ATX or larger mobo with lots of features and must be Xfire compatible so I can one day have two 295x2s. Ugh. 3 months until the VIII Formula/Extreme come out.

What is the resolution on that monitor? The ACER page for the XB1 doesn't say, strangely enough.

Hate to tell you, but that's a terrible price on that RAM.
And why go buying DDR3 speeds?
We told you before, the Hero is plenty for you.
Or, get this, you could buy another board with more features for less money

Yeah perfect price point and quite large at 500gb...
Or I could buy Windows 10 instead of that m.2, else I have a legal copy of whatever version of Server 2008 R2 I want from my school, (datacenter, obviously =P).
Maximus VIII Hero: $229
That M.2 drive I linked = 174
Total $403.
Pretty perfect it seems. Assuming that length of m.2 will fit on the Hero...

I would venture into M.2 PCI-E 3.0 interface and not SATA III. You would see a huge jump in performance otherwise you're limited with SATA III which is the same as the other regular SSDs. You're better off purchasing a much cheaper retail version of the SSD than.

$160 vs $174.
I think a free SATA III slot is worth $14 because I have a lot of HDDs to migrate over anyway. Bah. It's all ordered now anyway, should be here by Friday of next.

Went on a rare trip to Microcenter today, (the one in Madison Heights, MI, a rather ritzy suburb of Detroit, it also has a Neiman Marcus among other fancy stores) it's 40+ mins from my house so I rarely go there but its fun once and a while, I picked up a usb extension cable I needed, should have gotten thermal paste too for my new build but I forgot :L
The largest stack of HDDs I've ever seen in my life
Storage cap is obviously over 9000
also a bit of their paper

That's only $20 cheaper than up here. Less if they make you pay duty at the border. And actually looks like only $10 cheaper, direct Canada has it for $130. So really not much better of a deal at all.

I couldn't help and notice the AMD R9 390x for $429.99 which seemed the be best bang for your buck as opposed to the $200 2GB GTX 960. I than went to the egg to check out a few, I like to randomly look at gear every couple days and see how things are going and or read some reviews, NO R9 300s ON NEWEGG. GONE, POOF, NOTHING. The R9 300s tab on the left hand column is gone. The only one they have is the 200. Now this got me wondering. They even still have the advertising R9 300 link but no GPUs to be found.
This is the 'what did you get today' thread, not what 'didn't' I get...

Hey! No cellphones while driving!!
Congrats! I hit 453,200 today, and I also discovered my new replacement Corolla has 2 holes in the unibody, right through the frame. *great*
You can imagine the fiberglass and metal I'll be buying to fix that.
