EXPIRED 12900k CPU+mobo+DDR5 $400

[freakdiablo]

Little last Gen but still a deal considering it's maybe a third of what I paid for a 12700k + board + lower speed DDR5 a little over a year ago.

Not too shabby of a deal!

 

[JLK03F150]

Yeah, Microcenter has some of the best combo deals out there IF you can easily drive to one.

 

[Nebulous]

Yup. I wish I had an MC close by me. I'd be happy to eat a lifetime supply of Rammin' Noodles

Another reason I'm glad there is no MC near me.

I have two of them about 20 minutes away. I've been there on more than one occasion making bad decisions. lol

One of those locations used to be next to a Fry's too.

I bought that $399 combo last Sunday to upgrade from my two-year-old H610/DDR4 setup to Z790/DDR5. I sold the i9-1200K instantly on ebay for $330 and used the Asus Z790 and 32GB DDR5-6000 with my existing i7-13700K. Went into the BIOS and set the RAM to XMP and it runs at 6000 no problems. I suffered with Ryzen for 3 years with all the niggling issues and AGESA updates and so went back to Intel 2 years ago. I haven't had a single issue with Intel, just set it and forget it. I was tempted by the $599 RTX 4070 Super, $799 RTX 4070 Ti Super, and $999 RTX 4080 Super GPUs they had in stock but was able to leave without one.

Funny, I think I just read your review on MCs site lol.

It's a good thing the board isn't ITX, I may be tempted to upgrade my htpc for the second time in ~6 months...

Do they charge TAX on this still if it's shipped out of State? I remember some states were starting around the time I left. Maybe all of 'em do by now.

You add that to what it would cost for me to then get it here to France...

 

[freakdiablo]

I believe they charge the state tax of the state they ship it to, but haven't tried out of the US. I think you can only get the bundles in-store anyway.

Yep, I put one up.

Speaking of ITX, my Microcenter has an open box ASRock B760M-ITX/D4 for $108.

The closest one for me is Chicago or Indianapolis.

You gotta plan these things. You're a racing fan, right? What's in May? That's right, The Indy 500! Two birds, one stone. Plan a trip to Microcenter and a day or two of practice runs at the track.
Weekday practice tickets are $20/day, weekend qualifying is $30/day.

That would be cool great idea.
