MicroCenter is having a bundle special; Ryzen 5600X3D+550MB+16GB DDR4 for under $350. This CPU is exclusive to MicroCenter. Also has a similar Intel 12700K bundle for about that price. Seems like a good time to buy myself a birthday present and bring my home computer into the 2020s...

Amiga!!!

I spent hundreds of ours flying this thing:

Is there a place I can buy everything but the video card. I already have a very nice GPU(Nvidia 4070ti) but just looking to upgrade the rest of the tower now. That clsgaming website looked promising. Says it is fully configurable but you can't completely remove the video card. I have built my last two computers from scratch... just want easy now :)

Do you have a MicroCenter in your area?

Looks like there is one coming to Charolette in 2024 but not till then.

It automatically makes sure parts go together while assembling

But you still have to get all the parts and put it together. Unless they have something new on that site. But I might have to do it that way. I just wanted an easy option where everything is put together for ya.

If you've never put together your own PC I highly recommend doing so at least once. They're as integrated as an automobile in our lives and it's good to know the insides of your apparatus for DYI or negotiating with vendors.

Just MHO.

I used to be in PC support and have built two of my own PCs. I have torn apart several laptops to replace the guts and/or monitors. I am very familiar with PCs. I now run my own business and work at a hospital doing database/programming "stuff". I don't need experience I need easy :).

I've got 1x3x3 and never had a problem.

1TB 980 Pro's are going for $60 on Amazon. I bought one today because, why not?

Basically a tank of gas.

Crazy times we live in.

Alright nerds, i need your help.

What's the best Processer/MoBo/RAM/Vcard combo ya'll can dream up for $500 or so?

All of that for $500? Ummm... probably a PS5.

Meh, it doesnt have to be. But the cheaper the better as this computer wont be seeing much action aside from some casual gaming if even that. Niece wants a PC and i have a nice case, and a new SSD and PSU that's been hanging around for over a year now.
