MicroCenter sells CPU and motherboard combos at a small discount.

Use PC Part Picker to find the best online deals. MicroCenter doesn't do much of online sales.

Search NewEgg and Amazon as they are always trying to one down each other. And be careful from buying directly from NewEgg/Amazon or if it's those authorized sellers on NewEgg/Amazon.

Any thoughts on this?

Are you getting another GPU or you just added that to your list without zero'ing out the value?

The list overall looks ok; I don't see any issues.

I'm going to reuse the gfx card, I just put it in the cart to see if there were any compatibility issues.

I didn't realize you could zero it out.

thats your call
bf doesnt always give deals and could possibly sold out then too

most of the stuff you have listed wont really drop much in price
not sure if you live near mc but they are usually worth going to for cpu/mobo

do you have ssd?

Thanks for the reply. I have a ssd, but I wouldn't mind grabbing another one.

I'm about 3 hours from a microcenter. Would the sale be worth the drive?

You can always go to MicroCenter's website and see their sales. Then decide if it's worth the 3-hr drive for you.

i live about 2hrs away and i usually make the trip for other things in that area too

I know mc does have other sales thats not always on site which always has me dumbfounded when i get there
and the one here supposedly does have chances at gpus in the morning I guess (hearsay)

I changed out the mobo and added a SSD.

Does this look okay?






Should I ignore this?




Also, would I notice any big difference swapping the ryzen 5600x for the 5600g?
