Now that's a good deal - hopefully it has a good Cache & controller
I'm still holding out - normally do most of my holiday shopping closer to Christmas (mainly due to holiday bonus check comes in at that time). I do plan on getting one of MicroCenter's Ryzen combo Deals - R5 3600 w/ board for $130 for my son's PC (already have a 500GB NVMe drive and memory for it).
Yep, gonna buy a B550 mATX mobo + Be Quiet! or Noctua cooler, then I'd be all set to build a gaming rig to replace my dated i7 3960X rig. With a 256GB NVMe M.2 drive for OS, and the Leven JS600 4TB SSD for storing games, I think I'm all set. for a new build.
By the time I get back home in February, I should be able to snag an RX 7900 XTX, the RX 6900 XT would then go into this R9 3900X system. It's gonna be a pretty powerful 2nd gaming rig, monitor's still my trusty old Acer XR341CK 34" 3440x1440 75Hz monitor, the RX 6900 XT should have no problem handling games at that res at 75Hz. Actually, I can hardly wait to get back and get my hands dirty building that rig.....oh yeah, I dunno if I wanna keep my Tt View case or get a mid sized case. Will have to mull over this.....
BTW, that Leven JS600 4TB SATA SSD isn't from China, seen so many SSDs from China of unknown brand and quality, did a little research on Leven, it's a Taiwanese based manufacturer, seems they are pretty decent, but I guess I'll be the guinea pig for this one.
