Living near a MC is a godsend. These bundle deals are incredible.

I don't know how you feel about aliX but they have the 7500f for $135. They are suppose to be having a $20 off $200 on the 1st but I don't know if it will work on that. If it does I'm jumping on one. A lot of people say they've ordered and its...

AM5 isn't that expensive. That's a 2 year old argument. If you were buying new anyway, the difference is only slightly more at this point and has an upgrade path going forward vs. a dead end platform. Obviously, if you already have an AM4...

TheHig replied to the thread Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?.Yeah right now the GRE is bringing strong value for the money on the Radeon side and if it has to be Nvidia I like the 2070 super personally.

7900 GRE gets my vote for the go to upgrade. Nearly 2.5x the performance of the 1080 and doesn't break the bank.

I've had to RMA Asus mainboards 3 times over the last 20 years or so. It's NEVER pleasant, and they are always slow and wanting to fight with you, but I have managed to get a working replacement every time I had to. Every brand will sell you a...
