looks good. two 1tb nvme drives

where you get that free memory?

that PSU is way overpriced though. you can see the list price is around $130, so that's gotta be some crazy reseller price. idk if there's a PSU shortage or some shyt (corona related?), but I see they're sold out at most spots, or ridiculously priced. I'd wait for a better price

I already had the memory from a while ago I was planning to put it in my current rig but decided to save it for the new build.

But yeah it seems like there's a PSU shortage going on. Newegg, Best Buy, and Corsair have it listed as $134-$149 but they're out of stock. I'm gonna wait on them.

I have a MSi b450 motherboard and I want to upgrade my cpu (ryzen 2600 to 3600). I need to update my bios on my motherboard. Is this simple? Just bought a 2070 super off a friend. Any tips or suggestions?

I done it a month ago it's straight forward but I would clear the CMOS off the rip

I was having issues immediately after doing it but clearing the CMOS seemed to sort it after a week

Making me want to get a NVME SSD at that price


Be wary of ordering right now

i bought all my parts off new egg last Tuesday, paid for 2 day shipping


Nothing has arrived yet although tracking numbers show monday and tuesday for most of them


The case hasnt even arrived at UPS yet to even ship

i doubt ill have all the parts even this week

pay 2 day shipping for 2 weeks shipping in reality brehs



before anyone says the protests are holding things up, Thats the excuse newegg is using, but in reality the protests were going on for 5 days before I ordered, they must of shipped thousands of items prior to my order in those 5 days. For a big company they should of been add a warning for that like they are now.

100% depends on the product. I've ordered stuff that wasn't supposed to be here until July and still got to me in 2 days randomly
