So here is what happened. Wife and I were caught in last years horrible "Camp Fire" in Butte county. 95% of the town we lived in was destroyed. I lost my i7/three monitor setup. It took us about a month to find a place to live but it wasn't able to support a gaming setup. I now live in a place that should run a setup just fine and i got my old deposit money back so I'm ready to buy.
I'm looking for a ryzen or i7 setup. NO 83xx, 63xx, i3. I'll consider a good i5. Prefer a 6 or 7 gen i7. I'll consider a 3 or 4. Would prefer the board to support NVME drives though. I would like to avoid buying the board, cpu, ram from different people so preference will be given to people who sell me the core together. I'm hoping to find someone who can sell me all three of those for a good price. What is a good price?
I can get the following from Amazon right now. These parts are prime, meaning shipped to my door. This also means they have a return window, etc.
Cpu: 1700X for $164
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-1700X-Processor-YD170XBCAEWOF/dp/B06X3W9NGG
Board:asrock b450 for $86
https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-ATX-Motherboard-B450-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKJHR
Ram: G.skill 16GB ddr4-3200 for $80
https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Ripjaws-PC4-25600-3200MHz-F4-3200C16D-16GVKB/dp/B015FXXBW0
Adding that all up, for $330 i can get new /refurb parts with return windows, etc. I'm looking for a 6700 or 7700 with board and ram for $250ish. Maybe $275 if the board is nice. Again, i can get a good 8C/16T cpu with all the modern bells and whistles for $330. I would think buying used would save me at least ~20%.
I do need everything else as well. Only thing I've bought is a set of headphones, mouse, and an 8TB usb drive. I have mostly nothing so bundles and low prices get my attention. With the new ryzens out now I'm hoping someone can help me come up with some new parts.
Shipping will be to 95926. USPS Money order or me covering fees PP will be payment option. (zelle? I think that's an option but I haven't used it.) I don't have anything in trade as I don't really have anything anymore.
Edit: i forgot to mention. I don't like small/tiny. I know no ITX. I'll consider matx but i really prefer full size. Including the case.
Edit: So basically what happened is prime day. I've got lots of new parts picked out but there don't seem to be any video cards on sale. I WTB a GPU. ~$200 budget. Best i can get. 1060, 1070, 580. Make me a deal guys!
Final edit: Had money and with the sale going and parts being sold out i couldn't wait anymore. Maybe next time Hardocp.
