But Amazon doesn't accept paypal.

I can't imagine why anyone would accept paypal. 5% cashback with the Amazon card.

Amazon charges me tax, Newegg doesn't (yet). I assume it's the same for some others.

Is the only definitive advantage to this TR chip over a Ryzen 1700x (which costs at least $100 less, and motherboard which costs $200 less) the extra CPU Lanes?

Quad channel memory?

A cooler name.

yeah the lanes and quad channel, the lanes usually mean 3x full nvme drives as well. And i guess if you wanted full lanes for 2 video cards
