First time putting a deal up, Seems like a good deal. I have ordered one.
Bundle Deal from Mwave.
ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-PLUS WIFI AM5 M-ATX Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 AM5 3.8 GHz Unlocked CPU Processor + Wraith Stealth
Delivery was $17.95 plus $5.54 transit cover (optional)
Yep, both separate is around $600!
damn! I wish i didnt buy a 5600x so recently!
Nice combo!
Bought, time for an upgrade!
that mobo is clean af
Now to find a deal on DDR5 and PSU….
If you're ordering from mwave anyway, the below is pretty good. 48gb is nice as 32gb is very occasionally limiting, so gives a bit of extra headroom and still well priced. Not the fastest, but ram speed isn't super important.
ram speed is very important. latency too. though you can always trade latency for speed and vice versa. CL28 @ 5600 = CL36 at 6400.
RAM speed really matters surprisingly little.

I do suppose the below 32gb of 6000CL30 for now $224 is probably better.
@incipient: You're commenting on an AMD setup, while saying Ram speed matters very little and posting to a review about Intel Products. It's well known Ram speed matters most with AMD
@bobvegas: apologies i do hate using video references >.<
Basically zero difference. So yeah different CPU vendor, same result.

Can you explain this review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW2rubC5oCY ?
Tasty deal, well done OP
Also Cashrewards
Fail miased it
1.2.3.. and gone
Missed out!
Tempting, but ASUS did have a bit of bad rep recently, particularly in relation with AM5. Might be the reason for this combo…
They got a bad rep by leaving up a confusing notice about warranty validity in combination with beta bios, when said beta bios was to prevent the mobo from cooking itself.
Just way too slow to respond to people questioning the conflicting statements.
Assuming its all resolved now?
It is but they damaged their brand hard. Not including the asus router fiasco few months ago as well.
Just check what version it actually ships with when it boots. Update if it's one of the older affected ones.
Probably impossible for you to hit murder voltage bug on first boot, but use bios flashback function if you are paranoid? (Assuming the function works without CPU here)
I mean in Australia generally retailers handling warranties and we do have good consumer laws so we aren’t affected as much as ppl in other countries
@Dienk @burns13 back in stock.
Anyone know of any RGB ram that is compatible with this mobo?
All DDR5 RGB ram
weren't there heaps of problems with Asus motherboards recently causing AMD issues?
Good price but I've been on the hunt for an ITX deal for months and nothing still! :(
itx is a niche market, you won't alot of them sadly. I went with mini-itx for my current build 3 years ago and when its time for upgrading I will go with matx as there are more choices around and deals around as well.
Goes all through way thorugh to payment page? Then says out of stock but you can still pay…..what's this mean it'll just be a back order.
It says its in stock ships in 1-2 days
Now I'm torn… shall I get the 8 Wicked Wings for $8 or this?
Suggest you make 57 orders of 8 wicked wings for a total of 456.
Gonneeee
Dang it, it sold out while I was trying to convince myself that my old b350 motherboard and r5 3600 are perfectly fine and I shouldn't upgrade.
I guess I should thank OzBargainers for not overindulging myself?
its back again
Running an i7-6700k here (8 years old). Good time for an upgrade
Same. i7-6700k with gtx 1080. Looking to upgrade to 7800x3d +4080 (plus new mobo and ram) . I hope Amazon prime day have some good deals.
I'm running a GTX 1070. If this deal gets cancelled, I'll just upgrade my existing PC with a new GPU instead (looking at second hand 6800 XT)
Could you stick with it for another gen?
Would you get rekt for not climbing the PC parts treadmill?
Do you have a work requirement for the upgrade? Any specific feature that would be more productive instead?
Additional monitors? USB Dock? New recording hardware? etc.
Have you pre-allocated discretionary spending on PC & parts instead of accessories, monitors, peripherals?
Have you done the 'put it in the cart for a day' test?
Be careful not to overthink it though! Analysis paralysis, opportunity doesn't knock on the door too often if there is low risk involved.
EXACTLY.
It took me a long time in life to learn that money rich and experience poor is a crushing feeling.
Never live outside your means, and always keep double what you think you'll need 'for a rainy day', set aside.
But beyond that, experiencing things is important; and for the tech folk, that can mean new hardware :)
Oh no definitely don't overthink to the point of paralysis.
As long as you've got the checklist, one tick will get you over the line.
Looks at the $199 surface 5 pro I snagged today - decided I definitely needed a windows device I could pop into my folio.
Work - tick.
Can be expensed (under 200, blessings were given) - big tick.
Can act as an additional monitor for the dell on the go - tick.
Cheap enough to not worry about it in comparison to features being delivered - tick.
What gpu do you have and what settings+res you play at? No point in upgrading if it won't change your performance.
$38 shipping - no thanks.
Thanks OP. Got 2.
Got 0. :(
Just checking the reviews on the motherboard. Seems this board doesn't have PCIe Gen 5.0 for GPU (only 1 for M.2 connector), not sure how important that is to people.
Don't think any cards support PCI-E Gen 5 at the moment
Oh really? My bad then.
I mean I guess it's good to have for future proofing but wouldn't be too concerned about it
Yeah, current gen gpus can barely benefit from pcie gen 4 over 3, gpus won't need double that bandwith for a long time. Pcie 6 will be a thing before 5 gets utilised, kind of how it goes in the consumer space.
@Robbo014: Or B650E. Only the E have a PCIe5 slot, but the non-e can still support a PCIE5 m.2 slot for SSDs.
gpus won't need double that bandwidth for a long time.
The main thing i'm concerned about is this recent trend of nvidia and especially AMD doing x8 or x4 connections on perfectly decent GPUs and going "don't worry x4 is Fine™"
(Fine text: only on 4.0 lol)
Most AM5 boards are like that it seems. Or at least the ones in the price range i look for. Some have only 4.0 for M.2
I think only the b650E/x670E boards have pcie 5.0 x16 slots
crispy
I'm not sure I like the form factor though. A 4070 will completely cover that NVME and PCIE slot, so if you want to use that other PCIE slot this may not be for you, but it does have two NVME slots with heat-sinks, which is nice.
Any good RAM deals to pair with this?
Turns into $759.00 in cart?
Looks like it has been Ozbargained!
The checkout price is 698.95 pre-delivery. I spoke to Mwave, it was a mistake on their end.
Are they cancelling orders?
Mine got cancelled.
Bummer. Looks like I ain't upgrading PC's then lol
I didn't ask. If you ordered on the advertised price they might have to honour it. But this is my assumption, take it with a grain of salt.
My order just got cancelled
Bundle $759, buying separately add up to $698.95, discount -$60.05,
Wonder if they would've let OP's order through if it was never ozbargained.
mine just got cancelled. I doubt they would of.
cancelled too
And another bad experience at mwave. I think I'll call it quits trying to buy from them.
These less blatant pricing errors are always annoying.
sorry fella's, I though this was a legit deal, I guess when its to good to be true it is.
Nevertheless, a really good deal if it’s not a price error
Poor form by mwave.
I'm still rocking that 2060 Super from a few years back that was posted here for $480 when they were going for around $600.
It was a price error, but Umart still honoured the deal.
I remember that. So every time Umart are anywhere near the cheapest on a part, I get it from them.
Just Purchased the AMD 7600 on the ebay sale and was looking for a board, instantly had buyers regret seeing this..
..was too good to be true
This is insane
