Marx commented on [AfterPay] Samsung SSD 1TB 860 EVO SSD $134.10 ($131.12 Plus Members) + $32 Cashback @ Computer Alliance
Can stack with $32 cashback from [this](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/606103) offer as well

Not a good deal. Unless you're upgrading from 8th gen Intel. Ryzen 3600 has this beat in many benchmarks.

Got the [email](https://imgur.com/a/DfgEWtV) for winning raffle. Can confirm that I am not in any way related to them. I didn't even know...

Won't fit in the case most likely, since low profile cards have a shorter PCB board. Also you have to replace the metal bracket that is the...

theoracle30 on Patriot Viper Steel Series DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz $169 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Bad idea. Not only it's different in size, it's also different in speed. Better of selling the 16GB kit and buying this (or, if your...

Marx commented on Motherboard Clearout - Aorus B450 Pro Wi-Fi for $199 + Shipping and More @ Titan Tech
The x570 price delivered is close to Amazon pricing, albeit without the month long shipping.

Free metro delivery for order over $200

Had a look at their benchmark and lo and behold, Z490. Also they had 2933 MHz as their slowest RAM setting (which you can do with a B460,...

If you can wait until next month, wait for new Ryzen 4th gen to be announced. Prices for 3rd gen will drop as expected. If you can't, then...

j0hnd0e on TechFast Express AMD Ryzen 5 3500X | RTX 2060 6GB Gaming Desktop PC $1099 + Delivery @ Techfast

Default TechFast 750W PSU died on my system (3500x, 2060 super). PSU upgrade is a MUST.

Thats's the K version of Intel, which is more expensive than the non K here. Mind you that every time people do gaming benchmark that shows...

Buying a non K Intel in a non Z motherboard is just like throwing money when comparable AMD systems are cheaper AND can be overclocked.

the XMP profile are a bit different on those 2, the B model is 16-18-18-36, and E is 16-20-20-38. I take it you will be putting 4x8GB GB...

Depends on your motherboard and CPU. Zen 2 should handle XMP profile easily

It's not a problem with the RAM. Your CPU's memory controller is too weak at that speed. Try overclocking/increasing the IMC voltage if...

So-dimm RAM are more expensive and not as fast. Also, where's the fun in that? Getting a PC together is the best part of all.
