but it seems like they are cancelling orders from people on slickdeals.

it was basically an $800 computer for sale for $151. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...FUPl7AodShoAfA
I saw it and should have tried to buy it at first instead of running around wagging my dick all over. but a lot of people had orders cancelled.
seriously i hate buying things. you have no idea how long it takes me to buy even a $20 pair of headphones let alone a computer rig.

i actually bought $20 headphones the other day. I like it cause the cord is covered in a woven material for extra chair-rollover protection. I had to return 2 i tried before them because i didnt like how they felt. But the only thing I dont like is that they had a huge band across them (they are the soft foamy ones that look like ear muffs) and it messes up my beautiful hair.

Just get something, you have all month to find a good deal. I also think you'll find the best deal on black friday.

thoughts on this combo? I realize it's an AMD chip, but it'll end up around $420 shipped after rebates. Seems like a fairly decent MB, only thing that bothers me is that is doesn't have a port to put the USB 3.0 on the front of the case.
Everything else I'm looking at packages the i5-3330, so here's a comparison of the two chips: Intel Core i5 3330 vs AMD FX 8320

i dunno. how would i?
isn't there usually a port on the MB itself so you can wire the front of the case? I see it has two for the usb 2.0 for the case, but nothing but the two rear 3.0 ports. Doesn't really matter, the only two things I use to transfer data with my usb is my camera and ipod.

Oh. I guess you're right. I didn't go to the details because i figured if the rear ports were 3.0 the expansion slots would also be 3.0.
I got a flash card reader to fit on my front panel and it's way faster than USB. That was my solution. Plus less wires.

Wait, what? You're looking at AMD CPUs and cheap-*** Motherboards?
Brain, stop. Just stop. Buy an Intel CPU and in Intel motherboard. Nothing else matters so much as having a good motherboard, chipset and processor. I'm not saying that AMD / Biostar sucks, only that Intel is better in every possible way. Better driver support, better documentation, more efficient, more robustly constructed, etc.
Pay the extra $50 and buy something nice.
