Like seriously, that processor is listed at $280 on amazon for the non-K or S version of the i7 3770. I have the K version which is basically the version of that processor designed to be over clocked and it costs more than double what that computer costs.

I just tried to buy two of them, and it's now showing as out of stock.

Damn, that was a hell of a deal.

Efini~FC3S 11-06-2013 09:47 AM

Did they forget a zero or something?

Leafy 11-06-2013 09:48 AM

For me it shows as in stock but it wont let me add it to my cart. Just call walmart, if they CS doesnt suck they will honor the price. I know amazon and newegg would.

Braineack 11-06-2013 10:00 AM

ugh. work got in the way and it's now out of stock. i should have bought it as soon as i saw it.

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.

Leafy 11-06-2013 12:52 PM

Buying a $20 pair of head phones is easy. They're too expensive to be that set that you dont care about and too cheap to actually be good so you dont buy them.

Braineack 11-06-2013 12:54 PM

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.

Erat 11-06-2013 01:00 PM

I have a set of Grado's and V-Modas.... Not the cheap ones either. lol.

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

Braineack 11-06-2013 01:23 PM

If I get something prebuilt, i'm installing win7 over win8.1 before I even start it.

Erat 11-06-2013 01:25 PM

Oh i don't blame you. win8 sucks.

Braineack 11-06-2013 01:39 PM

probably going to install it over the win8 install in our current coach/tv watching laptop.

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!

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

Leafy 11-12-2013 08:33 AM

Biostar motherboard? Thats the only thing that worries me on that list.

Why can't you?

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.

Erat 11-12-2013 09:19 AM

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.

Joe Perez 11-12-2013 09:48 AM

Wait, what? You're looking at AMD CPUs and cheap-ass 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.

Erat 11-12-2013 09:51 AM

Or don't and live life happily knowing that you saved $50 and will never be able to tell the difference in which CPU you bought.
