I know it might be nieve of me as I'm looking for a Ryzen 5 3600 and maybe I shouldn't expect anything to reduce around it (mobo,RAM) but I've waited three weeks and watched two of the parts in my basket go out of stock, now with a 1-2 months lead time.....

Black Friday has never been a day for individual pc parts to go on sale. It's more the extras like mice and keyboards than tend to get reduced.

The value is huge on amd already, it can't really get much cheaper.

Can you use two M2 drives at once?

I'm pretty sure there is only the one slot, under the graphics card

Yeah thats what I mean, probably naivety on my part but bought my parts, and my Dad doing the same

Although just reding up on Graphics cards for him, he has a RX 590 as part of his built, think he's coming from a card I gave him like 6 years ago so just seeing if hes getting bang for his 200 bucks

Black Friday is always about Amazon trying to clear out their cheap Chinese imitation crap.
You can get some good deals on keyboards, mice, ssd's, etc but that's about it.

GTX 1650 Super is a better buy than RX 590 for sub-€200 now.

Considering upgrading my gpu, that or upgrading my Ryzen 1600 to a 3600.

What kinda money do you think I'd get for a Red Dragon Vega 56?

Cheers passed that onto him.

He's actually a big AMD fan and tends to make all his builds around that. Telling me he has my old 560TI graphics card in his machine, because an old AMD I gave him (was like some R9 model) broke a while back so he still had my old old GPU

So whatever he gets he is going to get a serious lift I'd say in performance haha

Reassembled my convertible (laptop/tablet) after new SSD install, just discovered the trackpad isn't connected.

€200 or so.
You'd need to get an RTX 2060/Super / RX 5700 or above to see a substantial improvement.
CPU upgrade might be better.

The sad thing is some clueless parent will probably buy it.

Jacovs · 30-11-2019 06:36PM

Jaysus, thought id have trouble giving away my fx6300 + HD7970 build if I ever upgrade, but might put it up for €1000. Bargain compared to that surely?

kevovek · 30-11-2019 06:58PM

haha holy ****, I gave my fx6300 + 7870xt to my mate for free should I send them a bill for a grand?? also I had a look at his twitch channel and there is one clip of him playing unturned at what looks like 5fps

i was having a bit of hope to get some parts :< surely these supplier would like to take advantage of black friday? i bet in US most people renew their rig every year this week

Have the urge to change case again. I do that alot. Really like the look of the Lian Li pc o11 dynamic, trouble is I only got a Corsair Crystal 570x about 18 months ago, it's still perfect. Might get a decent price for that on adverts. Decisions.

ill be disappointed if one to buy a Lian Li O11 without having like 9+ RGB fans :pac:

speaking of which, i always bookmark for X part and then set an alert if i could (use camel3 with amazon for example), that way no impulse buy for me! and the price is discounted hence the purchase is justified...:P

Nolars · 01-12-2019 04:25PM

Lads picked up a 2700 can anyone recommend a good matx Mobo with WiFi.

TheDoc · 01-12-2019 05:28PM

Folks just reading about my incoming parts.

MSI Tonahawk Max and Ryzen 5 3600. Reading the bios needs updating ?

Saw a video from MSI themselves showing how to update bios from USB. Handy I came across it as I can prep that now.

Is it possible maybe my mobo can be ready to use Ryzen and if so how do I tell before building?

Don’t want to put this all together to have to take apart

wotzgoingon · 01-12-2019 05:33PM

Has MAX in the name so should ship with a Ryzen 3000 compatible bios but it will need another newer bios installed once you get it for stability issues and what not.

RGB fans is something I have a lot of! 3 of them will have to go with the 570x though. Maybe newer RGB fans will get a price reduction soon

As for the price of the case, I'm secretly hoping its gets a discount on cyber Monday or somewhere else along the line so I can do what you do and justify its purchase

Should I do the bios update from usb? Or just install very thing and bios update on first post ?

Either way uses a USB stick. It'll already run cos its a MAX board so I'd just install everything then download and flash the newest bios from the bios flash tool. Up[date the AMD chipset driver too.
