Closest Microcenter to me is about 4 hours away. I cry myself to sleep every time I see awesome deals at their store. I plan to make a field trip there some day.

How does the deepcool ak620 fit on the mobo? Is there enough clearance for ram and the vrm heatsink?

I am planning to pick this cooler up today but wondering if I need to get some low profile ram or I'll have an issue fitting the cooler with this mobo.
Haven't yet assembled it all but in my research, low profile is needed. The vrm cooler heatsink worries me too. Asus has been using different heights on those heatsinks

They will, when the 14th Gen Intel is released! These deals always come when the next gen comes out.
But remember when they did the $299 12700k a month after release last year? Man wish i could get a $299 13700k

I am also wondering if I really should upgrade my 3700x especially since I have been gaming in 4k/60fps.
I pulled the trigger and bought yesterday. I think its worth it for future proofing with PCIe 5.0 and other features. Also getting somewhat decent return on selling the AMD cpu/board at this time. I figure, this is the last gasp I can get out of my DDR4 set. I may never upgrade past this...Ha ha

Maybe the CPU was $299, but the only motherboards at that time were $200+
The combo deals with free boards are usually last generation or older (like the current AMD Ryzen 3000 deals they are advertising).

Any suggestions for a full size tower without any rgb? Something similar to an antec 1200 from days past.

Many reddit threads reporting audio issues with this mobo.

Anyone having problems?

Related question...any deals on midrange mini atx intel mobo's and cpu that aren't power hogs? Looking to upgrade an 8 yr old setup using an i3-6100 in a Thermaltake core v1 case. I'd like to reuse my one stick of ram. Lol.
You're looking for a Mini ITX board then. Unfortunately "deal" and "Mini ITX" are rarely in the same sentence - people are generally willing to pay a premium for the small form factor. I used this Asrock Mini ITX board; it's not particular feature rich, but may suffice for your needs.

Quote from IPass :
I built a computer about 20 years ago, and like to build one again. My knowledge is outdated. Can anybody help with the following questions:

1. What is the cheapest way to get a Windows / Office license?
2. Any deal recommendations on case, power supply, and ddr4. Simple ones would be fine, I don't anything fancy, I don't play any games. It is for browsing internet, light programing, and office,

Thank you.
On the MC website, under your account go to the build dashboard and make a new build. Once they review it and approve it, they will send you a $25 coupon for anything.
