Ok i think microcenter needs its own subforum.
My disappointment is immeasurable when i see a great deal just to find out its microcenter, and my day is ruined.
I miss the days of the old, massive Computer Shopper magazine when there were dozens and dozens of merchants all competing on price. Consolidation has not been kind to consumers.
People getting these at this point would likely be for budget gaming and everyday use, who aren't necessarily going to get a super high end GPU or SSD where PCIE gen 4.0 would be needed/noticeable. And there's no "futureproofing" with AM4 anymore (makes very little sense to upgrade to a 5950x years from now), so B450 isn't detrimental.

In the early 90s, the Computer Shopper magazine was massive. Probably weighed 10lbs and had thousands of venders/bulders.

It's not that great of a deal. 5600x is about 140 these days. m-Atx board is about 80 give or take.

I miss the computer shows and mom and pop wholesale where one could both get a good wholesale deal and not pay sales tax

Dang I forgot about those. I used to buy spindles of CDRs at those shows to burn all of my legitimately downloaded music, I swear. Such good times.

Would this processor be an upgrade from a 1800X?

I know the feeling. All those old Fry's deals (RIP) used to do the same to me. Glad to see a store in the Detroit Area taking on the mantle though.
Me too. I was looking forward to the weekly Fry newspaper ad when they had offers like these, and had newspapers...
No microcenter closer to me than a 2 day drive...

Melodrama not necessary. I'm sure you'll live. MEI is in a bunch of major population centers.

Never going to happen. Their only allowed to open stores in areas that don't have territorial priority.

The manufacturers and distributors have agreed upon territorial lines. AMD and Intel have very specific deals with micro center allowing them to sell them legally at a lower price than their competition but only as long as they don't infringe on the competitions territorial lines
