Good CPU deal. 20 bucks cheaper than most other places. Also, system memory prices are spiking. If you find a 32GB DDR5 kit for under $200, buy it now if you trust the brand.

It's ridiculous right now. The 2x 32GB Crucial DDR5 ram I purchased less than 2 months ago for $155 is now $400.
Yep. RAM has spiked quite a bit recently thanks to AI datacenters. SK Hynix just announced that all their memory produced in 2026 is being sold to NVIDIA. The world's second largest producer, with over 20% market share, is sold out.
RAM, SSDs and video cards will all be expensive for the near future.
Wow to think 9 months ago the ram was basically a $50 addon and 32gb ddr5 could be had for around $100. Would regular rtx 5080 go back up to 1500 1600?

The stupid part is that these ram kits were already just sitting there and the price just doubled. Its not like it doubled the manufacturing cost for these sticks
great deal! bought the 9700x + MSI x870e + 32GB RAM combo and installed it today. huge upgrade from my ten year old i7 6700K, now i can play Battlefield 6 without stuttering. USB4 is also amazing, was getting 1.4GB/s transferring 500GB from external SSD to the NVME
