You can, depending how much effort you're willing to put in. Stock of the 5600x is fairly easy to come by in comparison to the 5900x or 5950x. BH is your best bet, but MemEx has been getting some decent stock drops as well. I just got my 5900x yesterday after a long wait.

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but mine comes out to $249 - $20 coupon when checking out. I've looked at the page a few times and nowhere do I see there should be a $20 discount being applied.

FYI - I also added in the recent XPG PSU to my order which HAS the $20 dollar discount applied to that. I noticed if I remove that $20 discount I lose a total of $40 discount in my cart but if I add that $20 discount back, somehow I end up with $40 discount....

Which PSU is it? I built a new system and used my current PSU so I need a budget PSU to put in my old system. While XPG wouldn't be my first choice, it may be good in the secondary system.

Right now I'm looking at the RM650x which is on for $118. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B079H6111J/ref ... BSBF?psc=1

I was debating motherboards for a long time when building my new system and the Tomahawk was the budget X570 board I was considering.

I actually ended up going with the higher tier MSI X570 Unify as I wanted to try building a system with no SATA drives.

I used an MSI 570-A PRO for my rig. I usually buy Asus mobos, but I liked their MSI low profile GPUs so I decided to give their mobo a shot.
I have AMD and a NVIDIA GPU on it, one for gaming one for productivity. Every time, and I mean every time, a new AMD mobo driver is available I get the Windows blue screen of death with some random error message. After upgrading, everything is back to normal. I traced it down to the mixed GPUs, since if I shut down the screen connected to the NVIDIA GPU the crash does not occur.
I forgot to mention that the MSI 570-A PRO manual was a crock, it actually had wrong info about mounting a 3600x CPU.
Not very impressed by the MSI mobos.

Great price. I just purchased this 2 days ago for $309. Does anyone know if I can just get Amazon to do a price adjustment? I would rather not waste resources to buy a new one and ship it back.

This one https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07Z8J1973/ref ... 5EV8QP2XCQ

Both the 650 and 750 have $20 off coupon still available. I was hesitant on the xpg but after going through a few reddit, YouTube and LTT reviews, it has been rated and deemed reliable. Full disclaimer - I am a complete pc noob. Have only bought prebuilts so far in my life. Decided to put together my first ever rig and am slowly collecting the parts.

Got the x570 now and PSU, still need case, Ram, AIO, etc.
Now waiting on 5900x to be back in stock again and prepaid for a back order 3080 which I'm not holding my breath on.

For your use case I would go with the rmx650. If you're just looking for a budget PSU for your back up system. Rmx650 been around longer and more reviews to back it up, however it doesn't mean the XPG 650 PSU is no good either.

Welcome to the custom pc building club. You will get addicted and spend way more money than you should lol

Sorry you are entering into it at the worst time in history.

If you want a 3080, BestBuy has had pretty significant drops the past few weeks. It was in stock for over 3 minutes a few times over the past 3 weeks. If you don't care which 3080 you get, BB is definitely your best friend. You will have to use something like Distill, or join one of the Discords that post stock drops.

Thanks for posting the PSU. I'll take a look and consider my options. I'm partial to the corsair just because they're a known quantity to me and I've used many of their parts over the years.

Amazon does not do price adjustments so you will have to buy it at the new price and return your old one. If you use a reason like "Arrived too late" they will not charge you for return shipping.

There was a good drop on AMD yesterday afternoon and the 6900 XT and 6800 were available for a minute or so. They sell for much cheaper than Newegg & co. There was no 6800 XT tho...

I tried calling in and talking to the manager and they said no too. Real big waste of resources for a company saying how green they are.

How did you find out they had stock? Do you stay on the site all day?

There is a twitch stream you can follow for cpu/gpu stock. I got my 5600 from BH after a couple days of having it run in the background and listening for the drops.

All I have seen for a few years now is MSI doing things that are totally anti-consumer. There are also brands out there that have been making motherboards for far longer. Combine both those things and I say pass on this motherboard and anything else MSI makes.

Deal me in.
