You should be posting the 270 and 250K deals that dropped back down for the weekend. This isn't the X3D you're looking for. The 7500X3D bundle is still up $100, and this one needs to be down to $250.

The 250k deal sold out quick. I'd probably pick up this deal if it hit $250 just to hold me over with a cheap build until prices come back down.

Fyi I bought the 7500X3d and had some problems with the board. It wasn't bios flashed so it didn't display. The io shield was flimsy and kept shorting the boot sequence. I wanted a better board and the 7600x3d went on sell so I spent an extra 100 bucks. Granted I bought the bundle at 250.

Edit: This was just a mobo and cpu only. When I returned it, it skyrocketed to 400.

I brought the same bundle and I almost returned it due to the BIOS issue and it still cannot boot after BIOS flash. I have to reset the BIOS to fix it. I think many people will return it due to the same reasons and experience.

270K at $200 now is crazy.

This is actually a decent deal, I may get it and just sell the RAM, board and my 5600X and keep the X3D

Almost as good as the deal from 3 years ago for $270 https://slickdeals.net/f/17034469-asus-b550-plus-tuf-am4-atx-motherboard-ryzen-5-5600x3d-16gb-g-skill-ripjaws-v-270-free-store-pickup?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arecent%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse

Thank your local tech CEO for buying everything and driving up the prices for everyone.

This is the way, if you're going to pay $300 for it.

I've had the same bad experience with 2 different Gigabyte motherboards for 2 different gen CPUs (1 Intel, 1 AMD) and 1 MSI Intel motherboard so I'm done with those brands. I've used about 8 different ASUS motherboards that all work perfectly since then so I only use ASUS motherboards now even though Gamers Nexus has shown ASUS won't honor any valid warranty claims if I ever have a problem.

No one wants the 16GB 8x2 DDR4, and this mobo. You will not get $300 back for it, reduce cost of 5600X3D but not all of it
