+1 for another satisfied customer! Now to try and decide if I have enough money left to upgrade my office pc as well. Looking at that X570 Tomahawk with a glint in my eye.
Sure. My opinion on it is, if you are going 3rd gen Ryzen, you might as well get a motherboard that gives you support for PcI-E4 (SSD and GPU).
The B450's do not offer this. The B550 does (albeit a little more expensive). Decent B550's can be had from as low as R2500 up to R3800'ish (I would not go more than this as then the value proposition drops off).
Yes, B450 is cheaper, but they are also getting harder to come by as they move into end of life. If you are prepared to splurge out for a new cpu, adding a bit more and getting a board that future proofs you (even a little) is worth it IMHO.
Customs still being a pain, thus far looks like there is a delay in the clearance process, I was informed ETA was tomorrow 24th July, but now looks to be pushed out to next week Friday 31 July 2020.
If I receive my stock early enough on Friday I will send orders out then already. I know a few of you are waiting for your orders so I'd like to get them out ASAP!
Honestly the price bump on the 3600xt vs the standard 3600 doesn't make it worthwile.
My 3600XT pricing would be the same +- as local stock (and that's cause of supply + demand and distributors not selling the XT at the same price as the X).
So, got an update from customs, my stock is still slated for this weekend but ETA has moved to Saturday. I'll probably end up going to customs myself to fetch it if I am able to.
Will update (with pictures) once the stock arrives!
Just wanted to post an update. As usual service in SA is terrible from most companies, DHL have been stuffing me around since last week.
I am however finally getting my stock this afternoon, I'll be going to their depot to pick it up myself personally as apparently the package was delivered to their depot AFTER their drivers left for deliveries today.
Your items will be packaged tonight and will be shipped off tomorrow with The Courier Guy. I will send you updates (waybills etc) a little bit later on tonight.
I will also update my thread with available in hand stock once I've had a chance to do so.
