Wellp... things are winding down; another few hours in the NewEgg "FantasTech" sale and it's all over. Unless they extend it.

I'll admit one thing about the
Prime Day/ANTI-PRIME DAY phenomenon... if you're looking to "refresh" a budget last-gen gaming rig, you can get pretty good on the cheap. Name-brand B450 gaming motherboards, $60-70. 16GB DDR4-2400/3000 $45-70. "Slower"
(note quotes, please
) 512GB nvme drives $60-80, and they're giving away the 1TB Intel 660 drives. Right now several Crucial combos; 500GB P1 nvme SSD and DDR4-3000/DDR4-3200 ram for $92.
Ryzen 2400G for $99, 2600 for $119. Even saw a Ryzen 3 for $47. Think I'd still rather have a Ryzen 3600 at $199 than the 2700 at $149, though.

I'm half tempted to build a second rig out of just the sloppy seconds on NewEgg...
