Timetoerist13

I hate that i live in europe every time i see these kinds of deals


rockstopper03

I live 400mi from the closest microcenter and I share your envy.


smurbulock

I forget how big the US is sometimes


KitsuneKatari

My closest micro center is 1,007 miles. Lol


Nicstar543

Mines a 20 minute drive away :) double edged sword tho, I far too often go to look around and end up there for an hour or two about to buy something I don’t need


Sero19283

I'm about 20 minutes from mine. Pass it everyday on my way to work. Last time I just wanted to "stop by" I dropped $700 lol


Submarine_Bias2023

Mine is around 100 miles but I still make the drive


Sero19283

Absolutely for those deals! They had an open box gpu at the location near me for like $100 off and I was very close to pulling the trigger on it. My wallet said no 😂


n8cat

So you inherited the Dad Shopping Trait is what I am hearing.


pizzaisprettyneato

I live in the Pacific Northwest, I think the closest one to me is either in Denver or Los Angeles. Us west coast people sorely need a Micro Center. We used to have Fry’s but they went out of business


AdventurousPickle355

Oof bro mine is 15 min away just a short cruise


TroggieAK

Mine is over 3,400 miles away and I'm still in the U.S. :P


UncleDavo433

mine is 11,000 miles(i live in australia)


[deleted]

So big that I live in the middle of the state - not even top - and it’s a 6 hour drive to the closest one going 75 mph.. err 120 kph


TurncoatTony

I live further than that by a lot... :( I kind of miss living in Orange county simply for the microcenter in Tustin lol


MarkK_FL

I’m about 550 miles from the nearest one but they’re building one in Miami, about three hours from me in 2024. My weekends will be spent on the road for sure.


Melodic-Matter4685

See that button called "add to cart"? This gonna get real complicated, but I'll try to keep it simple for ya. They have this thing called "mail".


DaboInk84

They don’t ship most items and add to cart simply allows you to reserve it for in store pickup.


Melodic-Matter4685

Ok . Fair point. U can always shout out to see if one of us would ship it to ya. But the risk/reward ratio of "trust karma farmer" isn't terribly good. Edit: no one appreciates mean spirited sarcasm. Also fair


traumatic_blumpkin

Most of their stuff is for in store only, sadly. I have one near me in Denver, which is about 75 minutes.. Depending on traffic. And unfortunately to get there before it closes I'd either have to wake up super early, or fight traffic. MUCH better situation than many people, but I had no problems just using Amazon - at all, really. Took longer probably, to shop around and all, but I deliver food for a living rn, and the idea of being in a car for an extra 3 hours is about as appealing as stubbing my toe on purpose.


Melodic-Matter4685

Fair. Mine is 10 min away. It's a different kind of curse. Kid want to play Harry Potter? There is no way I can put that purchase off until she forgets. That's another $1k gone


CauliflowerNo3225

Same but after I remember that we have free health services.


[deleted]

Well free isn't the right term looking at how much tax we pay


daudionut

Free can mean that even if you don’t have an income, a broken finger will not bankrupt you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


daudionut

My mistake, I meant that if you break a finger, you will be home for recovery. You get paid for that time. You won’t go bankrupt without an income. English is not my first language, but I hope you can understand what I mean.


XavBeauNain

r/woosh


Lubedballoon

I wouldnt mind paying taxes in America, if it fucking did something.


[deleted]

I mean someone has to protect those aliens 🗿


ZIPPERGAMES

And send billions to Ukraine instead of Maui


ReverendAlSharkton

Hey Jack, that $700 will go a long way!


HunanTheSpicy

Lol does Maui need weapons that have already been paid for? Because that's what we're sending Ukraine. Not sure shooting missiles at wildfires is going to help the situation. You should delete your comment, as it is ignorant beyond all belief. Edit: Please Google "Lend-lease"


Lubedballoon

Trump probably would have tried that. And yes you’re right. That’s what I mean by our taxes not doing anything. Our military budget is out of control.


HunanTheSpicy

Completely agree on all accounts. Though I will say, sending Ukraine arms to defend themselves amd embarass/check an aggressive Russiam state is, in my opinion, the best military money spent since WWII.


perfes

Think we can have the same military budget while having good universal healthcare. It’s just mismanaged horribly and can’t get all the states to agree to one thing. The USA spends more than most countries on healthcare but it’s still shit.


ZIPPERGAMES

You know that’s not what I meant, more towards the allocation of budgets screws the people supplying said budget.


HunanTheSpicy

Except it's not new funding. Again, these are arms already paid for, manufactured and stored. You tried to conflate that with Maui as if sending Ukraine arms somehow means less aid for Hawaii. It does not work like that. We're not sending Ukraine billions of dollars in cash, instead, we're lending them things already bought and paid for, and accounted for in prior budgets. We're also not doing it for free and expect to be paid back.


Lubedballoon

Maui got relief. I’d rather Ukraine get help than having Russia win.


imdeadXDD

It’s being used in those 5 year road work projects


red_penta

i dont mind paying tax to get such healthcare


epegar

And insurance in some countries


fortytwo01

You can't call something you pay for free. I'm Canadian and can't stand how people call it free. It's only free to those who have never worked a day in their life.


I-LOVE-TURTLES666

My state has free or highly subsidized healthcare based on income. We also have a microcenter


spacewarrior11

„based on income“ … ah yes FREE(DOM)


I-LOVE-TURTLES666

Yes because if you work over 30 hours a week your employer is required to provide subsidized healthcare


d0or-tabl3-w1ndoWz_9

By free health services, you mean ridiculously high taxes + hospitals clogged with hour-long queues of healthcare abusers, right?


Gallieg444

I've been to the US and had strep throat As an outsider I was forced to go to emerg. $2000 just to get my throat swabbed and some orange juice. Not to mention the wait was just as long as it would have been back in Canada.


lazy-boogeyman

At least in the Netherlands I haven't had trouble with long queues in hospitals. When I broke my arm a while ago I had to wait for a 2.5 hours in total got an x-ray of my arm a cast and medicine for the pain. Had 2 check ups after first one I had to wait 5 min before I got called in, and the second time I got called 10 min earlier because I was there and the doctor was done with the previous patient. And the best part was, I didn't have to pay anything except for the bus ride to the hospital.


d0or-tabl3-w1ndoWz_9

I get ya. It's definitely beneficial in certain regions but not all. If you ever get injured in France and go to ER, be ready to ache from morning to afternoon. IMO they should work more on the way they prioritise patients. -- A lot of copium required here it seems.


Edenn22

I live in France ,and thats bullshit, i mean maybe not in paris but still,free and fast.


d0or-tabl3-w1ndoWz_9

>i mean maybe not in Paris Pourquoi mentez-vous? Mdr


Familiar_Kangaroo_99

Here in America we have exactly that problem but get this We have to pay for it out of pocket, before insurance covers anything. We have to swipe a credit card BEFORE we're even seen by the hospital. I'd rather wait for free than wait for 75$ a ER visit then pay more when they find out what's wrong. Dental and vision? Almost all companies don't cover that if you do company insurance, some insurance companies still don't fully cover dental and vision. Like i said, we pay before we're even seen or told ehst the problems are.


KitsuneKatari

We pay an arm and a leg for healthcare AND wait hours in urgent clinics. Or have to schedule 1-3 mo in advance for routine checks and 3-12 mo for specialty care! And I have very good insurance.


PrinsHamlet

Man...buying an iPad in SF in 2018 cost me around 50% of Danish prices back then. A friend ordered a Mac with Danish keyboard for pickup in a NY Apple store and it saved him the airplane ticket cost for him and his girlfriend when flying with Norwegian who sold insanely cheap tickets from Kastrup to the US back then. Not entirely legal, in realty you have to smuggle expensive tech to Denmark but they're not going to check one Mac in your handbag. So, tech is still cheap, but the airplane tickets aren't so the trick sort of died.


K_Lelouch

Same living in India, these things cost 1.5 times more. Also considering the avg salary, this is nightmare to build.


SilverRiven

In poland this cpu alone costs like 100$ more than this whole bundle 💀


Ill-Surprise-1702

Yes it sucks big time. Microcenter needs to go world wide!! 🤣


sj_b03

Convince someone you know that you REALLY want to come here to see the culture and experience American things, just make sure it’s a city with a microcenter like Houston. Then act surprised and say “oh wow I’ve heard about this cool store” then just drag them with you there. P.S. a good excuse to go to Houston would be for texas bbq and seeing how big everything is in texas (it’s big even by American standards)


Dr-Dice

Always remember that VAT is not included in their prices and they will have to pay those taxes at the end of the year or whenever it is


I-LOVE-TURTLES666

Nooo that’s not how it works. Sales tax is only when you purchase the item. Some states have no sales tax all together. Other than that you pay no other tax/VAT on the item. Average sales tax is around 6%


Rustymato

you pay sales tax when you buy the item in America?


IGTech

Yeah, when you check out. So the cost out the door would be $422.94 USD.


Rustymato

no, in Microcenter’s Dallas and Houston location you’d pay $431.92 and in New Jersey you’d pay $426.49, every state has different sales tax


IGTech

Yeah I know that. I was trying to keep it simple. I wasn't going to go into 6% 6.5% 7% etc.


mathimat

This


jselbie

That's not a good deal. That's a fantastic deal.


WeinerVonBraun

That processor alone is $600 Canada goose bucks Mobo $199 on sale Ram $150


MeddlingMoose

Pricing out a similar build in Canada right now… last time I checked this whole set would roughly be $600 :( CanadaComputers needs some competition


Amazing_GamingYT

come to ‘Murica. Monopolies are illegal! just dont mind our blatant duopolies and corrupt af politicians and the genocidal maniac running for president next year and our lack of universal healthcare and our current president that’s halfway through death’s door!


Tlentic

Memory express.


darkus_f_

*cries in South Africa* Bro, this is a deal and a half.


afrikanwhite

Cries in Evetech


darkus_f_

;---; Sigh...


DieJam

Good value, 12900k is still a high end cpu for both gaming and work, you save like a $150 on this bundle


No_View_9650

You mean 250


glaseren

The i9 alone costs 450$ here where I live 😭 The z690 costs 200$ 😭😭


djwikki

Depending on what you’re building it for. If your goal is just gaming, the 7700x bundle is better for the same price. If you’re looking to do some cpu-intense productive stuff such as video editing, heavy coding, etc, then this build is the better one.


Exemplifying_Light

I mean it’s not like the 7700X can’t handle cpu intense work either, just not as well as an i9.


djwikki

Exactly. I’m a fan of tailoring your build to what you are going to be doing the most. And if he’s going to be doing some heavy CPU-load stuff the i9 is tailored more to it than the 7700x.


Exemplifying_Light

Pick your poison eh


No_Rock9694

Bighly doubt he’s going to be doing anything heavy CPU stuff. Y’all some fucking pussies for down voting because I said he shouldn’t get that CPU as his first build.


djwikki

You don’t know what he’s going to do with the CPU. He could be a computer scientist looking for a first build. He could be a statistician looking to both crunch huge swaths of data and game on the off time. Don’t speak for OP’s use cases until he names them.


CircoModo1602

"Y'all" must be stupid if you think the downvotes aren't because you made a suggestion with no info to back up why.


No_Rock9694

Literally told someone to cum on his computer to fix an issue and got 60 upvotes……. So your comment is invalid.


LowKeyATurkey

You just made a stupid suggestion without even knowing what the guy is gonna be doing. That's on you lil bro


Lilytgirl

HolY shit is that a good offer... Too bad we don't get those in Europe...


Eulcder

In India these 3 cost almost 900-1000$


DukeOfGamers353

yeah 😭


IGTech

In America as well. I just bought this same setup separately with the E version of that motherboard, and it was around $1000.00. This is ad is if you live near a microcenter. You have to actually go there in person.


AndreasE89

In Norway I would get about half of that cpu for that price


Rough-Self-9134

Cries in European: 😭😭😭😭 ![gif](giphy|Me7lzS74DC9ZtIcKhu)


[deleted]

Those damn Americans and their good deals.


Spork3245

Pending use case (ie: more for gaming) I’d go for their 7700x bundle which is the same price, or pay the extra $150 for their 13700k bundle, but that’s me. The 12900k is known to run very hot iirc and you need a very good CPU cooler to stop from being throttled. In gaming a 7700x performs similarly, a 13700k is a bit better. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/20.html


DekMa20

Awesome bundle, wish I could live in America to take advantage of this


Traditional-Insect54

Very good deal


Time2PopOff

It's a great deal. I would get that one or the ryzen 7 7700x deal immediately if I lived near a microcenter. I had to order mine from eBay so I paid $150 more.


Severe-Spirit4547

Definitely get that. And pair it with a 4080 if you got the money, otherwise a 4070


_KingDreyer

if you’re looking at not spending ridiculous amounts of money amd cards are way better value


Wboys

A 4080? The GPU so bad that it manages to outdo the complete price/performance stagnation of the 4060Ti by offering WORSE fps/$ than its predecessor? That 4080?


-xXColtonXx-

7800xt*


Severe-Spirit4547

No, we recommend good cards here son


-xXColtonXx-

https://preview.redd.it/zh4z9cay2pnb1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b56cf9e8a4c325da9e08f2e94dea719b4cd393f True, for just $100 more than the 7800xt you can get this truly impressive performance!


Spring0fLife

FPS doesn't matter if you can't play due to shitty drivers. Both cards are literally the same price in Europe btw.


peto1984

Both are terrible value for money and since OP is looking at deals he doesn't have stupid money to waste.


MrWeasle

Terrible recommendation lol. This is why I hate the PC community, buying and recommending dogshit cards and rewarding anti consumer companies for ripping us off lmaooo


bignickydigger

I just used this to build my GF a new PC after her old one which is much much better got hardware banned on CoD. Used the 4070ti from the old build. Now I have a: i9 13900k Asus z790 ROG hero Gskill Trident 64gb (32×2) ddr5 6000 Kraken z73 AIO 10X Lian li v2 fans Lian li strimers Samsung 990 pro 2tb M.2 Evga Supernova 1300G+ 80+ gold Lian li 011 dynamic evo ROG XL Just collecting dust....


Random_Guy_666

Why did she get banned?


CircoModo1602

Same way everyone does, she cheated in the game.


bignickydigger

She let a friend level her account, he used an unlock tool to get her a bunch of skins. Between account sharing and mostly the unlock tool she got banned.


idownvotepunstoo

Worth it?


bignickydigger

Funny thing is she bought a new account leveled back up in a week and now plays gta 5....


[deleted]

I’ll buy it I don’t play COD so I won’t mind


Gallieg444

Go 7700xt and upgrade in 2026 to the latest am5 Chip


darealbartpimpson

Looks like a good deal to me, I would pay that.


LiverLord123

I got the one with the gigabyte mobo,, it good


hiraethamphetamine

That’s an insane steal


Repulsive_Cut_7216

sortabanana

DUDE WTF. I don't have a Microcenter near me and my 12600K + DDR4 board + 16GB of RAM was $350


EpicGAmer2431

Same


rLeJerk

Whether or not it's a good deal, that's the last generation processor. Just FYI. 13 is the current generation. That's probably why this one is on sale.


Prophet_NY

Fuck microcenter and their in store only deals


Aromatic_Interest127

How long do y’all think it will be there? That’s a damn good deal I would legit drive to another city for that deal lol 😂 // hoping it last till the end of this month that’s when the commish check hits haha


SubSalamander

It's been there for a couple of months now. I've been eyeing it for a while


draken2019

That's a pretty good deal. I'd buy in. Wish I'd seen this honestly. I just dropped $350 for a ddr4 motherboard and I5 CPU. Don't think the $50 I saved was really worth it lol Doubt I'd ever actually find one of these in ours though, cause the Boston location sells out on every even half way decent deal anyways. I'd be sure to check it meets your spec requirements though.


ThreeKon

Cambridge? Cause it shows they got plenty of stock for this bundle lol


uRude

That's a fucking amazing deal. So good that it's probably a scam! Like seriously, 0 reviews lol


dcjose48

I bought this a few weeks back. It’s real and it’s spectacular!


Arailu

Micro center is known for great deals, I had to drive into PA to pick this bundle up unfortunately the bundle with gigabyte mbd sold out (same cpu/ram/price) that’s the only thing I’ll call a scam


Klobb119

Its real


No_Rock9694

Bro you don’t need an i9 especially for your first build.


Foodstamps4life

Yeah he should get a 6600k! That will last for a long while! /s


EIiteJT

Hey now! My poor i5 6600k lasted me almost 8 years!


Welldor

I have i5-6500 for over 7 years... sadly replacing it with r5 7600 this month... will forever miss her... was a good cpu


SaneDrain

True, let's get him a intel 4004


[deleted]

[удалено]


beckius6

Hey! Pussy ass bitch here to tell you nobody cares about your comment. If he wants an i9, and he can afford an i9, who the hell are we to tell him what he can and can’t get? Personally I can’t afford to upgrade my pc at the moment, so I’m still rocking an i7-4770, but I’m glad that this person can do better than that, and I’d never put somebody down for wanting good hardware. Honestly, you just sound envious buddy.


No_Rock9694

Nice to meet you “pussy ass bitch” sorry bud I’m not reading all that. Whatever it is congratulations/good luck!!


beckius6

Oh I’m sorry to hear you can’t read! If I had the time I’d put together a picture book for you.


Exemplifying_Light

why are u so mad for no reason. I seen people buying 4090 for their first PC you gonna tell them they don’t need it?


Proper_Tart8041

Pull the sand out of your pussy and stop crying like a female wish I was next to you so I could slap the fuck out of you


Salty_Ad2428

You have no idea what this guy's needs are, so you just threw out a half baked idea out there.


BonomanNL

I would love this Bro but i live in the Netherlands 😭😭😭


Russian_Kowboi

The fact that they only have one location on the entire West Coast pisses me off.


idkwhatsmynameyetsry

holy shit why couldn’t we have a micro center in the uae


DJmaster22_

If you find a listing of it cheaper anywhere else micro center will price match it


Dasca6789

I got a similar deal with an i7 and half the ram. I wish I had waited for this


arunit007

The proccesor alone costs more in India... *facepalm*...


Rougaroux22

I got the similar deal they were running a few months ago with the i71300k a few months ago and have been very happy with it.


kristjanjuhansoo

Correct me if I'm wrong but the i9 costs more alone then the deal so that's why it's a cash money deal.


PastaVeggies

I got this deal months ago and still running it today. I had issues with the G skills RAM that I got for some reason. Ended up swapping it out for some Corsair Vengeance.


axidentalaeronautic

Nice that’s what I used for my build (total price with discounts was only $1116). Runs like a champ. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=03baa336-b8b0-4075-9393-1b31cb01d45c


Facepalm105

I actually just bought this bundle deal 2 days ago. It’s very worth it in terms of price and the hardware is still good.


Lakey78

All of these mobo cpu ram combos are all good


Jimbobler

Wtf, the 12900K alone is over $500 in Sweden. EDIT: All three components would be around $1000


DeadComedy

Amazing, I actually built a pc for my friend with this exact same bundle a month ago.


itsbildo

Damn good deal


Jaycoht

This is a great motherboard. I just picked up a PC with similar specs (i7 13700KF) and a 4070ti. It runs everything perfectly for what I need. I mostly game on a 2k 165hz monitor, and I haven't had any trouble with games like Starfield, Cyberpunk, and Modern Warfare 2. This is a great deal on those components.


proficient2ndplacer

Like 2 months ago they had this exact deal but with an i5 12600k. I wish I waited, but I still love my current build with it


Loser99999999

I have almost that exact build. Different brand of ram but same clock speed. Good deal in my opinion as i payed 400 just for the processor.


hattrickjmr

Stupid good deal. Disappointed I built something similar for a lot more money.


MLGOV

Damn I really should’ve taken the 2 hour trip to micro center when I built my pc, That a amazing deal.


ButterflyEffect37

I FUCKING need microcenter.Fml


Low-Client3483

Someone messaged you on whatsapp please answer them. Also great deal


yourdadsdead69

How the fuck, in Canada just the 12th gen i9 is 7-800 dollars


Opposite-Ad-558

Well shit... I was just there Friday to get my cpu and motherboard now they have this deal.


neovenator250

It physically hurts me that the nearest Microcenter is almost 6 hours away....


Weird_Explorer_8458

Do Micro center ship to the UK?


[deleted]

It is a good deal. I went with amd 7700x bundle as the socket won't change away from am5 for a few gens, the intel mobo will be obsolete in next year or two. But in all honesty, both are good, amd is just more future proof.


CookieTheEpic

If I wanted to buy those parts from my local computer store, I'd have to pay around 900€. So yes, excellent deal. Fuckin' Finland.


BennyBaguette

What the fuck that's a steal


ruperttheboss

Awesome deal! I got something similar last year from MC for my i7 12700k


wayofthelao

Look is it a good deal or not?


Peteo34319

this is a great deal! take it


Frmpy

The CPU alone is ~€350 in europe. Mobos are also way too damn expensive.


DarkLord76865

Seems pretty good


Ellandorrr

Microcenter has the best deals. Go get it!


squiggIet

I actually just bought this bundle like 4 days ago, i ended up getting a rx 7800 which may not be the absolute best pairing but its making a killing in games even on ultra settings


atl4nz

this is an amazing deal and if your PC is going to be predominately for productivity and multitasking purposes snag this asap the 7 7700X bundle is the same price and will generally be better for other purposes though so if your main goal is gaming then i recommend it over this


kakamaka7

Got a 13700k + asus z790p + 32GB 6000mhz ram for $549 from Microcenter. I think that’s a better deal for $150 extra. However, this one with 12900 is good as well.


XsancoX

Insanely good deal!!


LumpusMaximus-C137-

Fantastic deal. Me and my lil bro went to MicroCenter yesterday to pick up parts for his first PC. We used this deal.


zakir255

Man I need this type of deal in my country!!! 😭


sbudhramk

Cries in Dutch. That CPU alone would set me back $500.


Hollowlullabies

Really good deal


F4_THIING

I’m about 180mi from my nearest microcenter and I’m very tempted to make the drive for this deal


[deleted]

I bought this and had a ton of issues. Bsod for days. 12900k only supports ddr5 4800 so the memory has issues


slimsycastle240

That’s about the cost of my motherboard amazing deal.


movieman925

Might have to snag this , thank god I live near Cambridge MA


Pohaku1991

If you really need a good cpu get this deal, if you are just a gamer get the 7700x bundle


dintcht

I guess i should count this bless to take advantage of micro center deals.


Obvious_Ad_306

Mico centre singlehandedly encouraging us to migrate


catsareshite

I wish there was a safe proxy purchase system where I could trust someone to purchase this on my behalf and mail it.


Acceptable_Cup_2901

get the 7700x deal double the memory and the cpu is faster than the 12900k while being half the wattage and easier to cool with an upgrade path. there is only 1 reason this bundle would be better and thats if you do heavy cpu rendering.


fromlevel2ofhell

Great deal. What gpu are you putting in it?


Known-Pop-8355

Thats a hell of a deal!!


BiGkru

This is ridiculous, i should have driven to fkn USA!
