They have some different deals each day from what I understand but yeah, its mostly gadgets and electronics. Solid deals on their kindle paperwhite e-readers. Which may not interest anyone but me.
Apple watch and airpods on a good sale.

Piecing together a computer build right now and I'm kicking myself for missing out on the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD they had on sale the other day for like $81. The week before I ordered a 1 TB SATA SSD and they lost it in the mail for $86 just for a reference on how good that NVMe deal was. It was a lightning deal and sold out in 10 minutes. [Reply]

I've pretty much just crossed off Samsung drives from my list. They are good drives but the premium they slap on them for all of the added marketing just isn't worth it to me.
That 660p deal could be ok but you can get TLC drives for that price.
That HP EX950 looks solid on paper but I have PTSD from past HP experiences and 2 TB is more $$ than I want to spend on something thats going to amount to maybe a couple millisecond differences in what I'll be using it for. Even a SATA drive is more speed than I will ever need.
I'm really just hoping the 500GB ADATA drive drops down below $50 somewhere on a flash sale and pair it with a 1TB Vulcan/MX500/SU800 SATA drive. The Vulcan drive is what Amazon lost in shipping that I bought on sale which I'm kind of salty about. [Reply]

Shouldn't be too hard to find with a little patience. I havent even got the motherboard in the mail yet so still plenty of time. Going to be my first AMD build so hopefully its not a terrible experience.
What I'm working with so far. GPU and case are being recycled from my current build. Just need the storage and probably going to upgrade the CPU cooler with something. That motherboard is completely overkill but I'm planning on in a couple years since AM4 is only guaranteed through 2020 that I'm going to upgrade to a top of the line Ryzen 4000 when they are clearing out stock for AM4+ or w/e they will call the next socket.

Looks good.
I'd like to hear how your build goes. I've done two with AMD GPU's but never used anything but Intel cpu. [Reply]

Ya I'm a little anxious about it lol.
The last thing I bought that was AMD I wouldn't even be able to tell you what the fuck it was. I was real young and bought a graphics card off the shelf at a Circuit City and based my choice on the larger number on the box. I had no clue what the fuck I was looking at but I needed something to throw in a Dell premade computer so it could play games other than minesweeper. This was like early 2000's playing Call of Duty 1 and running a paper route. [Reply]
BB is doing a lot of BF items now if you're a douche with elite status like me.

If you have a Microcenter near by, go there instead of Amazon. [Reply]
