Microcenter AMD FX/Mobo Bundle

Microcenter AMD FX/Mobo Bundle

Feb 1, 2012 1:34 PM

Yes, this URL is the same as a prior deal, however this is a new special posted to the same page. Microcenter is offering bundle deals that're having me kicking myself since I just finished building an FX-based system (though I went with the 8150 in the end, which this doesn't appear to apply to). Anyway, their prices are already newegg.com-competitive, and this shaves a LOT more money off if you want a mid-range FX system.

The deal applies to:

$110 for FX 4100 with GA-78LMT-S2P or M5A78L-M LX PLUS

$140 for FX 6100 with GA-78LMT-S2P or M5A78L-M LX PLUS

$200 for FX 8120 with GA-970A-UD3 or M5A97 or 970 Extreme4
$230 for FX 8120 with 990FX Extreme3
$250 for FX 8120 with GA-990FXA-UD3 (I got that mobo and love it.) or Sabertooth.

Also, this looks like it applies to shipped orders as well as in-store, but please don't take my word on that as given.

aww, the CPUs are in store pickup only? :(

No stores located near me!

I just noticed I have one (at least) price wrong in my post... The Sabertooth combo price with the FX 8120 is $280.

@magicwuff: And that's apparently another goof on my part. :( Sorry about that.

The free motherboards suck, but I guess that's why they are free. Don't have usb 3 and at least the Gigabyte maxed out ram speed at 1333.

Edit: They are a little better for the $199 processor.

I don't want to take anything away from this deal because it really is a very good deal for anyone on a budget. I was thinking about this deal when I found this article on Tom's Hardware.

If you are looking to do some gaming on a budget it is a good read.

Now if only I could find a good deal on an i3-2100 without a MIR!

@thecheeseman: Personally, I would steer people more towards the non-free but heavily discounted motherboards at the upper end of the FX 8120 deal. The GA-990FXA-UD3 has sufficient modern bells and whistles to be a great deal at the $50 price-point that this results in.

@nyohan: As mind boggling as this may be, some people do still build systems for non gaming purposes. Personally, my recent build is largely for virtualization. (For things I do having the physical cores can work out better than hyperthreading on half as many.)

Anyone have any experience with ASRock? Im highly considering getting the FX 8120/970 Extreme4 combo. I was getting ready to buy some parts on new egg which included a FX 4100 and a MSI board and it was going to be the same price.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
