I paid $200 on a set a couple weeks before your one with similar specs but better voltage which was right around the 9800x3d launch. My motherboard was like $300 too for an x870. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 9 months ago* You might have gotten the better deal. I was tight on money, so I got a $200 B650 board. I was worried about the ASRock voltage issues, but no problems so far. That said, even the $190 that my kit was at full price is ridiculously better than $250 for half the capacity and lower speeds. permalink fedilink source parent
