48 hours of Prime day and all I bought was a $6 Q6600 from eBay. Up yours, consumerist culture.

    Stickin' it to Bezos almost as hard as his ex-wife's attorneys will.

    Haha I suppose, though the chances of him actually caring are...slim to none. Don't worry, I made up for it ?

    What'd you end up with? The SSDs and RAM were the hardest things for me to pass on, but I'm saving up my Amazon reward points for a 50% discount on a 2070 Super next month or a custom AIB 5700 XT if fixing the latter's thermal problems lets it match the Super.

    Haha, nothing too exciting. I bought 2 Amazon Basics tripods, 4 Amazon Basics light stands, a shipping scale, sandbag, and a softbox lighting kit.

    I'm super tempted to buy a 2TB SSD seeing the prices, but I really don't need one...I don't think I'd ever need more than 1TB tbh.

    The 2TB SSDs looked very tempting, but the one I spent the most time hovering on the "buy" button for was actually on Newegg. 16GB of DDR4-3000 and a 500GB Crucial MX500 SSD for $88. If you peg the value of the SSD at $40, which is the going rate for a 500GB 2.5" these days, that's $48 for 16GB of Crucial DDR4. It's more than likely just Hynix NAND and won't overclock like a champ, but if you can get it to 3200MHz at CL16, who cares?

    Damn that's not too bad. I'm definitely getting 32GB of RAM for my upcoming build though. And probably an R5 3600, so I'd really want to make sure there were no issues on that front. Damn cheap NAND, tempting me to buy buy buy. I need to save money for a car instead ?

    lol My main rig has 32GB in it right now and I'm still not entirely sure how. It's matching RAM, so I'm guessing I pulled 16GB from another rig that I ended up selling and just stuck it in Sabre rather than having it sit in a drawer?

    Hahaha, mystery RAM is the best kind of RAM ?
