@Johnno23, you could be a bit kinder when addressing people about these types of issues. Regardless, I looked into it and the seller that sold the CPU was listed as "Fall Sweatshirt Store" and upon visiting their seller page it has 3 reviews about unrelated products. I checked the business name associated with the product and their Business name is yunnanaangmingdianzishangwuyouxiangongsi which of course sounds like a fake company name. A lot of signs point towards this CPU not being real and probably a fake or some other way I can get scammed. I think I might just immediately turn around and return whatever shows up in the mail and purchase a real one now. It's sad that this has to be the scenario. It was a good deal, not a crazy one, but a good one and I didn't bother to check the seller until after they had shipped the product.

This post is to discuss my concerns with my new CPU being shipped from CHINA and for you all to provide me insight on the new build that I purchased. All my parts were ordered through Amazon for convenience's sake. However, as the title says, the CPU came from some no-name 3rd party China seller and is being shipped via China Post. It is brand new and was purchased at a great deal of $325, but my concerns are that either it is going to be a fake CPU or that it will come damaged. I am also nervous about any warranties associated. I am going to inspect the factory seals as well as run check the BIOS and run CPU-Z to validate the CPU reports back as a real Ryzen 9 7900x. Should I reject the CPU if the seals are broken or the box appears to be beaten up in any way? Is there anything else I can do to validate it or calm my nerves about it? Secondly, please provide me some insight into my newest build and what I can expect to make this generational jump. I know that the GPU is being carried over, but can I still expect to see good performance gains?

Hey guys, First time poster here, but I need help. I have been looking on the web for a personal finance program and I have read bad things on just about everything I find. I know a lot of people say Quicken right off the bat, but I heard they switched to a subscription based program. There are those free apps like Mint and Acorns, but I hear they have issues syncing to bank accounts and it can turn into a huge inaccurate mess. I heard that YNAB got worse since and their support is bad. I just need something that either syncs very well with Union bank or that I can upload the bank files too or that is easy to use and I can manually enter everything. Any suggestions?
