What?

Edit: Didn't see the prices :D

It's probably just some random seller trolling..

The second link seems ok though.

I don't like 2D games...I just couldn't get into them.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I guess this is where prebuilt companies get their prices for their $2000 "Super 1337 Gaming Build 9001" with a 5960x, R7 250 and 69GB of RAM

I'm a fucking AMD kawaii weeaboo desu I have seen the light

i5 6600k | EVGA 980 FTW | Z170A PC Mate | 1TB WD Blue | 240GB SSD Plus | NZXT S340 | EVGA 600b  | Dedotated 8GB

I literally replaced an r7 250 in a prebuilt with my old 6950 for a friend.

It's not just Amazon, many retailers have 0 concept what this stuff is worth or hike up prices because something gets phased out and becomes a "speciality item". About a year ago I bought a GTX 760 from Bestbuy for $200. Which in Canada, was actually a half decent deal. Now Bestbuy is selling that card in Canada for over $300. It makes no sense, but it's pretty common when it comes to PC parts.

It happens sometimes; the price of a part mysteriously gets set to like 5 times its actual value.  I've seen it on motherboards, controllers, TVs, ... everything really.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

seems legit

the best part of it is that it was a rebate to about 400$

 

do you think there were any people like: "oh man! 800$ CPU for 400$, that's a monster!" ?  please no :)
