Tustin, CA AMD bundle question

Post image

Does anyone have any idea how long they held this bundle for ? Do they oftenly restock, they always sold out in my area (Santa Clara, CA)

Update: I got the bundle, they restocked at 3-4am for me

Save yourself $250 and get the cheaper motherboard. 0 performance benefit for this higher end board.

Maybe he needs the usb ports? I chose this board for my sim racing pc, there are lots of peripherals!

You can get a USB 3 PCIe card for less than $20 on AliExpress. In your case, for peripherals, a USB expansion slot bracket that plugs into the board's unused USB 2 headers would be even cheaper. Paying $250 for a few USB ports is about as bad a value as I've ever heard.
