Included is a 1 year parts warranty, and 3 years service/technical support. I'll probably opt to add in some shipping coverage, and maybe buy a surge protector (lots of storms around here, causes unstable power a couple times per year). Is this a good price, is there anything in that list that's a red flag? Cheap gunk, overpaying, or even just way overpowered for our needs? |
I'd get a 1600 instead of a 1600X cause it comes with a pretty good stock cooler which can handle a certain amount of overclocking without giving you shit termals. I am sure you can find proof if you google/youtube it. And then obviously don't bother with the liquid cooler since you would be using the stock cooler.
With the money you save, I'd try to get a 1070 instead.
Difference is rape worthy and that's compared to the 8gb 580, not the 4gb:
