AMD Deals & Offers

FYI It’s not very easy to sell the included games if that’s what anyone is looking to do. They are linked to the card you buy and you have to verify the codes in your AMD account. I would do some research first if you’re buying this with the intention of selling off the included games

Don't you get them from AMD?

I've been waiting nearly a month for the game codes from ebuyer think they've sent them by slow post (lol)

powercolor awful make and when something goes wrong the turn around on repairs/refunds are shocking..

I haven't used them in years, but my previous experience was fantastic. Then again that was about 7 years ago :/

Would this be a worthwhile upgrade from a 750 ti? Wanting to improve fps on Ark/World of thunder-getting @ 30 dropping down to low 20's. Thanks Heat OP

considering the choice of games, it really is a great deal if you was going to buy those games, Ubisoft games tend to hold their price for sometime, so you could say The Division 2 is worth £30 and the Res evil or DMC is worth a further £20ish not bad.

wow these prices of GPU's dropping fast the Bitcoin bubble has popped

Considering 8GB cards were £149 recently these should be cheaper. Still the cheapest now however so a good deal.

Agree re Ryzan but most reviewers complain about the HP's 'plasticky' build, whereas the Medion is built like a Golf :D .

Not really Ryzen has superior integrated graphics and a HP has more quality than a Medion build screen is better in the medion granted, ssd are very cheap atm and an easy upgrade

At the moment you would be better off with this https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/medion-akoya-s3409-133-ssd-laptop-intel-core-i3-4gb-ram-256gb-ssd-win-10-32999-laptop-outlet-3131689 Similar specs, but wiyh a cracking full HD screen and cheaper. Not sure if the RAM is upgradeable on either, but it's probably the best out there for the money....at the moment!

One other thing is this likely has only one stick of 4GB DDR4. Running in single-channel mode on an APU really hurts performance on this - so factor in another £25-7 quid for an extra stick of RAM. Note CEX are very cheap for 4GB sodimms and offer guarantees. I've made budget builds with it many times and never had an issue

The Ryzen 5 was going for £399 2 weeks ago from AO ebay with code. 8GB Ram and 256SSD. I would wait for anothe code and get that instead

Did you vote cold?

1700 for only £14 more hotukdeals.com/deals/amd-ryzen-7-1700-8-core-am4-cpuprocessor-with-wraith-spire-95w-cooler-14394-aria-pc-3134929 Edit: And with cooler

Good price for an adequate CPU!

Do some searching about lower tier Ryzen, the last gen Ryzen 7’s are incredible for video encoding at a very decent price

Thanks, I've had SSD since SATA2 days but fancy something that can demolish anything, mostly video encoding but at the moment I've got a i7 7500, 16GB, 512pcie storage. Nippy but nothing like a custom desk build.

Not surprised this is going hot considering how high the temps are.

i could build you a fast pc for under £400. if you havent experienced WIN10 and an SSD combo it will blow your mind how fast a budget pc can be these days. you dont need to spend that much money.

You may want to look at Linus’s most recent video!

Looks pretty close to my RX480 card...heat!

me! sarcastic, how dare you sir, i was only praising your much valued opinion, i don't know you try to be nice......

Nope, "Alternative".

I didn't vote cold, I merely pointed out the cost for the next gfx bracket. It's called information, use it as you fit... as a constructive info on deciding if you want to buy this or being sarcastic with no added value.

i`m so glad you pointed out that trend of spending more money gets you a better GFX card, for most people it flies straight over their head. . . . :|

Amazon

Where?

I kind of agree on that. I need for a test Hadoop environment and Hadoop processes are bit extensive. I would take to run the Hadoop vm smoothly on its own need atleast 8gb. Anyway I found a bundle of Ryzen 1600 with mboard and 16gb ram in £289. I’m going for it Thanks for all your input guys

8GB for a host and two VM's? I struggle with 8GB on a HTPC :D

In most cases you'd need nowhere near 32GB of RAM for TWO VMs. 8GB or 16 if you want to have more leeway is fine. Also this processor can run 2VMs easily. Should be able to handle 5 or 6, without slipping up.

I meant it’s not terrible but yes, you are right.

Not a great price, I picked up a new one of these for £155 a couple of weeks ago with an eBay discount.code.

Its not a good price for one either, plenty about at £170ish recently

Mining Edition (lol) . Good luck selling those in this climate, MI cards have short warranty too from what I know. These cards also have terrible fans. Shame as not a bad price for 8GB RX 580...

Yeah, great find OP. I've done quite a bit of research with the help of tech YouTubers and due to the good VRM, top quality audio solution and Intel networking, this is the best 2nd gen AM4 board under £150, even beating the X470 boards up to the same price point in terms of quality.

If it makes you feel any better OP i did the same. got the tomahawk because this was sold out everywhere. ah well. good find and good deal.

I'd never buy a MSI mobo again. The Mystic Light program is the biggest pile of poop on the planet... However this is a good deal so have some 🔥

What type of RAM frequencies does it support up to without OC?

I would imagine so AMD stated that the AM4 socket will be good for at least 3 generations, so whether that meant Zen 1.5 as a generation or Zen 2 will be Gen 2? it still means it shoudl cover the 3000 series.

What other platform can I play in 4K at 120hz with HDR and a variable refrsh rate?

4k gaming on PC why?

Maybe everyone's just having a bad day!

This really should be piping hot at that price. I got the Gigabyte Windforce 2080Ti for £1100 when they came out and there's simply no other GPU like it for 4K gaming.

Looks fantastic I just saw it. The last outing (1080ti) the Aorus was hideous lol

Where from Mike?

Flamedeer, just click report already posted

were from.

Can you tell me if that would play call of duty? Ive been Looking at the Ryzen jobbies. But that's the only games I would want to play.

Except this one at +61 and the same one i posted at -20, the cheaper price is cold, go figure. Agree on ryzen as i just bought an 15.6" HP laptop rizen 3 with ssd for £329

They trade blows with the 1080. The vega 56 is the equivalent to the 1070. The consume more power but you wont exactly notice a jump in electricity bills.

Cheers for correcting me. I'd still buy the sapphire and a Bykski if I wanted water cooling.

A bit above my paygrade, do me a favour (lol) There is a water block for the Sapphire, which has a proper stock cooler, so you can have a proper stock cooler and add liquid cooling later if you like. However yet again you’ve assumed that people who don’t want liquid cooling are somehow poorer or inferior to those who do. So it’s really not worth my while arguing with you. Just buy what you want (y)

Because the Gigabyte cards available at the moment don't have full block covers for them either?! Why would you take offense and misrepresent a simple open ended statement? Water cooling a bit above your paygrade is it? And I'll repeat myself shall I? "Why would you advocate buying a GPU with a known bad stock cooler?" "the Strix (ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING) has a full block water cooler available for it, were as the Sapphire (11275-03-40G ) does not"

What a massive and ridiculous assumption... I know tons of people who spend this much on a GPU and don’t want to watercool it, myself included. Why would you advocate buying a GPU with a known bad stock cooler? Google ‘ASUS Vega strix vrm throttling’.

Cold, get the A9 with an SSD for less than a tenner more at laptops direct.

I would expect lag but would have replaced the 1TB which I believe is a 5400rpm for an SSD and obviously reinstall meaning no HP rubbish stuck on it. Have had a fair few of these in for repair (non-hardware or physical damage rather than mechanical so to speak) and they've been fine after the above changes. But yes not the quickest of laptops - this time round I was after it for a friend who needs it literally for excel work

Looks the same to me :/ https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-14-bw020na-laptop-14-amd-a6-8gb-1tb-hdd-190-with-code-tesco-ebay-outlet-3123591? Even at £190 people were returning due to lag and other issues.

It wasn't

Shame this is still quite high - couple of weeks ago this was down to £190

I bought this cpu a few days ago, recieved it today in good condtion, even better it came with a pack of haribos.

I tried to convince my Daughter to go for a desktop instead of a laptop, but she wasn't having any of it.

Should have built a PC (popcorn) (lol)

Bitcoin has massively massively crashed this year. In fact the whole of the crypto market has heavily crashed. So many millionaires could have been wiped out this year if they held on.

Good deal :)

Me too, they're good

Thanks that's quite reassuring

You'll be fine, I've purchased items from them in the past without any issues.

I'm not sure how legit aria pc is, but I took the risk and got a Ryzen 7 1700 for £152 incl delivery, it should arrive tomorrow although a little skeptical because I had never heard of aria pc before.

Geart Price! Get it!

I wouldn't spend £300 on an old A6 powered desktop. The newer AMD Ryzen CPU is far superior, so if you are ready to invest in a new desktop for the next few years, it's worth spending a little more and avoiding old, unimpressive CPU tech.

Maybe I should have gone that route. Time will tell :)

Off the shelf is always easier, I suppose. I'm just too mean to not do everything myself - even if it takes longer and has more risk. At least I learn something along the way!

Thanks, too late and it has arrived. Really pleased with the Lenovo laptop recently bought. Understand what you say but the cases out there look cheap? Unless you go crazy. This is a homework machine for my son and wanted something reliable.

As others have said - Lenovo is no real sign of build quality. The quality comes from the components that you use. You're always better self-building if you want quality and the ability to upgrade. Often companies such as Lenovo and in particular Dell, have either custom parts, fittings or firmware that make upgrading either difficult or annoying. There are only about 7-8 parts that go into a computer and it's as easy as lego to put these together. Case PSU Motherboard CPU (or APU) RAM Storage (SSD and/or HDD) Operating System Youtube can show you everything that you need to know. If you're after something super-cheap and new I'd recommend something like an Athlon 200ge APU - it has over 2x the performance of this CPU and is actually good enough to do some low-end modern gaming @ 720p - so things like Fortnight are possible. You can put together one of those for more than £60 less than this - plus it's easy to upgrade to a better CPU later on so long as you buy a decent 500W PSU up-front.
