AMD Deals & Offers

From ebuyer: As per our terms and conditions and in line with the Sale of Goods Act 1979, as this item is over 6 months old you will only qualify for a proportionate refund of the original purchase price. Therefore we are unable to issue a replacement as initially requested. If you send it back in 20 months time you won't get a full refund if faulty, unlike amazon.

Got it from Laptops Direct sadly.

£100 too much

Go for the 1070Ti it should have a better cooler.

If you got it from Amazon then return it to Amazon (use their Chat function to talk to a rep, don't bother trying to get a fault repaired). Gigabyte should have 2 years but obviously they will do whatever they can to save money and fob you off. This is why I always buy graphics cards from Amazon.

Just went to buy one and the code expired, dead on midnight, before i could complete the purchase. Have to wait for a new one!

Cheers. Only the first one

Which version. It should run it fine, but you will need to adjust video quality settings in-game to get the best balance of quality and framerate.

Tempted by this. Would this be able to run Total War Warhammer?

No problemo.

Only at the electrical clearance store in Manchester.

What in every store?

So really the deal is there are bargains to be had at a Currys clearance store...

I showed them a receipt which I have attached my own as proof. Someone added a post few days ago for £419 so the price mist have dropped.

sooo... how do we get this deal? we just say my friend got a discount.. can i get one? Doesn't sound very plausible

Thanks my dude! :)

There is a few place I tend to use, but if you just want to do a quick build and price compare you can use PC Part Picker, that will allow you to specify a system and also help you ensure you get compatible parts for the most part.

Awesome find! Where'd you find the parts for the price?

This isn’t the best fresh tech offer. I had my computer from them, but from their ebay page when quidco did 10% off ebay. Ryzen 7 2700x processor, 1050 2gb graphics, X470 motherboard, 8gb 3000 ram, 120gb SSD, original price was 750 so paid 675 when taking into account cashback. Great service, arrived quickly, great bit of kit as long as you don’t mind doing a few little upgrades. I’ve added a 2TB hard drive in mine, will add another 8GB ram and upgrade the graphics card.

I ordered from these guys about 5 years ago, they sold me an i5 3570k but installed a non k version. They ignored all my emails and calls and weren't interested at all after they received the money.

No I got it behind the counter. I showed them your Recipt and asked for the same discount but they only gave me 20% off and not 30%. The laptops in actions went too high and some over the rrp which is a bit daft.

I discovered they have actions on Wednesday and Saturday. Could it have been cheaper because it’s auction day?

I’m also clueless but as I’m a student I used my student email to get free office 365. It’s got norton antivirus. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s trial version or not.

Can I ask what else I need with this laptop? I.e. Microsoft office and anti-virus? Should I download an anti-virus or buy a hard disc? Sorry I'm not a computer guy.

Yes thanks to you, I think it's come down even more now but if you notice mine shows 20% discount whereas yours showed 30%. They said that was a mistake and should not have been 30%.

I can see what you're getting at, but still 25% is a large increase in performance, ryzen definitely are good value for money and I would have a 2600 in my PC all day long. But that extra 25% performance increase between this and an I7 is a significant amount. I feel like as you try to increase cpu speed past the point of ryzen the cost in doing so escalates for each percentage increase, hence why prices are high for good intel chips and hence why AMD to compete have turned partly to beating intel on core count. Your comparison above is a valid point though (y)

I think these benchmarks would more appropriate http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-7700-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1400/3887vs3922

Check out benchmarks for an atom processor vs an i5 processor. Not sure what you've been smoking.

I have the chance to buy a 6 month old gtx 1060 3gb for £130 so might just take that then, thanks :)

Definitely the 760.

Anything like this spec wise, ram and SSD etc but with a better battery life? My nephew needs one for school and also to last a few years to take him through College with any luck. Thanks

yes this ones better

WOW!!!, and for essentially the exact same money as well?. Not bad ... So the OP's Deal is clearly more superior by the look's of it?. :-)

https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/yoga/500-series/Lenovo-YOGA-510-14AST/p/88YG5000684 Your both wecome. :-)

That's the ryzen 5, so not the same

But this card will let you game at 1080p for £110 less. You have to factor that in.

When the EVGA 1070ti is being sold for £359 with 3 year transferrable warranty, I wouldn't pay more than £170 for this much slower card with inferior warranty.

Looking to upgrade my gpu, currently using an old 7950. A friend has offered me an evga 1070ti sc for £300. Would it be worth spending and extra £50 over getting this?

Link?

i have this card. bought for 290 13 months ago. really good for 1080p and has a pentragram on the backplate which is pretty metal 🤙🔥

my dilemma is...worth the upgrade from a 2gb GTX 670? my 670 is terrible in PUBG but for most of the other stuff is sort of ok - it copes....

i read somewhere that the games will only work on a certain set of radeon cards - so can sell but limited market

ordered. someone should probably repost this.. so it gets back into the top list of deals for visibility.. there'd be lots of interested people after the Scan deal has ended

how much can you sell the games for? or is it nit possible to sell? after a graphics card, don't care for the games.

This has gone down to £159.98

Sorry not the same

Hi found the same laptop but for £550 https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8625982

The new 8th Gen intel CPU's are really good and the one at Argos is the new model.

And the amd vs Intel

For me there's not much in it apart from £40.

I had put more ram in it too. The cpu was constantly running at 100% making it unusable.

also done fresh install and got rid of acer bloat ware runs better but what can you expect for £123

I bought one as well your right pretty slow I added another 4gb of ram and its helped

Bought this acer laptop. Total crap. Takes 15 seconds to load a Web page. Being returned for a refund as not fit for purpose. Do NOT waste your money on one of these.

Any more deals like this £122 laptop.

I see, Thanks for the info. What I meant about the motherboard was people had issues when they bought the 2nd Gen Ryzen and realised it didn't work because their motherboard requires a BIOS Update. And updating requires the previous 1st Gen CPU. AMD provided the boot kit solution later on though. But of course, this would have been a hassle back then right? Overall I'm all for compatibility, unlike Intel motherboards. but thing is, I won't be upgrading until 3-5+ years which means it doesn't really affect me that much. Thanks again though. Thanks for clarifying. Well then W3680 it is! Now to wait for a 1080ti on sale for ~£500

This deal doesn't seem to be available anymore, however the 2600 is now on offer at eBuyer! £149.98 inc free delivery (Same price as Amazon Prime, but actually in stock :)) https://www.ebuyer.com/830816-amd-ryzen-5-2600-am4-processor-with-wraith-stealth-cooler-yd2600bbafbox Just picked one up, I'd recently switched to a Ryzen 2200G but that will go on eBay now :-)

The W3690 is only a tiny bit faster than the W3680 but costs nearly 50% more so probably not worth the extra. 24GB is 24576MB (1024MB is 1GB)

Silicone lottery applies to any CPU regardless of manufacturer. Also motherboard compatibility isn’t really something that needs ‘fixed’. The latest intel CPUs only work with 1 generation of motherboard. The AM4 AMD CPU platform is compatibility with last gen, current gen and apparently the next 2. All that’s needed is a Bios update. To me that isn’t broken, it’s a fantastic selling point. Though more so for 1st Gen owners. All you do is make sure you buy an updated B350 or X370 or make sure you buy a B450/X470 board. No different from if you bought Intel.

My motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R (rev 1.0) Seems to be compatible with up to the Intel Xeon W3690 CPU but not with the X series which is a shame. ;( https://www.gigabyte.comrev-10#support-cpu A quick search and aliexpress have it for around £53. As well as W3680 for around £37. Higher clock is better you say right? Though, I researched and someone said that W3680 only utilizes up to 24gb RAM. A quick 'dxdiag' and my RAM is a little over that (24576MB). would this cause an issue?

No need for the apology mate it's a perfectly valid reason :) lots of people care about their temps (especially in smaller cases etc)

I think it's a great find, and I apologise for the cold but I simply wouldn't touch it! Thanks

sorry you feel this way. It's still a good deal considering you can't get another 8GB version for the same price. As long as you can keep the airflow in your rig pretty cool then this should be fine. Or you could replace the stock thermal paste for cheap. :)

Cold, only because it's the worst RX 580 in existence - the armour cards are by far the cheapest with the worst cooling.

Lol thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking of setting up an ML machine using a decent graphics card.
