    TDAmeritrade No Longer Deals with South Africa

    New Build

    11th Gen CPUs are not supported by H410 nor B460. One can find B560M boards for about 2k. There are A520M-K boards being sold on Carbonite for R700 that support Zen 2 out of box. That could be the cheapish entry point if OP is willing to also go 2nd hand on a 3600.

    To risk the purchase of the LG UltraGear 32GN600 from Evetech?

    I see Wootware states 3 year warranty while other shops, including Evetech, mentions 2 years. At 8k one could consider the Dell S3220DGF of which Wootware is expecting stock. If curve is your thing.

    MTN Black Friday Discussions

    On the MTN app home page, top left there is a drop down where you can select the numbers that are linked. I have 3 numbers and it seems like 2 numbers are linked to my first number I ever got from Mtn i.e. my main number. So if I log in with my main number I can select the main number and 2...
