Decided on 3700x, the 3900x is way overkill just for R20 cinebench. Will only be fun for 5min.

Suppliers are actually open so bought it directly from distro for R6200, not sure why wootware has to charge R7600, as price hardly went up at the supplier and they have stock.

Cause wootware are greedy, look at their other pricing it jumps everyday and it can't be blamed on stock coming in, you price your stock on a ROE which was based on the time you got it in, not on the current ROE.

Do you need to be a dealer to work with Corex? I no longer want to support Wootware

I've got a gtx1070 windforce oc lying around, happy to save some bucks but won't this be limiting factor? I'm mainly building something for cyberpunk.

Not badly priced actually. The 1tb nvme is really good at that price. Even freaking takealot is now madly priced on SSDs. 500gb going for R1700
