Thanks @microcenter for telling me I can't buy more than one open box AMD CPU in one month. I guess I'll tell the kid I was going to build for that he gets a crappy CPU because of your restarted rule. It's open box, why does it matter if I buy two or more CPUs.

Looking back at the GTX 1060 3GB, 1060 6GB, and 1660 6GB cards shows how long they lasted. A 6GB card is nearing its end. While 8GB is enough for 1080p gaming, more VRAM will improve performance and future-proof the system. #PCGaming #GraphicsCards
