AMD Dragon platform bundle on sale

$111 worth of discounts, plus a few MIRs

Many manufacturers teamed up to offer customers a mega bundle deal on an AMD Dragon Platform computer, available on Newegg.com. It comprises eight, yes eight components. In other words, what you get is a complete PC. The only thing left to do is build it.

 

This computer sets you at a not too shabby $679.88 after MIRs, or $719.88 without. Moreover, you get free shipping on this large package. Buying each part separately would cost you $831.81 and most probably a somewhat steep shipping cost.

With the already awesome price/performance ratio of the dragon platform, this deal just make it even more attracting. Don't miss out on it!

    Not everyone has the money to go i7... I calculated that if you take the exact same components but just replace the CPU by a 920, the motherboard by the CHEAPÊST x58 one and the RAM by the CHEAPEST 3x1GB, you're set at $992.81. On that you don't even have 4GB...

    In Gaming, the i7 920 has shown to be not that good of a performer because of its slow clock. When reviewing the Phenom II X4 940, William showed that these CPUs tied in gaming. If gaming is what matters to you, you'd be better off to grab a Phenom II if you don't want to empty you wallet...

    Want to pay a bit more to get more performance? Replace the X4 945 by the 965 and you have a rig that just pwns that i7-920 in gaming, for approximately 20% cheaper.
