I had a direct link savedI can't even find it anymore when searching their site...only the premade PCs which are out of stock.
Hmmm.
Does newegg normally do this when they are about to put them up for sale or preorder?
Tell my why you say that as I am now building a 4K rig
Because I plan on adding a 3rd 980Ti eventually. Even if I don't I like to leave my options open- with the Skylake I don't have that available. With the MSI SLI X99 motherboards I can add a 3rd Nvidia board even with a 5820k.
When the price drops on the 980Ti I'll probably add a 3rd.

I don't remember them having this on the page either.
"This item can only be purchased with a combo"
Yeah WTF.
If it stays this way this totally screws ppl who already bought a board and RAM. They know it'll sell out right away and looks like they're trying to max their profits.
That or Egg ordered a buttload of boards they now think won't sell well and the solution is to bundle them. If people bought boards from Egg they are going to be flooded with returns. Then again they could decide to be dicks about such returns and add restocking fees etc. Another route would be selling the bundled board, I can imagine the FS/Trade forum would be busy.
I don't know what Intel was thinking covering the world with CPUs except for North America. Maybe they wanted to build the anticipation, but they should already know the first wave will be sold out in no time. Intel's dangling a steak and the lion is damn hungry.
In the latest PCper podcast, Ryan says he was told a very large oem purchased around 1 Million units for internal testing (did not name who but I suspect Apple) and that, is the reason why there is such a large defecate on seeing these in the wild.

Right around the 1:48 second mark
Missed it =(
I called customer service and explained that I already bought an entire system worth of parts from them (minus CPU) last week. She pushed through an order for me over the phone CPU only. She said she got it in before it went out of stock, but I guess we'll have to see if it ships. Phone ordering is SOOO slow compared to online, especially when they have to talk to managers.
Their site says it's back in stock but "not available" on top of the page.
You guys might want to keep trying?
This is bs that I can't buy it with a Asus max gene matx board. Seriously newegg
So....MSI Gaming M7 vs. Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero?
Flip a coin?
Super happy. Since one of the combos was for the board I already ordered they issued an RMA for the first board with no restock and prepaid shipping labels. CPU ordered
So....MSI Gaming M7 vs. Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero?
Flip a coin?
I went with the M7 for the dual M.2 and reinforced PCIe slots. A second front USB 3 header was a nice bonus as well.
I'm running SLI so I probably wouldn't even be able to use dual M.2. Both my cards are MSI too, so at least it would look nice. Is the MSI one killer NIC only?
