On a tangentially related note: I think I underestimated the demand for Sandy Bridge i7s.
I put my CPU on eBay and it sold before I even began listing the motherboard (~30 seconds, I kid you not!). I got the motherboard up a few minutes later and began to list the memory - motherboard sold before posting (~5 minutes). Then I posted the memory and had an offer within the first minute... for half the price I asked, LOL! Some bartering failed to make a deal. A few minutes later another half-priced offer came in, and I countered with a minor reduction in price - no sale. Another five minutes and it sold at full price (which I reduced to $35/kit - both 8GB kits were purchased for $70).
I've decided to just put all that money into a Vega GPU, if it's reasonably priced. All of that plus the sale of the R9 Fury should make it a cheap move since I have room left in my computer upgrade budget as I ended up with the 1700X instead of the 1800X as intended (because I, wrongly, assumed CPUs would be harder to get than the motherboards...). That leaves me $500 for a GPU, which I didn't expect to upgrade.. but this Fury dumps a lot of heat into my case and blocks some airflow from my front and bottom intakes.
AMD getting all my money... better than the blue or green men getting it, I suppose.
