    Convince me to wait for the Z600 series... I can get a Z590NJB for 2680 with a 3 year express ship warranty. Good deal or should I wait? Let me know your thoughts?

    I decided not to wait. I expect the 6 series to come out soon and if it turns out to be a better deal, I'll eat the shipping and return it. However, what if the 6 comes out, it's not a better deal (or worse), and now you can't get the 5 anymore? I figure by getting the 5 now, w/ the discounts, I've got my bases covered. My 2 cents.

    is that a good competitive price for the Z. I was initially thinking about buying a stripped down version and then trying to upgrade it myself but then I realized i would end up voiding the warranty. If I just buy the Z590 then i will get a 3 year warranty and basically have a fully loaded deal that will last hopefully 3 to 4 years. Let me know if you guys think its a good deal 2680 for z590njb with 3 year warranty? Thanks for all of your hlep. Hope to be jioining your ranks soon.

    Not sure if your aware but right now if you get a 3 yr warranty and 2 accesories you get $300 off. If you get the 2 cheapest accesories (2 neoprene cases) they end up paying you like $70 to get the warranty.

    I got a 590 w/ 250 gb 7200 rpm HDD and Blu-Ray burner for about $2,100 after all the discounts.

    At least you can upgrade the RAM yourself. I'm not sure what else w/o voiding the warranty.
