Have you picked one up from that website? I’m thinking about buying one from there to do a build this week.

@jonathan B&H won't have them till next week at the earliest.

Nice!!!!! Can we expect other online retailers such as Newegg to also have them in stock!?!?!? =)

 

[Nightblade]

@jonathan Probably? Newegg doesn't post incoming stock before they have it though. You might be able to see a similar situation with amazon, but I wouldn't count on it.

I just talked to B&H over email yesterday. They said, we don’t have the motherboard in stock. I’m crossing my fingers it gets released soon! ;-;

It’s here boys, I just bought mine on newegg!!!!!

My plan though is to wait till March to build my new system. (tax return and a 3 pay check month)
So I'll see if zen+ is out by then to decide between ryzen and an 8700k.

It's out on Newegg Canada as well! Woo!

Just ordered mine from newegg. It said it was in stock. $139 + $3 shipping.

I'm gonna wait till there's a price drop in ram. No point in buying this until I can acquire 2 x 8 gb sticks of 3000+ mHz DDR4 ram for less than 150$.

I've heard prices are going to keep going up until summer or fall before they come back down. If that's true, ram may not be that cheap until this time next year.

 

[threestripevida]

Which one do people recommend to buy? There is a pretty big price difference for no difference that I can see? The only difference I spot on the product page on Newegg is the audio chipset.

I am waiting for review of this mobo. and price drop as well lol

 

[Choidebu]

Yeah pretty sure ram prices aren't going back down anytime soon...

Also the price is quite a bit lower than we all thought it would be. People were saying it was going to be $199 for the b350 version, with the x370 being even more. $139 is pretty cheap for an Asus ROG motherboard.

 

[Nightblade]

So I found someone selling some "barely" used ram of 2 sticks of 8 gb @ 3000 mHz on craigslist for $120. They're dated Dec 2016. So I may be getting this board sooner than I thought.

 

[jonathan]

I’m done waiting. Originally I was waiting for coffee lake to wait for the new budget boards. I got tired and jumped on to Ryzen to wait for this motherboard. I’m fed up with it, I want to build a pc!

Same here. I may wait for Ryzen 2, because i've heard it may come as early as next week, but otherwise i'm finishing this PC.

Welp, if you needed to order one, and haven't yet, you've missed your chance. Newegg is sold out and B&H is still not in stock.
