$100 (i5) and $70 (i7) price drop from original post
Following on from the Ryzen deals, here are Intel i5 and i7 PCs that also qualify for the $150 Powered By MSI Gift Card promotion, bringing the effective prices down to $1348, $1548, $1578 and $1778 respectively.
You can claim a $150 eGift Card via redemption from MSI - instructions are on the MSI website, but once you receive your paper invoice along with your system, you can submit it to them along with the serial number (read off your GPU) to claim the gift card. We are a confirmed vendor. Note: Adding a liquid cooler to these builds does NOT entitle you to the $250 gift card, because we are not using MSI coolers.
The i5 comes in $150 cheaper than the R5-3600 variant due to pricing structures at the moment so a nice bonus for team blue with effectively identical performance, plus we can offer i7 variants for extra juice.
Use the coupon code associated with each product to apply the discount.

AMD Ryzen deals:
Build times: We have worked directly with MSI and their distributors who have confirmed the stock for these deals to come in throughout January, so the onus is on them as much as it is us to deliver on time. We are also expecting and prepared for a large number of orders for all of these systems, so the expected shipping times are from the middle of January onwards and therefore may exceed the regular estimated 14 business days. Our website states this, and you are acknowledging this by purchasing these deals.
Reminder for those awaiting BF/CM systems, we are back on deck in full production with BF/CM and 3080 [Pre-Order] card orders being prioritised.
Cheers
Luke
