As part of the 10% off sitewide sale is this deal on the Intel Core i5-11400 CPU, as well as two bundles with a motherboard. This deal beats Scorptec making it the lowest price yet for this CPU on OzBargain so far.
To make the deal even better free shipping has been applied to all 3 products. Discount applied at checkout.
Yes I think you're right as the previous deal was very popular. Unfortunately I wouldn't have enough room to put Aorus Pro in the title correctly.
I posted that deal, and bought it too, and the mobo died after two weeks, and it is on its way back to Shopping Express now. Just saying.
Unfortunately mobos have an incredible number of components, just need one resistor out of thousands to die and you have an oversized coaster. It can happen =(
$243.95 with shipping for me. Unless you're nearby and can pick up then it's not cheaper. SE will deliver nationwide for free ;)
good point - didn't realise their free shipping deal finished on weekend
It was $279 a few days ago so one would assume the price was lowered when the free shipping ended.
They also have the 10100F for $99pp which is the cheapest in a while

You can combine https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/662062 with https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185121271712?ssPageName=STRK%3AM…, so thats a total of 244+$100 = $344 with a way better motherboard that let's you use full capability of 11400.
Or you can use the $234 deal here and Aorus, which is way better than the MSI base model, better VRAM and 4K support for 11th gen processor.
Am I the only one not seeing the prices listed in the OP???
I'm seeing:

Thanks for that!
This is the deal that finally got me. Sorry my faithful 4790k, time to retire.
I have the same old trusty chip. I've been out of the hardware cycles for a while. Why are these chips better? Are the clocks faster? Or better for gaming?
I prob need to update soon, as I imagine ddr4 faster ram would be better for some games.
To be honest it's not going to make a huge difference in gaming (compared to a new GPU), but it has 2 extra cores, 4 extra threads and better IPC so should be noticeable. Also will support windows 11 if that's your thing.
However I'm treating it as a very affordable interim upgrade and an excuse to build an ITX system - before DDR5 and PCIE5 really get established. For $450 you can get a CPU/motherboard/16GB DDR4 that will be solid for another 2+ years while cutting edge technology matures and GPU prices hopefully chill out.
Cheers for advice, I seem to be in an out loop of the best times to upgrade.
I have 2060s paired with it the 4th series, and if I'm not going to squeeze out many more FP$ then I'm happy to wait.
good combo
Currently have an 1700x on a 450 board, would this be a significant upgrade or worth it to wait for the 5600x to drop. I'm starting to get bottleneck in some of the newer games
Genuine question (May be obvious), will this be better for games than my i7-4790k? I know some titles the faster ddr4 ram will give more FPS but will the performance be that* much more noticeable? Side by side.
I thought chips clock speeds pretty much topped out, now it's just tweaks? As you can tell I've not built a PC for some years, but thinking of upgrading soon.
Looks like a pretty value buy, but do double check against the recent AMD price drops.
The gigabyte board is definitely the better buy; better vrm and extra ram slots.
