<div dir="ltr">Microcenter also price match. I actually used the barcode scanner on my phone while I was in the store buying parts for my last build and found that Newegg had some items priced lower. The microcenter staff was nice enough to print out the price for me. I took it to the register and saved about $100 overall.</div>

<br>Just a quick note before I get to bed way too late. I've been doing <br>lots of research lately on purchasing computer parts, mainly gpu's and <br>cpu's. I've found that Micro Center often has prices that are cheaper <br>
