An AMD FX-8320 and compatible motherboard. I've been getting an average of a bit over a spontaneous reset a day this month and far more than usual today, so it was time to make the call on replacing the mobo. All told it was $170+tax for an unlocked octo-core and well-reviewed mid-range mobo, so I can't complain.

 

Samsung Galaxy Prime Core



And a dentist appointment for a cleaning.

 

I think my oven was the original that came with the house, which was built in 1944, so I bought a new one:



10% cashback on the Discover card and $20 SYWR points sealed the deal. They also haul out the old one. It wasn't a top scoring model on Consumer Reports, but in the top third. I won't use it a ton, so I didn't need a top model and it'll be nice to get rid of the eyesore that was my old stove.

 

You have your dentist clean the phone for you? Wow.

 

Plextor M5Pro 512GB SSD for...ahhh, who cares.

Ew, Samsung.....gross. You'd be better off with a half rotten potato. If you were going for low end, the Moto E probably would have been a better choice.

That looks quite a bit like our stove, but ours is black and stainless steel. In the year that I've lived in my current house, the stove has worked quite well, but it's seriously a pain to keep it looking clean. The oven works pretty well too.

 

I've actually had excellent luck and service with Samsung devices. The only bad things I've had were from Asus and LG.

 

I had a good initial experience with my old Galaxy S III, but then Verizon released the OTA update for Jelly Bean, the phone became almost unusable, which resulted in me selling the phone and getting a Lumia 928.

 

Ah, well I've never used Verizon, but I'm not surprised about the carrier shenanigans.
