If we're talking about this one at $115

I haven't heard anything about a $10 discount. Even if you do get it, it's not much of a steal. Everything I've checked on Amazon looks like a worse deal than what we have here in the States; the final price ends up being higher.

We weren't even talking about the same motherboard; that isn't a gaming 3. You can find one for $253 at Neutrino, so if you hadn't snagged that discount, you actually would have paid more.

Personally, for that kind of money, I’d rather go with the Prime Plus ($253 over at Best Buy), but I haven't made up my mind yet. Besides, nobody is going to ship anything to me over the weekend anyway.

There is a gaming 3 available for 92 bucks plus shipping. This one was just slightly cheaper, though I didn't see much difference other than the fact that the discount is gone now.

It's $110 for 16GB of RAM (4x4), 2400 MHz. It’s currently out of stock.

I'm leaning toward the MSI Tomahawk, B350

At first glance, I don't see any difference besides the color between these two

Best Buy and Amazon have already kicked off their pre-Black Friday sales, so you might want to watch your back. I heard they had about 70 units of the ASUS Dual GTX 1050 3gb listed for $500 over at Amazon, but they were gone

Wait, there's actually a 1050 with 3GB? 🤔

EDIT: ah, you meant the 1060 3gb... looks like they still have 18 left...

Did anyone keep an eye on the prices during Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year?

I kept an eye on prices and picked up 😁 (around $110 for the MX300 525GB), though the 750GB version wasn't even much more expensive. After that, I grabbed a Logitech Z130 for about $50 with free shipping—not exactly a steal, but a decent enough find. You could also scroll back through this thread to

Then I picked up the Logitech Z130 for around $40. $50 It comes with free shipping, which isn't exactly a steal, but it's decent. Also, can you move this thread to those dates?

Did you pick up the MX on Amazon?

Yeah, I was looking at the Spanish site. That 750GB deal was actually on the UK Amazon, I think, but this 525GB one popped up on another European Amazon after I checked the Spanish listing—maybe the German one.

I'm gonna keep an eye out this year for some solid deals on a 500GB SSD and an EVGA SuperNOVA 🍿

ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1070 Ti$1279

I guess if you push the memory overclock a little, you can get about 95% of the performance you'd see from a GTX 1080.

Logitech MX Master and a 525GB SSD for $133 including shipping on Amazon.com.

Great. It isn't quite the steal it was last year ($110), but it’s still a solid deal. Now the real question is whether someone should grab it while they can, or if they want to play it safe, act cheap, and gamble on waiting for even lower prices during Black Friday or Cyber Monday Week. The risk is that by then, the price might not drop any further—or worse, it'll be completely sold out.

Now the real question is whether you grab it now or try to be cheap and gamble on waiting for Black Friday or Cyber Monday Week to see if prices drop even lower. But who knows? By then, it might just be gone.

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday and today. I decided to pull the trigger. I don't think it'll go under $120 once you factor in shipping.
Now I just need to snag a GPU from Amazon.com and a Corsair Airflow Series case from Micro Center, and I'm basically set.
Oh, and I still need to pick up some RAM.

Looks like Amazon.com doesn't have a separate Black Friday Week; instead, they're running Cyber Monday Week starting tomorrow through the 27th, which covers Black Friday too.

The only issue is that the German site won't accept my card.
