Deals, Discounts, and Best PC Component Buys & Builds

Adam Moore3 said:This Dell is an absolute steal. $400 for a 31" 1440p 75Hz monitor with Freesyncom. 🙏

Yeah, calling it a "steal" is pretty accurate.

User reviews seem decent enough for this thing. Best Buy runs sales on it all the time, but this current one is probably the best price I've seen yet.

I think there might be some kind of flaw with the image quality—I can’t quite recall the specifics—but honestly, it isn't anything major enough to complain about given this budget. Once you start looking at high-end monitors with ultra-fast refresh rates, you realize they all have their own little quirks too.

Gaming Week is happening over at Amazon.com

For instance, you can snag a Samsung evo 850 500 for $91

Patriot Burst 480GB SSD - $195

OP. I mean, some older Patriot SSD models were known to have reliability issues and would just die on you.

haha, yeah, here we go again with the whole "spark," "burst," and "blast" naming scheme for 😵

But at that price point... Honestly, I don't think there's such a thing as a "good" or "bad" product—it really just comes down to whether you got a killer deal or not. A buddy of mine actually scored a second unit through a warranty replacement, and it’s still running perfectly 😁

AData SX8200 NVMe SSD 240GB - $173

It’s a bit faster than the 860 EVO (though I guess you might not even notice), plus there's a 5-year warranty... I'm thinking about moving my Steam library over to my current one and using this as a boot drive.

The IPS version of the Dell 32" QHD monitor finally arrived:

Dell Q3279vWFD8 - from $565

"Tax-free" pricing at Best Buy. You can grab an Asus Strix Radeon RX570 OC 4GB for just $411 if you use the code SKOLA18

Click here. The only real downside to this whole deal is the one-year warranty click. If they offered the standard 3-year coverage, I probably would have pulled the trigger immediately.

Otherwise, the exact same card on Amazon.com ends up costing about $215 once you factor in our local sales tax and shipping. I think they offer a 2-year warranty there, right? It isn't clearly listed on the product page.

Doesn't exist. One-year warranty. That's it.

Yeah, it exists, but it’s just a commercial one—it could be any length they want.
Under US law, you get at least a two-year warranty on consumer goods from the retailer—so if you buy it through Best Buy, they're on the hook for that.

Is Supernet just another retail chain based out of Canada?

It should be our go-to shop, and honestly, it’s pretty solid

Timothy Kim60 said:It should be our go-to shop. It's fine.

Ours are perfectly fine.

I've picked up various components from them a few times, and once I even grabbed some kitchen gear.
They don't actually have a retail storefront. If you're picking up your order yourself, you basically head over to their office in Manhattan and they just lug the stuff out from the warehouse. It’s a bit weird, honestly, but they're professional enough and everything goes smoothly.

I reckon most of them just make their move through direct shipping and B2B deals.

You should probably hold off for a little while longer; you'll likely see some deep discounts on Polaris by the time Black Friday or the Christmas holidays roll around.
