Hardware Sales - 16GB 1866MHz for $63, HD518 for $50, & 1000W PSU
By Patrick Lathan
Sadly, MSI's dual-platform motherboards and Corsair's RGB LED monitors were short-lived April Fool's jokes. Forever forgotten to time, never to be realized. Still, there's some real hardware for sale this weekend: An 80 Plus Platinum PSU, HD518 headphones, DDR3 RAM on the cheap, and an Intel CPU.
Hardware Sales: $690 980 Ti Hybrid, $100 480GB SSD, & $30 Mouse
By Patrick Lathan
This weekend's hardware sales feature a high-end GPU – the 980 Ti Hybrid – and mid-range motherboard, with a spot of flavor from SanDisk's 480GB Ultra II. The Corsair KATAR gaming mouse rounds-out the pack of this weekend's gaming hardware sales. See below.
Hardware Sales – Raven mITX Case, Platinum PSU, & AMD X4 845
By Steve Burke
Hours from our flight to this week's GDC in San Francisco, a few worthy deals sprung forth for the weekend's regular sales round-up. AMD's Athlon X4 845 is among the best-performing low-end CPUs presently available – and is now, finally, available – and it's joined by SilverStone's Raven RVZ02B case. Wrapping things up, a Platinum-rated Be Quiet! PSU has hit the $130 mark, down from its usual $150.
Hardware Sales – 128GB M.2 SSD for $45, 700W PSU for $40, $310 R9 390
By Steve Burke
Leading into GDC weekend – not that the show has any impact on hardware – we've spotted sales for a Sandisk M.2 SSD, 700W EVGA PSU, and R9 390 (with AMD's new bundle). We've also recently had a few reader email questions about “when will prices drop in the face of Pascal & Polaris?” Just to quickly address that, historically, prices of current-gen GPUs do not generally update until the official, final announcement of the new cards.
That stated, here are the sales:
Hardware Sales - $305 GTX 970, $30 8GB DDR4, $170 500GB SSD
By Steve Burke
Hardware sales for the weekend have picked-up some steam, with Newegg showing at the forefront a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 1x8GB DDR4 for $30 after a code, and a GTX 970 for $305 – not far from the old cost of a 4GB GTX 960 (now $200). We've also been distantly tracking Z97 board prices and have seen some marginal dips, but nothing major yet; we'd expect an eventual tipping point where retailers begin purging stock as Skylake continues to seep into the market.
Hardware Sales – $128 480GB SSD, $35 8GB RAM, 12-inch Subwoofer
By Steve BurkeMemory's been hot lately. GDDR5X should soon arrive in GPUs, courtesy of memory fabricator Micron, and HBM2 is impending deployment on AMD and nVidia GPUs. In the meantime, the more 'boring' side of memory – Flash and DRAM – is experience major price swings that benefit system builders. This weekend, we spotted a 480GB SSD for $128, a single stick of DDR4 8GB HyperX RAM for $35, and a non-memory component for some flare – a 12-inch Klipsch subwoofer.
Hardware Sales – i7-6700K for $365, 500GB MX200 for $155, & R9 390
By Steve BurkeSales this weekend are favorable for most types of system builders – the upgrades and the ground-up builds are equally represented by CPU sales, a 500GB SSD sale, and GPU price drops. The weekend's most noteworthy sales include Crucial's MX200 M.2 500GB SSD for $155, the Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake CPU for $365 (which is, sadly, cheap), and an R9 390 8GB for $300.
Hardware Sales - R9 380 4GB for $180, High-End Display, and Sennheiser Headset
By Steve BurkeThe R9 380 has fallen hard in price since its launch, spurred-on by the 380X's same-priced launch, and MIRs have further bolstered its affordability. 1440p monitors, meanwhile, are still expensive – but include enough high-end features and discounts to be worth serious configuration. Our sales items for the weekend look at both of these items – a PCS R9 380 for cheap and 1440p display – in addition to a high-end headset.
Hardware Sales – Fury X for $570, 144Hz ROG Display for $400, GTX 950 $120
By Steve BurkeAfter a few weeks of mostly mediocre sales, it seems as if retailers have returned to their usual inventory dump. I'd say it's for the end-of-year bookkeeping, but we all know that sales are nonstop. Not sure if they still count as 'sales' in that fashion, but might as well play the game that we're all in. This weekend, we spotted an R9 Fury X for $570 (marked down from $650), a 144Hz ROG display for $400, and GTX 950 at an impressive $120.
Hardware Sales: $160 480GB SSD, $70 240GB SSD, & 1440p Display
By Steve BurkeTime's about up for online purchases if anticipating pre-25th arrival. This weekend's got a few good sales on SSDs, including an Intel 480GB SSD for $160 and Kingston 240GB SSD for $70, but we found a few side-items while searching.
