GPU Sales: RX 470 for $120, RX 480 4GB $185, GTX 1080 for $500
By Ryan Greenberg
The GPU market has been shaken up recently with the release of the nVidia GTX 1080 Ti and AMD’s inevitable Vega launch. Discounts on GTX 1080s and RX 400 series cards are available and widespread at this point, so we’ve highlighted some deals for those looking to upgrade or build a new PC in 2017.
Hardware Sales - RX 480 4GB for $150, GTX 1080 for $480
By Ryan Greenberg
The nVidia GTX 1080 Ti launched recently (we reviewed it here), and with that launch has come some price reductions on both nVidia and AMD graphics cards. We also found an ASUS TUF Z270 motherboard for $200 with a promo code, and 8GB of DDR4 from Corsair for $53 (also with a promo code). As we get closer to the inevitable launch of AMD’s Vega cards, graphics card prices will be important to keep an eye on.
Hardware Sales - GTX 1080s at $500, 8GB RX 480 for $230
By Ryan Greenberg
With nVidia’s recent GTX 1080Ti announcement and GTX 1080 price cut, graphics cards have seen reductions in cost this week. As stated in our last sales post, hardware sales are hard to come by right now, but we have still found some deals worth noting. We found an RX 480 8GB for $200, and a GTX 1080 for $500. DDR4 prices are still high, but some savings can be had on a couple of kits of DDR4 by G.SKILL.
Hardware Sales - i5-7400, Z270 Motherboard, 16GB DDR4
By Ryan Greenberg
Newegg is having a President’s Day Sale with some savings to be had on things like a GTX 1070, a Kaby Lake i5, and a 16GB kit of DDR4 RAM. All sales run through at least end of today, so if any of these are of interest, you’ll have a little bit of time to act.
Hardware Sales - Cherry MX Keyboard $60, RGB Gaming Mouse $45
By Ryan Greenberg
Taking a break from internal components, we’ve assembled a list of gaming peripherals on sale for those finishing up a new build or looking to upgrade their current gear. We have found a couple keyboards equipped with Cherry MX switches as well as some gaming mice, and even some RGB mousepads, if you need to have RGB in your set up. If neither of the selected keyboards meet all your needs, check out our Best Mechanical Keyboards of 2016 article for more options.
Hardware Sales - ASUS Z270E Motherboard for $190, Gigabyte GTX 1070 Mini for $377
By Ryan GreenbergHardware sales are hard to come by this time of year, but that didn’t stop us from finding a decent price on a new ASUS Z270 motherboard, a GTX 1070, and an RX 480. If you’re in the market for the Z270 chipset and a Kaby Lake processor, check out our review of the i7 7700k and i5 7600k. And of course, if upgrading from a pre-Skylake architecture, be mindful as DDR4 RAM prices are set to increase, as pointed out in our Ask GN 42 and in a recent article by Patrick Lathan on the site.
Hardware Sales - $175 RX 480, $120 16GB G.SKILL DDR4-3400 RAM
By Ryan GreenbergDRR4 has seen some price increases as of late. This could be due in part to Intel’s recent release of Kaby Lake and AMD’s soon to be released Ryzen, both of which require DRR4, but shortages in supply are not uncommon (especially with SMT lines ramping-up for SSDs). Graphics card prices across both nVidia and AMD have finally come to a stabilization point, and some savings can be had on a few GPUs from both vendors.
Graphics Card Sales - GTX 1070s, 1080s, & MSI RX 480 Gaming X
By Ryan GreenbergNVIDIA released their Pascal-based architecture in May of 2016 and, while pricing was sporadic early on, the prices have seemed to remain fairly consistent as of late. AMD also released a new architecture in 2016 with the Polaris family, and has also found a stable price-point as demand and supply have steadied. If you are in the market for a new graphics card or looking to upgrade, we have found some deals that can save a little money.
Hardware Sales - $120 Tempered Glass Case + PSU, $100 H100iV2
By Ryan GreenbergAs the Holiday Season ends, we find ourselves in the time of “year-end” sales. Soon to be followed by New Year sales, of course. And then another type of sale, assuredly.
Newegg and Amazon both have some decent hardware deals going on today. While current sales may not be able to compete with Black Friday prices, there is still money to be saved on hardware as we approach 2017. Everything from graphics cards to tempered glass cases can be found this week at discounted prices.
Steam Winter Sale Games Worth Getting - 2016
By Ryan GreenbergAs 2016 comes to an end, Steam is hosting their annual Winter Sale from now until January 2nd at 10AM PST. Steam’s annual Autumn Sale ran this year from November 23rd to 29th, so if you missed out on that, this is probably the last chance to get some savings for the year. Then again, Steam does sales routinely -- careful use of the wishlist means you’ll get notifications as items go up for sale throughout the year.
For today, we have a list of some of our best PC games of 2016 as well as some titles from 2015 that are discounted significantly. As these Steam sales come to a close, we will just be arriving in Las Vegas for the year’s Consumer Electronics Show, so do follow closely for that! News will ramp-up significantly post-Xmas.
Here is the shortlist:
