[QUOTE="plat, post: 888012, member: 74969"] I got some answers to your question by searching online. They say generally: Black Friday (right after Thanskgiving), also last few weeks of July thru August into early September, aka: Back to School. Also: whenever chipmakers release new products, there will be reductions in prices to get rid of inventory. Right now, Intel released some Comet and Cascade Lake processors. So right now, you could look at some of the Coffee Lakes or earlier, depending on what retailers are in your area. For example, the Coffee Lake i7 9700K is currently on sale for 359.00 USD at Micro Center as they have the newer inventory now. NVIDIA? No clear eta for its [URL='https://www.gpumag.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3000-series/']3000 RTX series. [/URL] Do you have a [URL='https://www.microcenter.com/']Micro Center [/URL]around you? If not, there's a web store and the site is a good source of info for current discounts on parts and pre-builts. At very limited times, it's actually cheaper than Amazon but the timing on your part would be critical. Newegg is another source, but I'm not comfortable linking to that site. [/QUOTE]
