When is the best time to buy computer components to build a computer?
I was thinking the same before black Friday coz i wanted another extra pc too. I would recommend watching DealNews.com and buy components when you find them cheap. Buy the basic things first and then keep on adding things when they get cheap like buy a mother board which has memory expandable upto 8GB , so that in future when memory gets cheap you can buy more memory. And dont just stick to Tigerdirect.com , Try newegg, geeks. These days Newegg has a promotion if you buy using Paypal, Paypal will give you 20% back. About Processor i would recommend AMD coz it’s cheap and the way company is going i think they gonna be cutting more prices soon to be competitive.
Prices on components go up and down all the time although they tend to go down over long periods of time. For instance, right now, memory chips are very cheap due to overproduction and declining sales. At any given time the price of any given component can be high or low but, in general, the best time to buy ’em is right now. When you total up all the parts, they will pretty much average out. The real trick is to shop around and look for the best current price on each one. You’ll usually find good prices at NewEgg or Tiger Direct.
