Looking to drop 500$ on a cheap gaming pc in ~30 days, are there any seasonal sales or something I should wait for?

I see ghot's thread but that's just flash sales as far as I can tell.



There's no real "set time" to buy. However, you may notice that right before the huge sales like Black Friday, etc., they prices are usually lower than on the sale day.

4K monitor 28" or above...YES

/e 4K TV, a waste unless the various cable companies, start providing 4K shows.

Not a waste when you have 4k movies.

Don't waste your money on a 4k monitor. There isn't that much of a difference from 2560x1600 and shit plays better at a lower res.

Edit: Don't get me wrong. 4k TVs look bad as but on monitors, it starts to get so small that you can't really notice a difference. Though 4k would be one hell of a retina display.

Again if the cable company is only providing 1080p shows...


For 4K monitor...ASUS or DELL.
