Meh.. I'm stillwaiting SSD deals here in Norway. Thing is, though, black friday ain't really a big thing in Norway, and it's still only the 27th here. So gotta wait till tomorrow before I buy anything!
well, i thought the 850 pro 256gb + free Assassins creed unity (new game) for $150 was a pretty good deal..
you can sell the game card for at least $25-30.. so $120-125 for an 850pro is pretty good.
I'm in the market for a new GPU, didn't really see anything besides a handful on newegg
What was it actually that unity screwed up so badly? I've seen tons of headliners saying that they done goofed, but haven't really read any of the articles. Is it buggy, or poorly optimised, or what?I'm in the market for a new GPU, didn't really see anything besides a handful on newegg
I don't feel like it's a good time for GPUs.. all the new games suck...
and seeing how bad ass creed is, we can only hope ubi doesn't fk up "The Division"

so.. basically the game makes a bunch of Online calls.. somewhere in doing that, it causes the game to hitch really badly, so frame rates drop by 20fps across the board..

O_o .. that sounds.. annoying?
How did something like that get through to release? Haven't they got people testing for that kind of stuff?
They probably went "Hmmm... there might be a small amount of noticeable FPS drops. ... naaaah... it's probably us being picky. Noone will notice!".so.. basically the game makes a bunch of Online calls.. somewhere in doing that, it causes the game to hitch really badly, so frame rates drop by 20fps across the board..

it's like they don't care.. LOL
there's really only a FEW studios big enough to make AAA games these days.. so it's not like anyone's actually got competition.
Some of the flash deals on Amazon are pretty good.
But then it's like 3 and a half hours until the actual black friday

You are EST. I am GMT.
The UK does Black Friday now too... I think I'm going to wait for Cyber Monday too.
I saw a decent monitor for 180 or so, but other than that it was a disappointing black friday. I had already decided to wait till next year. Same goes for Christmas i think.
I was hoping to find a G3258/Motherboard combo for like $50 or something crazy :)
Not much good stuff this year unless you are looking for a tv. I swung by Frys this evening and snagged an hdmi cable for free, a stuffed animal for my daughter for $2, and a 32 gb samsung evo micro sd card for $12 for the tablet I bought my wife for christmas. Everyone in the store seemed to have a 4k tv in their cart. They had 65" lg 4ks for around $1100 and the same tv in 55" for $900 i think.
I'm in no hurry to buy a new tv. If Interstellar comes out on some 4k format then I will change my tune.

Based on a specs you listed it's a gaming rig ? If so gaming should remain on desktop and not in overpriced laptop that will overheat .Neeever mind.. tjere's actually some good sales here i norway :D just put together a computer for my gf, so she's buying that! Did save quite a bit!

Dude, I'm not gonna unleash your wrath :))
But seriously, it's a GTX 970 and an intel i5-4690K which both were at a really good deal. Also a HyperX 240GB SSDD plus a seagate barracuda 2TB for other stuffs.
However, she's considering a proper laptop instead. Any thoughts on that? (I'm asking everyone, not just tp)
Gaming/drawing other graphical stuff.. aka cpu and ram! But yeah, I get what you mean.. but when you might end up at a uni with game designs, 3D, etc. having a high end laptop might not be such a bad idea. I do, however, agree that gaming is mainly for a desktopBased on a specs you listed it's a gaming rig ?

EDIT: I'll give insight as to why such a high end graphic card etc later.. but right now I'm making dinner :))

ok.. whenever people say... wait until next year ? that's 1/75 of your life span.. are you SURE that that length of time is worth the wait to say $15
hahahahaha
I grabbed an evga 750 ti from newegg for $109 after MIR -- normally $179.99. Certainly not a bleeding edge GPU but should be quite and upgrade coming from an HD5450 :D :D
I bought a screen, an iron, a socket set and a pair of trainers... That's it. I thought I would get more seeing as I got paid on Wednesday =/I ended up buying nothing ._. Almost bought the Bose QC headset, but decided to wait till after christmas (basically the same deals as on black friday).
Meh.
Hopefully there will be SOMETHING on Cyber Monday.
