What's Everyone Buying Tonite (B-friday)

[tp4tissue]

This year.  Tp4 out for

--Harddrives--

--Maybe a cellpho--

--Microcontroller--

New PSU arrived today but that did not reincarnate my computer so motherboard, CPU and RAM are on the list for tonight.

Really not impressed with needing a Z motherboard for even a mild overclock, seriously tempted with a low end i5 on a cheap one instead but that would mean spending money for a performance drop. Or spend loads for a slight improvement if I'm reading correctly

from 4xxx to 6xxx wouldn't be worth it..  you'd go for 7xxx

from 2xxx and 3xxx    to  6xxx   is worth it..

Worth it if you need it but I don't game so lots of fairly fast threads (2600k) was great - I'd have waited for 8xxx given the choice.

[noisyturtle]

nothing, Black Friday is bull****. You'll find no better deals tomorrow than you will find any other time of the year, the advertising is just much louder.

[SpAmRaY]

I missed a loaded xps desktop earlier so now I'm just salty.

[fanpeople]

Are off-bags on sale?

[ideus]

There is no real deal on what I really need.

That's cyber monday.  Bfri is for errthing.

That said, I haven't seen anything that's lighting my hair on fire, deal-wise.

True that. I was looking at component prices and comparing against what they cost at the start of summer.
I could get a i5 6600K for cheaper now on Black Friday at two competing franchises, but other items cost the same or  more than they did.

Considering getting that ssd.. buhhhh.. i already haz a million ssds.

Only things that caught my eye were NHL 17, steam link and steam controller. Grabbed all of that for under $70, so I'm happy, and I didn't have to step foot in a single store.

I saw a 1tb ssd for $250.  pretty good deal...

I think pretty much everyone is looking at the $99 750gb crucial mx300..


The issue is, the mx300 isn't a very good ssd.. hrmmmmm..

[noisyturtle]

eh, I said I wouldn't but I got another ssd anyway. Seemed like a good deal.

//Headscratch..

Didn't buy nothing so far..   

//Headscratch...


ugh...........  fingers crossed for Cyber Monday..

[tp4tissue]

Welp.. Bought the 750gb crucial ssd for $99..    I know it's a slow ssd..

Soooooo... /participated.. 

what do i win.. ? 

[tp4tissue]

The counter shows 3040 sold in 1 hour..

that's alotta ssds..   

Don't even know what to do with it..

Now I think I have to buy a ps4pro,   cuz i got nothing to put the ssd into ..

[funderburker]

Well, I really tried to find something in all BF deals that I NEED but there really isn't such a thing. I already have everything I've ever wished for - a smartphone, laptop, some good headphones, backpack, bicycle and other stuff. I've thought about Black Friday recently and understood that - of course, it's cool to get new **** with lower prices but then again - why spend money when you're happy with everything you have already? Thinking about trying and going minimalist next year. Not like throwing everything I own out and just living with one pair of pants but just thinking about what I really NEED. I've accumulated enough stuff for comfortable living and a lot of things I can just ask from family/friends when I need to use something like once a year.

DON'T GET HOOKED ON MATERIALISM. BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND BUY STUFF THAT REALLY WILL BE USED AND OF MEANING.

P.S. It's just my opinion and thought I'd share my recent contemplations

2600k to 5775C - crazy or a good idea if using the nice IGP?

um..

well it depends on if you're overclocking the 2600k..   Fully Overclocked @ 4.7-4.8ghz  the 2600k will be faster than the 5775C (3.7ghz max turbo)

2600k was at 4.3, the 5775C is also unlocked so would be similarly overclocked (max at stock volts - I aim for silence)

mmmmm...... if the upgrade is going to cost you ANOTHER motherboard ontop of that CPU,   then it's kind of still not worth the price..

You would buy the 6700k instead..

what's the price you're looking at (total) for your upgrade to the 5775c

[suicidal_orange]

what's the price you're looking at (total) for your upgrade to the 5775c

it's about $50 more for the 5775 using the cheapest Z170 but I could reuse my RAM saving $100+ then get some really nice stuff later...

[mauri]

Meh, got a toothbrush that wasn't even a BF sale, just a regular week sale. Still, 30€ for an electric toothbrush and a 4 pack of brushes works for me.

[suicidal_orange]

Tried to buy - got stopped by card security.  Calling at lunchtime on black friday is a stupid idea so no computer for me this weekend

i wouldn't...  if your motherboard is broken and you already have the 2600k,   just get another motherboard..

One cpu, one motherboard - no booting.  Either or both are dead...

pretty unlikely cpu is dead.. there's alot of overvoltage/ overcurrent protection designed into the motherboard..

did you try swapping gpu and ram?

CPU is GPU so can't swap that, could have stolen some RAM from work to test but wouldn't be popular if I freid it )

test 1 stick at a time,   even when ram fries,  it's not often both sticks

[rainb1ood]

Still deciding if I should pick up more crucial MX300

i think the $99 for 750gb will probably return  here and there throughout cyber monday..

so... keep an eye out..

[SpAmRaY]

Still haven't bought anything.

Dang it.

I didn't buy anything this week until I saw this link. My Mac mini needs a HDD->SSD upgrade.

[tp4tissue]

OK.. So in summary..


I feel like the ONLY standout deals this year. wassss


the $99   750gb crucial SSD



Everything else felt normal priced..
