Hopefully monitor prices drop down a bunch. First time shopping this year during black friday.

Yes I just noticed that the perfect match monitor for my system spec is half the price of the entire system($1600)

I want to get a 1440p 1440hz monitor tbh. But my card probably won't be able to handle it. Although. still might go and grab a 1070 before my "30 day return policy" expires on my card. We'll see. I don't expect the 1070 to go down at all this year.

honestly not many computer parts go onsale on black friday

i tried to build a $700 rig and ended up only saving $35 thanks to deals. and that was because of a year-round deal at microcenter for an i5 4590 for $160

 

they only put the cheaper stuff for sale to get rid of it. 

if you expect to save 50-$100 on something like a CPU or GPU, its not gonna happen

Rigs I've Built

The Striker i5 4590 @ 3.7 ||  MSI GTX 980 Armor X2 || Corsair RMX 750 || Team Elite Plus 8 GB || Define S || MSI Z97S SLI Krait

The Office PC i3 4160 @ 3.6 || Intel 4600 || EVGA 500B || G.Skill 8 GB || Cooler Master N200 || ASRock H97M Pro4

The Friend PC G3258 @ 4.3 || Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X || EVGA 600B || 8 GB Dell Ram || Cooler Master N200 || ASRock H97M- iTX/ac

The Mom Gaming PC A10-7890K @ 4.4 || iGPU + ASUS R7 250 ||  8 GB Klevv DDR3-2800 Mhz

Looking for either new earplugs for phone (something from Bose or even more Sennheiser) or SSD. Might also consider GTX 1070 if the price is good.

I wish I had the budget for a 1070 and monitor

Getting a 1440p monitor for a 1060 is eh and getting a 1070 with a 1080p monitor is eh as well.
