Hi I'm building a gaming PC soon, and theres some good deals on NewEgg right now, like a NZXT for like $56 (with MIR) PNY 120GB SSD for $40, some 8GB ram (Sold out though)

My question are any of these good deals? Or should I risk waiting for CM

 

Oh yea here is the link https://pcpartpicker.com/list/chQn8K if you want to check the deals for yourself

 

Thanks!

Assuming you care about looks here with the S340 window...

You can pickup Windows 10 cheap at /r/microsoftsoftwareswap

Also get a CM Storm Devastator bundle instead of that mouse and keyboard.

I can always upgrade the cooler later, it probably won't matter what it looks like from the angle my pc is at, it won't be visible, but I got the NZXT S340 because it looks nice and if one day I want to go full upgrade I don't need to worry about a bad case

 

Dumb question: Could I swap mobos? Like if one day I wanted to upgrade could I just take out the RAM CPU etc and put it in a new mobo

 

Also I want the utech because it can change between magenta and blue, but I may get the devestator

Of course, as long as the mobo is of the same chipset.

The quality is probably eh, I really wouldn't bother.

The quality of the devastator or the utech?
