It's that time of the year when electricals become much cheaper than usual. Let's make a thread dedicated to this and help everyone out!
Post some of the things that'll be on sale or ask for help/rec others what they're looking for!
Don't let the thread die!
Anyone have suggestions for good earbuds? Already have headphones but they're too clunky to carry around and I don't want to risk breaking them.

For cheapies, I highly recommend the Panasonic RP‑HJE120. They're far from perfect, but soooo much better than most shitty earbuds I've tried. A bit muddy, otherwise pretty good. No ridiculous, uncontrolled, ear-piercing highs, and no horrid, loose, farty, over-emphasized bass.
I'm looking to buy a 42-48 inch tv that can play mkv files from a usb 1080p or 4k but not too expensive.
Can anyone help me out? It's too hard trying to pick a tv out of all of them out there
How cheap can I find a 1-2tb external hard drive? What brands do you recommend?
Would it be stupid to invest in a more one so that it doesn't break after a year of use?

Someone suggested to me a WDMybook.
It plugs into a wall so it's more reliable.
So is it worth getting a cheap chromebook?
I've been tempted for a long time. Which one should I look for? Any Chromebooks with the possibility to upgrade RAM and SSD?

>>51525926
da fuq, stop cleaning your earbuds with the bottom of your shoe
>>51526461
cool, then you can sell the m50x for some profit because they're garbage
I wasn't going to upgrade my SSD, but if the price drops any lower, I might just take the plunge.
>>51526717
>Implying they are garbage
They're just overpriced
>>51526445
Might get cheaper
There are similar drives from different brands already cheaper
A 5tb WD was up for cheap as well but it might have been UK only
I ended up getting a Galaxy Tab S2 for $375
I was hoping to find one for $350 but fuck it.
>>51525362
Cheaper is the word you're looking for.

thank you for validating me, i really wanted the msi one but all the goyim already bought them all.
So, I'm trying to buy a GTX 980 for my new pc build. I'be been looking at the EVGA FTW model and had been set on that, but I can get a Gigabyte version that is comparable enough for between $30-80 cheaper (depending on which I'd go with). What should I do? Should I wait on the EVGA or grab one of the gigabytes?
Any Brits expecting there to be any good sales? I'm interested in looking at some CPUs and GPUs but I've never noticed any decent sales from Ebuyer, Novatech, etc. in the past years.
I'm looking to build a whole new pc but can't decide on the video card. so many to choose from...
Could someone compare laptops being sold by major retailers right now and tell me which is the best one for around 200 USD?
>>51528522
you buy a R9 Fury
>>51528607
find one that fits ur needs, but don't let games define you, okay /g/ent
>>51528643
I see. well i was looking to pair up a 4690k with a good card.
I am buying a TV, but have nothing on the hook. Might put it off until boxing day. Too far from the US border to actually get a deal.
Is newegg going to get any lower?
Also I have heard rumours of newegg having a complete garbage return policy, along with shit quality control. Would it be better to get parts off Amazon, newegg, or somewhere else?
Should I buy Friday or wait for cyber Monday?
>>51528964
unless you are waiting for a specific deal on monday, friday will have better deals as a whole.
>>51529096
Right, thanks anon
>>51525341
They're pretty cheap right now. I bought a 5TB Seagate drive for around $180 a few months ago. I saw another external 5TB for $110 on amazon a few hours ago.
thingken of getting a 500gb-1tb SSD

>>51526809
The price just went up to $344.86.
>>51528830
I've never returned anything on newegg, but returning things on amazon is very easy. I only shop on amazon because returning items is so easy.
>>51526809
You can still get that SSD for $200 here:

I'm pretty sure the favorite is the Samsung EVO 850. (Though I believe the 950 is out or coming out soon.)
That said, I think the SanDisk Ultra II offers a good bang for the buck (at sale prices).

/g/, what I really want for Christmas is a CarPlay/Android Auto-enabled stereo head for my car. If one of you sees such a thing, could you mention it? I'd appreciate it.
Anybody know if any of those HDMI stick computers are gonna be on sale? Or a micro computer in a similar price?
I'm looking to plug one in behind my TV with an HDD and have it on 24/7 running SickRage and Plex so I can have all my TV shows available. It uses too much power having my desktop on all the time.
Is there a reason why this SSD is so cheap? The specs are just as good as other SSDs, but it's a lot cheaper for some reason. I'm thinking it must have some negatives, but the only thing I can find is that is has a 3 year warranty instead of a 10 year warranty like the Samsung EVO.
I want a cheap monitor, bestbuy got a 27" HP ips panel for $140 bucks. Any better deals around?
>>51529623
it's at a comparable price to every SSD that isn't Samsung who charge more b/c of brand recognition

Newegg used to be great on returns. Past couple orders I have had with them where I tried tor return after 2011 made me never want to do business with them again.
Whenever they get uppity on returns I invoke the time they falsely accused me of fraud and usually that's the end of it.

If you're considering that, why not get the Ultra II for better read/write speed? (It also seems to be a bit cheaper)

>>51529286
Samsung or Sandisk for cheap.
Samsung or Intel for great and expensive.
Samsung is pretty much the best one doing SSDs right now. The PRO is great and the EVO is fine even with the retarded bullshit from the 840 EVO.
Intel is extremely good, but expensive. Their 750 is stupid fast, but I don't know if it's like the jump from HDD to SSD. Samsung has the 950 PRO, but it appears to be throttling.
I used to like Crucial, but their recent SSDs are falling behind in performance. They haven't thrown out anything good after their m4 and m500 SSDs. Some of them are very efficient though, so keep that in mind for laptops.
The others are fine too, but I don't have hands on experience.
The Samsung 850 EVO 500GB just dropped to $147.99.
>>51528417
good
>>51529867
This is somewhat a big discount, they are usually $850 pesos ($50) but they are $39 with free shipping right now.
If anyone is from mexico i will try to post stuff for you guys if anyone is interested.
this is the fourth year in a row where i dont feel i need anything, nor do i want anything
meanwhile my bank account is in hibernation
>>51529994
Not gonna happen outside of maybe $5. That shits too new to go on discount. Best you might get is $20 off a 4690k and z97 board.
>>51530208
There was a $40 discount in the 4690k yesterday in newegg leaving it at $200 IIRC.
>>51528417

Heard it's only on sale for an hour and you have to use the mobile app
>>51530301
know the model?
>>51530312
I didn't really look at the deal since I wasn't interested in getting a tv.
Most than likely it's cheap like a vizio or something
>>51530208
bummer
I don't think I need anything.
There are some sweet SSDs going on sale, but every device already has one. PCI-e SSDs might be cool, but that's next year.
I don't need a more powerful GPU with the current displays.
G-sync monitors are stupid expensive and there is still no 1440p 120Hz-144Hz IPS display with freesync enabled for all refresh range.
Fiery Bridge can handle until Zen and Broadwell-E.
Why add more RAM when DDR4?
Ah, I know. More storage. A 4TB drive for $100 sounds awesome.
>>51530353
What are you hoarding with all those drives?
What is a good graphics card I can get for around $100?
>>51530372
Animu, mango, movies, roms, copious amounts of textbooks, and a single 1080p Coalgirls Tenshi Release.
Thinking about getting a 2515H since it's on sale. Does lower resolution content (e.g animu) look a lot worse scaled to 1440p compared to 1080p at the same screen size or is it about the same?
>>51530388
Zotac GTX 750Ti is the best option in the $90~$110 range.

I need to build a new PC, looking at 600-800 range. Don't need HDDs for now. Anything I should pick up now?
>>51529937
That is very tempting, but I'm going to wait till the 960GB version goes down to $200 again.
>>51530511
>960GB version goes down to $200 again.
Damn. Will we see 1TB SSDs for $100 next year? They're promising huge capacity SSDs for 2017 and Samsung is revving up for 4TB next year.
Shit, it's really happening. HDD manufactures should prepare their asses in 5 years, WD knows about it.
>>51530421
yes, please spend your money
You can still buy 960GB Sandisk for $200, but you have to wait 2 - 4 weeks for them to restock.
>>51530594
>This year
No, Next year maybe 500GB.
>>51530594
The price for SSDs drop pretty fast, but not that fast. We might be able to buy 1TB SSD for $150 next year and maybe $100 a year later.
>>51530613
Who cares, new SSD for new years.
>>51530635
To save $61, I think it's worth the wait.
>>51530594
>WD knows about it
Which is why WD is acquiring SanDisk.
I honestly feel a bit worried about that since I don't have fond feelings for WD and like SanDisk.
>>51530594
2015 kind of sucks.
2016 has Pascal with HBM that will be a big jump from Maxwell.
3D Xpoint promises to be 1000x faster than current SSDs at a competitive price.

If you already have an SSD, you might want to wait.
>>51530622
I remember the retarded Amazon summer sale having Sandisk 500GB SSDs for $130. They will definitely reach $100 next year.
Any chances on the 380x or 960 dropped to 140?
My parents want to get a laptop for a friends of theirs daughter that is in European country. Is there something they should look out for when buying laptop? The girl is going to college so needs something that has decent storage, normal screen, and usability. Any suggestions? The country doesn't have any decent tech stores so they kinda relying on us. 400-700 range. They also looking for similar laptop for themselves, but mother likes to watch bunch of movies etc, but she watches it on some website, so the wifi connection that's good is a plus.
Btw anyone have experiences with buying monitor stands from Microcenter? I want to buy a stand to make my monitor go portrait for cheap, thanks!
>>51530666
>3D Xpoint promises to be 1000x faster than current SSDs at a competitive price.
Yeah right. That shit is going to be expensive as fuck.
Anyone have any good advice for an upgraded GPU? Looking to upgrade from my gtx 660.
Also, what is the difference between nvidia and amd cards?
>>51530666
>xpoint
>pronounced crosspoint
>>51530700
Powerful CPU (I3-XXXU/I5-XXXXU) and a 1080p screen, also good battery.
Everything else its not really important for a college computer.
500GB is decent storage for a normal person and more than enough.
14+" 1080p is more than enough.
Watch out what kind of laptop you buy because most are a scam (See Lenovo G405 for example).
>>51530735
Budget?
>>51530735
AMD cards are louder and hotter.
>>51530735
AMD cards then to be cheap for their perfomance, but hotter, and need way more energy than their Nvidia counterparts.
>>51530761
Roughly 300, I guess.
>>51530666
Don't forget Greenland.
Everyone would love to have storage that's almost as fast as RAM, while Xpoint is very exciting, it's definitely not going to be cheap.
>>51530789
R9 290~R9 390.
GTX 970 is a option too but the 3.5GB is still a problem.
Should I get an AMD or Nvidia card if I mainly use GNU/Linux?
>>51530772
>louder
not anyone but an autist would pick up on this. also not every card is louder
>hotter
not all the time, and even if it is, there's no thermal throttling. so there's no problem for that.
>>51529568
I have this monitor, it seriously looks really nice one you get the right calibration profile. Colors are deep and vivid, way better than any other TN panel I've had.
The only downside is the viewing angle, but it's not that bad and if you need a big viewing angle on a 144hz gaming monitor, you're doing something wrong.
>>51530465
Bumppp. I feel like I'll bottleneck myself if I just go to pcpartspucker, choose a build, and substitute what I can with sales. I'd rather find some really good buys and build around them

Question, should I only look for Intel I5 cpus or Celeron/Pentium are good? My father got some email from Microcenter and there's couple of laptops that are really cheap and they have those cpus, but I told him that the i5 is trusted for daily use, and the i7 is more powerful. How do I determine how good of a battery is without testing it in store or online?
>>51530898
Do you have Microcenter near you? I copped 4770k+Motherboard for $250, they have DefineR4 for like $60, 3t external hd for $100, ordered 780 from Newegg along with the ram and put together a decent pc. just check on pcpartpicker to see if they have any deals, and make sure to click "Search near me" to see if there stores around you that might have nice sales.
>>51530949
Celeron CPUs will have problems with most tasks, Pentium would be "Just fine", but I3 would be just perfect, a I5 would be more than enough.
Remember they are laptop CPUs which mean they are weaker than their desktop counterparts.
>>51530949
No Micro anywhere near me. Or Frys. One of the many downfalls of WNY
So is Dell the best deal for the xbox one? I just built a desktop so I was going to buy an xbox for my son but was hoping to save some money and still get him the good shit like Fallout 4.
>>51530949
My Pentium is fine on my desktop. I got it as a placeholder for when Broadwell came out then never bothered to upgrade.
I use it for Office, web browsing and programming.
More cores would be helpful when running a virtual machine, or when a rogue program pins a core. Some games these days are optimized for four cores, so that would be a problem, as would heavy multithreaded compute work like rendering. But it works well enough for me that the benefit of upgrading doesn't seem worth the annoyance of opening up my case.
>>51530982
>>51531050
Yea I fully understand that, anything else I should be worried about buying laptop in USA and shipping it to Europe? How will their chargers work there etc? Keep in mind that this laptop will most likely be the only computerized thing in their household, so in a way it needs to do anything a noob wants to do, plus more.
>>51530999
I mean if you are really eager to get some deals, you can drive to Microcenter, I'm located in Brooklyn and before they opened near me, the closest store was like a hour away, but the savings there where so worth it, father bought a brand new 60' tv 40% off.
>>51530812
I'll keep a lookout for it, then. Will the r9 390 be able to run most games on high at least? I usually only play dota 2, but would like to play POE, fallout, and some mmorpgs when I get it.
>>51530851
Is the heat an issue? I can't imagine it, but I live in california. This last summer it got over 100 many times, which really sucks.
>>51531091
Yes.
Not really, but reduces lifetime.
You think that is bad? the average temperature where i live is 48°C.
>>51531104
Where is that?
Do you cook food on the road?
>>51531121
Sonora desert.
Also the worst part is that i live near sea.
80% Humidity on a 45°C day is hell, i usually get sick atleast twice every summer for heat problems.
Probably.
>>51531158
I forgot to ask, the r9 390 card can support two monitors just fine, right?
>>51531220
it can support 3 monitors.

This is it. They'll post new sales on Monday. Better or worse depends on what you are looking for. They will be better deals but more niche
I know next to nothing about phones, but was hoping to get something cheap but decent:

I can't find anything I like from newegg, their pricing has been shit especially on refurbished.
Also i still don't know what the in-store deals for frys will be, anyone have any idea?
Hi all,
I want a new psu, but am having trouble figuring out which one to get. My budget is around $80 CAD but cheaper is better, although I don't mind paying a little over $80 if it's worth it. Both of these got good reviews on amazon, but on tomshardware or other forums, some people always say that these two are a little shit. So... Which should I get (or recommend something better). Currently, 500W is more than enough but if if I want to make a new desktop in 3-4 years, ideally I wouldn't want to have to buy a new psu, so futureproofing is something I want to take into consideration.

On benchs the EVO is the best. But in practical use you won't find any difference.
>>51531750
The Nexus 6's have been going on pretty good sales recently and are still great phones if you're okay with the size. Other than that the Moto X and the new OnePlus One should be available to purchase without an invite as well I think.
If you mean low price like $100 you're probably best off with something like a Moto G.
Do RAM prices usually do down this time of year? At what prices should I buy?

It's on the ads. Some of them online only/e-mail and some on the official ad.
Still though, every time I went to frys, they posted up the online adds in-store as well and do a great job of getting you on the e-mail list asap. As well, they also tend to post deals days-of that you won't see online/paper ad.
Whats kind of shitty this time around is lack of cpu/motherboard combo deals other then a super budget $30 one I think. They usually offer a bunch each year, i got 970 mobo and FX 6350 for $80 last year.
So is this a good 4TB harddrive? I was going to use the visa checkout promo to bring it down to $110?

Do you have nothing better to do than be dicks.

Just realized that now. Thanks for pointing that out man, appreciate it.
Are Seagate hard drives still considered shit tier? I haven't bought much of anything PC related since BF 2011 and haven't been keeping up with stuff as much as I should.
>>51532247
it's pretty typical to build a desktop and then just get out of the loop for like 5 years until you build a new one/upgrade. that's how I do it, at least.

That's a NAS HDD. Do you know what you're doing with that?
I'm looking to get the Fire for $35 from Amazon and the Roku SE for $25. I hope that shits available on Prime Now. Those are the "big" purchases. I might buy some SD cards for my phone/tablet.
I really just want this for books, comics and porn.
>>51532342
From what I have read, a NAS harddrive is essentially just a regular harddrive designed around 24/7 use. I was just gonna slap it in my computer for video and picture storage.I was thinking about putting games on it, but that is probably a no since it is only 5900 rpm.
>>51532342
even better, Nas is one of my favorite rappers

I'm considering getting it for the exact same purpose(photo and video storage) and I'd like to know if it's a decent idea as well.
Looking to upgrade a bit this black friday. Was hoping to find a good gpu if i can get on on sale, and hopefully get an order in for one of the 980GB solid states. What would be the best bang for my buck if this is my current setup?

Thanks. is 750W overkill if I don't need it or would it be fine if it's operating at 50-60% capacity?
Remember that anything you buy on Amazon, to check camelcamelcamel to make sure you aren't getting a discount on a marked up product
>>51532751
i'm pretty sure PSU design dictates that it can HANDLE up to whatever it's rated at. You could put a 1200W PSU into a build that uses 120W. It will still work, but obviously be a waste of a good PSU.

Don't any of you bottomfeeders have jobs to look past how much shit is being forcefed to you on Black Friday? I literally can't stomach the things that these retailers are trying to shove in my face every year and the stupidity of people when anything that goes on sale, eventually ends up going on sale a week later.
>>51533120

your entire echo chamber of an argument is not listened to by people that aren't stupid.

You're not doing Black Friday right.
No (you) for you.
>>51524678
I bought the newest "Aquious" model from Panasonic last year on black Friday...Trust me it has all of what you're looking for (4k, usb ports, screen sharing, etc) so I'd assume whatever has been made by them since 2014 works just as well
anons, which would you go for?
AMD A8 7600 APU for $85
or
AMD X4 860K and a Zotac 750 TI for about $165
>>51533144
You linked me to a website that aggregates deals, so what? Was that your rebuttal? Great. Retailers that participate during Black Friday are trying to get ride of excessive inventory by marking down on their price tags and literally giving away their overstock.
The easiest way for manufacturers to ease retailers in getting rid of their stock is by exorbitantly marking down their prices on Black Friday and then if they've cleared out their stock, refill that stock and if they haven't cleared out, renegotiate a fixed lower price with retailers.
Only welfare trailer trash and idiots go out to camp outside Walmart. This thread is just that.
>>51533233
AMD X4 860K and a Zotac 750 TI
The CPUs in the 7600 and 860 are the same but the 750 will get you that dank fps in those dank games you're gonna buy on steam

he posted a website that debunks everything you retards like to say because you don't have any money, basically. you'd have literally no reason to even post what you're posting ITT otherwise. remember to stay mad.
i have $4-750 to spend on a computer come black friday or cyber monday, whatever.
should i really build a desktop over buying a laptop? will the savings be that great? i don't really care if i can't play the sikkest newwest vidya at 420fps. i just need a lot of ram and a snappy hdd/cpu
the laptop would be much more convenient at this point in my life too, i also dj.
I play alot of video games.
Whats the first thing i should be trying to upgrade from what i already have?
>>51533373
Show me an item on that website that has had a pricetag that hasn't fluctuated the entire year and wasn't marked lower than what it's been for all year, and is on sale for Black Friday. Bonus points is if it remains one of the same prices that it went through round year after Black Friday.
You idiots literally have no idea how retail works. You'll swallow all of it up and ignore that the same deals you'll see on Black Friday will show up during the entire month of December and eventually baseline for the rest of next year.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Xcq37P
You like my build, /g/? I think I did pretty alright.
I've got $500 to spare on Friday, so I'll buy the GPU, SSD, and the case seeing as they're the lowest price they've ever been. Then I'll keep an eye out for random sales on the rest of the parts until Christmas. That also gives me time to switch to a Skylake build if I decide it's worth it.
Any good SSD sales yet?
>>51533423
a better monitor
>>51533443
Even given the fact that what you said is true, I have no idea why you're upset. If we get the deals now or two weeks ago or in a month what the fuck does it matter?

Man, I remember when I got my first SSD, 200 for 60 gigs.

I've got no regrets.
It was one of the biggest upgrades I ever did.
If I waited till now, I'd have wasted all that time on a slower system.
I'd actually have to wait fro programs to open for a few seconds.
Now I'm about to replace my immediate storage drive.
I can't wait till ssds drop cheap enough to replace my long term storage array.

Vapid consumer mentality is what lets manufacturers and retailers walk all over consumers like this every year. Everyone is making money off the ignorance of someone whose idea of a "good deal" is the one that's being shoved in your face, cue a bullshit day after Thanksgiving.

Looking for deals on generally hilariously overkill monitors. 28" ish size. I was surprised in the fact that I can't seem to find anything.
Anyone spot anything good? Or even noteworthy?
Looking for a 27", 1440p IPS monitor for ~$200. Has anyone seen a good deal from a reputable brand?
I'm looking for a good drawing tablet. Preferably a wacom but I really don't know too much about drawing tablets so I'm not sure if they're the best or just the most popular.
>>51533700
You can get that
>reputable brand
forget about it. Dell UltraSharps go for like $200 for a 24" 1920x1080 IPS, so that should tell you what the good stuff costs. If it's around $200 and has specs that are "better" then expect it to be shit.
>>51532370
So is the roku se like a cheap roku 3, or worse? Does it have the usb plug and play media?
I need CPU advice.
These are the options (AUS prices);
i5-4460 $275
A10-7870K $205
FX-8320 $218
The GPU will the an R9 390. I'm only gonna be playing games, browsing, watching videos, etc, and I really don't wanna pay that premium for intel if I don't have to.
>>51532207
Don't buy a 75hz if you actually care about gaming competitively. If not competitive then it really doesn't matter. I just snagged a benq xl2411z, and its butter-smooth. Color reproduction not the best but that's what you get with TN panels which give you that sort of refresh rate. Went from LE - SMFC in CSGO. would be global if people werent trolls. Just saw it at $180 but its out of stock now.
Haven't been paying much attention to tech stuff recently.
Any HDD lines I should try to avoid? I'm in quite a need for bulk storage for media and the like and the large drives in particular have reviews all over the damn place.

Here's a refurbished Acer for $280, so I don't think I have to resort to a Korean brand to find one a few bucks cheaper on Friday.
I'm afraid to go Korean for the dead pixels and no returns.
Quick post before I sleep. While you may save money on non-samsung ssd's, the extra 20-30 goes into some advanced data protection hardware. Basically, at our university lab, we had a power failure/brownout, and only the samsung ssd'd computers had no corruption. The others all had corrupted blocks and 1 cruzial was destroyed. Just a heads up,
>>51533752

>>51533776
>refurbished
>acer
those are both pretty bad points anon. monitors are a spot, at least for me, where I don't skimp and buy shit brands. Monitors that cost more will last longer and have a better picture/better warranty, nice vesa stand that lets you adjust everything, smaller bezels etc.. you definitely get what you pay for with monitors.
>>51533817
Didn't know Acer was bad.
I just spent $1800 on a new rig, so I didn't want to drop another $400 into a monitor if I don't have to.
Any suggested models I should set up email alerts for on pcpartpicker?
>>51533841
I don't know I bought 2 acers 2 years ago and I still use them to this day without any problems.
>>51533813
That is incredibly cheap, but I'm not sure how much I like the idea of buying a refurb drive.
>>51533841
not really m8. Dell Ultrasharps are always solid, but that's all I could tell you with confidence. In reality, you could probably buy an acer and it will be fine. I wouldn't fuck with a refurbish at least, though.

I bought them online using my debit card. May have made a mistake doing that if I didn't want it trace back to me.
>>51533858
It's just for media, right?
I wouldn't worry about it. I'm using mine for backups of my SSD. The likelihood of both (other being samsung 950 pro) dying at the same time is minimal.
Just be sure anything you really don't want to lose is on two drives.
>>51533864
I'm under the impression refurb hardware undergoes more rigorous testing before reselling and is less likely to be faulty, but that might not be the case anymore.
>>51533871
they're definitely good, IMO. the ultrasharps, at least.
>>51529937
Just quickly want to point out that this ships internationally.
Ausfags get all up on this shit, $160aud to for a 500gb SSD
>>51533895
Holy shit. I can't believe you can get a new smart phone for a dollar.
Should I get the MG279Q right now for $550 or do you think it'll go down?
