Evo 212

B75 Pro 3
8gb Ram
450w bronze psu
280x Sapphire

Bitfenix Case

Aoc 1080p IPS monitor 22 inch I think is the size

[URL="http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054853497]Here's where this is meant to go if you want any other opinions.[/URL]

Altogether €650-750 is a fair price range if all's working well I'd say.
It depends on the actual components - "Bitfenix case" could be any range of prices from €40 to €140+, your PSU might be some €20 fire hazard, etc etc, but I've presumed you bought middle-of-the-road components (cheapest RAM, some budget Corsair PSU or equivalent, €50-60 case, €150 monitor).

I've seen you have it up on Adverts, €800 is grand to start at with KB&M.

Regarding the epic mouse, don't bother getting it if it will used for gaming. This has a design fault,the thumb rest is just glued on and after a while the glue starts to seep out. Apart from that issue it was a pretty decent mouse.

Unsure where to post Tech related bargain requests, but does anyone know of the best place to get the PG278Q? I was thinking from here but I've never heard of the site before http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90622713/asus-pg279q-rog.asp

I bought a monitor from them a few months ago. It took a while as it wasn't in stock when I ordered (which I knew). They dropped the price on the monitor after I ordered (but before they got it in stock) so I was able to get the discount applied to my order.

i ordered the PG279Q on the 31/10/15 and it still hasnt been delivered yet. It is currently with UPS in GB somewhere as we speak. Just so you know the time frame you're talking about to get that monitor from them. They dont hold them in stock and only order them as the customer orders. Or at least that was the position when I ordered. Other than the long wait, which I was aware of at time of ordering, they have been spot on to deal with. Hopefully the monitor arrives soon and its a good batch because i have heard these monitors can suffer with back light bleed.

Hot damn that 500GB SSD was too good to pass up.

Bought that exact SSD for almost €50 more about 2 months ago. I was still tempted to buy a second one at that price :P

Damo 2k9

So tempted to buy one, ive been waiting for black friday to buy a SSD as im still in the oul mechanical HDD game but now that this has come up im close to ordering it...

God damn those college fees last week... :P

Xenoronin

SSD prices are only going down. If you can hold out I'd say wait for it. Put a price tracker on camelcamelcamel so you don't miss the next sale

Damo 2k9

Id say the 850 EVO will come down on black Friday, along with another few drives so thats what im keeping my cash for :P

Although cant imagine a 500gb going lower then that?

Not in the near future (though it'll probably be matched in another sale) but put it this way - 3 years ago, I paid more for a 256gb SSD drive than I did for my 500gb drive this year. SSD prices should keep falling slowly for a while so the longer you wait, the less you'll pay per gb.

If you don't need all the space, you could probably pick up a 120gb drive or so for a third the price, get most of the benefit (keeping your HDD for storage) and upgrade in a few years when you're less strapped for cash.

john the one

Anyone think i5s or i7s will come down after black friday?

Gonna have about 300 euro to upgrade the system, thinking a processor and more RAM.

I've been looking at ordering a new 144hz/120hz monitor for Xmas recently. Since I have a AMD card I've been looking at Acer 27" 1440p and AOC's 24" 1080p Freesync monitors.

The Acer is available from an Amazon seller for £100 less than last week - should I pull the trigger? Am I missing something?
