amazon-us-black-friday-2016

Happy Thanksgiving! Amazon has some great Black Friday deals this year. We searched through all the PC hardware deals to find the best, and they’re all listed in this post.

Expect many more deals every day between now and Cyber Monday. Of course, if you see anything here that you really like, we suggest grabbing it while you can. We do not expect the deals on these particular products to get any lower than this. If you’re looking for some comparisons for your new gaming rig then you might want to check out ProductExpert’s gaming laptop recommendation for India to get some ideas on how to upgrade.

Note: Retailers often like to list a “normal price” that is higher than what they normally sell it for. We have done our best to list the actual normal price for which the product has normally sold.

Have at it!

Black Friday 2016: How to Get the Best Deals on PC Hardware

black-friday-2016

Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2016 are almost here. If you’re planning on buying any new PC hardware, now is the time to prepare.

One of the most common question we are asked is “When is the best time of year to buy PC hardware?” In the U.S., the best time to buy new PC parts is Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Outside the U.S., you may do better during the holiday sales around Christmas.

However, you don’t need to venture outside the safety and warmth of your home to find the best PC hardware deals. We at Logical Increments prefer the more civilized method: Gluing yourself to the internet and mashing F5 on your browser until you find the best deals.

The Best Time to Buy PC Parts

pchardware2

Recently, a user wrote to us: “Would you recommend waiting until after the holidays to buy PC parts? A friend of mine told me that was the best time to buy PC parts, because that’s when hardware goes on sale.”

Generally speaking, there’s no “optimal” time to buy PC parts. And if you’re looking to capitalize on sales, it’s probably better to buy during the holidays around Black Friday/Cyber Monday, as opposed to waiting for the holidays to blow over. However, even if you wait for the ultimate sale, you can’t guarantee that the exact things you want will get discounts.

The flagship of the red team’s new generation of graphics cards, AMD’s RX 480, is finally here. The 480 aims to be a groundbreaking card for the mainstream gamer. With prices of $199 and $229 for the 4GB and 8GB versions respectively, the card is squarely in the mid-range price point, but with significantly more power than previously seen in a card at this price. The card performs just slightly above the GTX 970 or R9 390 — cards that cost $320+ until very recently.
