Computer/Parts Deals Thread

I am an Nvidia man, but I am willing to bet that AMD is going to dominate the next few cycles. Mainly because all the new games will be made for ps4(all amd hardware) then ported over. I may just wait to see how the 8000 series looks. The 770 just beats the 7970 out, but not by a whole lot.

I feel pretty confident that Maxwell is going to crush. I'm just waiting it out til next year when those drop.

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I've been drooling over a WASD keyboard for some time now. The only problem is..

They are out of the switches I want. Considering the way I type and the fact I bottom out my keys on a regular basis (I'm really rough on my keyboard), I want the cherry brown switches along with orings so I won't wake the whole fraggin' house. Since they are out while I'm getting ready to order the parts for my new computer (and I know I'm going to need a kb); Any suggestions? I've contacted them to find out what's up but I don't know how long that'll be.

They only have the cherry blue switches right now :/ Just in case since they're coming out with a new model; Is there any comparable kbs I can look at?

Cooler Master Store has several styles with cherrry switches.

Not sure if there's another place to get quite as many options when buying new. Otherwise, WASD keyboards are basically the same as Filco, far as I know, which you can usually find on Amazon if nowhere else.

Thanks guys. One more question and I'll shut up; Seems the case fans I have to get for my case need a molex adapter which tees me off a bit; Why don't they include those with the fans, geez loize! Anyway, for future reference, do any of you guys know where to find a good deal on those adapters? I did order a couple of those for my pc from Amazon; this IS delaying my pc building. However my sister might need some and if I can find a better price, I'll be grateful...

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16834231070 $714 with $50 off

ASUS G53 Series G53SX-SX277V Notebook, Bilingual Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 15.6" 16GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M

good deal?

it only has a 3 month warranty, should I be worried about buying refurbished? lack of SSD a dealbreaker?

[Meresgi]

I'm always weary of refurb'd crap from newegg, but only because 2 different items I got refurb'd crapped out on me within a few months so never again.

Has anyone bought a monitor lately? I need to get a new one.

[Judah R]

I haven't bought one recently , but I have a 23" 120hz Asus monitor that I love.

I would recommend Asus's newer 120hz if you like gaming. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236313 $ 259

If 120hz isnt a big deal for you then I would go for this, for gaming... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236305 $ 159

They are not large monitors, but not sure what type you are looking for.

I bought a 2560x1440( Asus PB278q) Monitor a few months back.

Though I really enjoy the Image Quality, I really wish I bought the 144hz 1080p monitor from Asus instead. 60hz just feels so choppy to me, even in non-fps games. There are fast movements in every game.

I would suggest a 120hz+ 1080p monitor.

Thanks Judah. 23 would be okay I think- yes it would be for gaming. I wasn't sure about ASUS as far as a brand goes, so I am glad to hear that you like yours. ^_^

Any reason in particular they need to be molex? Are you out of fan headers on your motherboard?

[ptgtheman]

Not sure if you guys have tried out slicksdeals.com or techbargains.com but I find great deals all the time on them.

[ptgtheman]

I play on an Asus VG278H, and I love the 120hz. That being said you need a card that can perform, like a GTX 690 . I purchased and Dell Ultra sharp 2560x1440 and other than the colors being amazing I couldn't tell to much of a difference in the detail given the higher resolution.

So I just saw this deal for Lenovo's Yoga 2:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-IdeaP...epn=5335869999

It's like $300 cheaper than it is on Lenovo's website, and while I would like an orange one, that price is really tempting me..
