Best Time to Buy PC Parts

Late at night, I guess?

Black Friday?(benefits you if you live in US or Canada, here in EU most of the sales were complete crap)

There really isn't best time. Sales can be good, but often they are for clearing old stock. There is always something better coming out and things are getting cheaper.

Around December. Newegg has massive black Friday sales and Xmas sales. As well as other sites like amazon and tigerdirect. I think Newegg also has a good summer sale around June/July.

If you're from US then Black Friday, look for some nice deals on amazon or newegg.

top right corner pick your country then pick the parts you want and will tell you where you can get each part cheapest. i used it to build my comp

In my experience Black Friday and the Winter Holiday season has generally been the best time to purchase parts.

black Friday or boxing day/week, also NCIX has weekly sales/weekend sales - the prices have been lower than what they were on boxing day

Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Buy from Newegg and you should get some good deals. My build was a couple hundred dollars cheaper because of it.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the times you'll find great discounts. That's if you are trying to build you're system all at once. If you already have a gaming PC and want to do updates, then put the parts you want on a watchlist and get them when they go on sale.

If you go by what pcpartpicker.com is saying, it looks like you find price drops in late January. I've usually done my shopping piece by piece, however, whenever I can find a good sale on a particular part, so I can't say definitively when "the best time" is.

Here is what I would build if I had the money.

Well, I got my PC parts right between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, wait till Black Friday as others said I guess.

I think the whole month following Thanksgiving in the USA is best. After that, you'll find unsold stock being dumped a month before Valentines Day. Sign up for email ads from newegg.com and you'll get 50-80% off alerts for products outside these holidays.

For individual parts, I would say to watch for product announcements and releases. I expect DDR3 RAM prices to tank a few months after DDR4 comes out, for example. And when GTX 800 and R7/R9 300 series start to appear, expect the mid and mid-high GTX 700 and R7/R9 200 series to fall in price as well.

Sorry for bumping, but...
Buy now Amazon 50% PC components and Peripherals sale including an i5-4670K, too bad only in US they make this kind of sales :(
