Best Time for PC Components?

Is there any particular time of year that sales occur on PC components? or did I miss the boat at the EOFY?
Building a new gaming/VR rig, don't wish to reuse anything from my old rig, so the more bits and pieces I can pick up on special, there more I can put towards other goodies.

    good time now when u using u need it okay. GPU expense now but u need it buy seconds

  • Computer prices aren't seasonal, you are likelier to get better deals around april/may for end of financial year sales, and around november/december for xmas/boxing day sales. Black friday sales for the usa, which has spread here abit.

    • Starting to see that, looks like I might be waiting a few months, at least for gpu.

    Black Friday. With AUD getting strong, you could buy a lot of components from Newegg and Amazon and even though the shipping takes away from the savings abit, you can still save roughly 10~20% depending on what kind of deals you can get.

  • Not a good time for ddr4 ram and graphics cards. I think the price for gpus will drop, but I have no idea if ram prices will

  • I'm on the same boat. The prices mid time last year were the best, if only I was planning to build a PC then.

    • It's gotten ridiculous. I'm trying to do a custom loop on a wall mount case, so every bit saved adds up quick. Guess I'll just hold onto the case for a few months and see if things change before the end of the year.

    When your gaming neighbour is out.
