Default Upgrading Computer

Is now a good time to do this? I'm going to be upgrading my board, CPU, ram and video card, otherwise the HDD/PSU and tower are all fine. I know there's usually times when brand new stuff comes out and I don't want to miss the boat and upgrade at a weird time

Going to be some AWESOME GPU deals coming up... with the sales and price drops that came though Newegg this past month, it will only get better.

I'm looking at a new 480 or 1060 6 gb card most likely, hoping for low $200

The best thing you can do for upgrade in terms of bang for buck is SSD

I'm in the same boat. What sites do you guys recommend checking on BF/CM? Definitely have newegg and NCIX on my list but just wondering there were others I should be considering too.

My purely anecdotal opinion is the last few years have seen Newegg have stronger sales on storage and graphics.

Memory Express often has good deals. They will put them up the day before, I think.

You can get a slightly advance look at some of the sales if you follow RedFlagDeals.
