Paul's Top Black Friday Tech Deal Picks!

2015-11-27
going terribly wrong I hope that's not the case but I have actually been spending a lot of time starting last night which was Black Thursday no Thanksgiving it's called Thanksgiving but starting last night and also this morning I've been looking up a bunch of tech deals the idea being to share those with you guys then being curated by me and also hopefully a little bit more along the lines of technology computers all that good stuff I actually also have a bunch of links that are down in this video's description so if you guys go down there you can click on the links and go directly to these tech deals and hopefully all of them will remain in stock and available for a decent period of time it is actually Black Friday right now it is late morning and a lot of these deals are going to be proceeding throughout the weekend and then Cyber Monday as well granted it is that really super busy time of the year so we never know what's gonna sell out what's still gonna be available but hopefully all this stuff should be good all right let's move right along and dive into it now I need to make a couple notes here right up at the front one is that I have not received any money or compensation or anything like that for any of these links I'm giving you guys none of the stuff is paid or solicited the only way that I am benefiting from this other than your hopefully love and adulation is the Amazon links are using my Amazon affiliate code so if you click on those or just click on my Amazon affiliate code before you do shopping this year a little kickback helps me out a lot and really appreciate that other than that though none of this stuff is paid so I want to point that out not I don't like doing that stuff alright yeah late morning it is late morning as chat espana but uh it's still like morning here it's still Black Friday I promise all right so I'm gonna go over some PC hardware components component at the time CPU motherboard graphics card all those get things I also have some monitors and peripherals towards the end so if you're watching this in the future so free to jump forward and and check those out or if you watch in live hey thanks for joining me I'm streaming live to my youtube channel okay I'll start with CPUs shall we kind of right at the top of the game jumping over here and tigerdirect changed this deal like literally I don't know what time they did it but I set this deal up before and it's it's not really there anymore it's one of those site wide promos that Tiger probably found out about and then they drop the price of the CPU so the CPU was 215 and then you could get $25 off 100 if you use Visa the check out at Tiger Direct and then you could get this for about 189 as of now it's gonna be more like 200 which isn't as much of a good deal but it's still there Tiger Direct apparently after being sold for 12 million dollars it's just trying to clear out the inventory but not trying hard enough damn it CPU deals are actually pretty hard to come across but fortunately not all is lost here's an AMD deal over on new egg for the FX 8350 quite capable eight core CPU 150 bucks this has been a solid performer for a lot of people granted it's not the newest architecture or anything like that but if you are an AMD fan or you just like the company want to support them or you just want a pretty decent deal on a 8 corp CPU check that out ambi FX 8350 for 150 dollar ok moving along really realistically guys if you really want a good deal on a cpu you should live next to a Micro Center I've said this many times before but they have like doorbuster deals all the time on their CPUs so go to my Crescenta and find a walk-in store I apologize for any of you guys who can't do that just like you know get up and go if it's not local to you I have one about a 20-minute drive away 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic and it's worth it for me a lot of times to go down there and do that they have stuff going on like an i-5 6500 for 200 bucks 4690k here for 180 dollars like for real 180 you can even get a 6600 K for an actual reasonable price of $230 anyway I'll stop teasing you guys who aren't in a closed location to micro Center with those let's move on to GPUs though is actually I wasn't able to find a ton of good GPU deals until I just started specifically searching at Newegg and not looking for featured stuff but using the drill down menus to find stuff so here's a msi gtx 970 this is the black and white version it's overclocked and holy crap this is a good deal first off you got to click see price and cart you know that's always a good thing why is my phone going off um to 290 is what you get this like out of the gate and there's a $30 million rebate card so a GTX 970 for two hundred and sixty dollars total kinda nice that's a pretty significant deal since we are dealing today I am gonna be including some mail and rebates and that kind of thing so please bear with me on that if you're really being frugal and trying to get a good deal it's a good way to get a much better deal on a graphics card or something like that speaking of which here's on gtx 980 these are typically 558 dollars you there's been some deals that have been down in the 500 ish 510 dollar range but how about four hundred and forty dollars like what you pay and then also a thirty dollar man rebate card for gtx 980 from msi this is also their g1 gaming for their gaming 4g versions not to you on gaming that's gigabyte and $30 million rebate card makes this four hundred and ten dollars all all together III think that's a pretty damn good deal for a gtx 980 i did want to include some AMD options here as well so i was went hunting for those and here's an AR 9 380 the Strix Edition from Asus which is a very nice card I mean all these cards from Asus are very well designed they have nice coolers on them they stay nice and quiet constantly well rated although this one only has two feedback but I'm anyway 170 dollars and a $30 million rebate card again very nice deal so 140 dollars total for an r9 380 it's a 2 gig cart so bear that in mind that that is probably the biggest drawback for this particular one but still $140 for some really nice performance there I wouldn't recommend this card if you're going above 1080 but if you're on a budget 1080 graphics card alright let's move on to motherboards there are some good motherboards if you're thinking about skylake here's a fantastic fantastic deal for a skylake motherboard from gigabyte this is the Gaz one 70 X gaming 3 ATX motherboard so says the full z170 chipset which means you can overclock with it this isn't even like a cut-rate z170 board it actually has some decent power delivery components and that kind of things can actually overclock with it and this is on sale for 160 on B&H photo video right now but you can get a $10 million rebate which is listed right here and you can do $50 off so bear that in mind the promo code you want to use this BFM be G IgA and you get 50 freakin dollars off of this thing so the total comes to $100 and free shipping for is for like a not bare-bones z170 board like a good one from gigabyte with like the metal reinforced PCIe slots in that kind of thing if you are on a budget you might be looking at some of those 4690k options for example the slightly older Haswell or Devil's Canyon refresh if has well in that case you would want to z97 board here's one from Asus this is over on new egg and this one is a updated version for z97 which means it's got the USB 3.1 it is LGA 1150 so don't buy this we're going for a skylake processor it's got like m2 in there and it includes a $40 million rebate card so five bucks cheaper than that z170 board $95 total after that mail-in rebate card nice for a an asus z97 board asus you know they do a good job let's move on to memory though some really fantastic memory deals actually got the pointed to several of these through slick deals so I'm gonna include their link as well in the description but here's a g.skill ripjaws X kit for $30 to buy to buy for gig eight gigs total ddr3 1600 which is fine you don't need anything faster than that unless you're relying on an eye GPU and you might want to go faster but thirty freaking dollars to buy for gig that is a fantastic deal for g.skill if you're in the ddr4 market if you've just some jumped-up to x99 or skylake z170 for example you will want ddr4 well you need ddr4 here's a 16 gig kit to buy eight gigs of G scale this is the Ripjaws 5 series which has this kind of fancier new heatsink design and 75 bucks for that you can get a slightly faster version of this for like three or four more dollars the 2400 speed and honestly there's there's quite a few deals going on a memory here so here's the slick deals article on that and this has a bunch more listed here again this is done in the video's description if you guys went ahead over there and check that out because they have a whole listing and I didn't want to go over all them I didn't want spend too much time on memory let's move on to storage I only am really I should have looked up some hard drives there was a couple 4 terabyte hard drive deals out there but I didn't take any of them up I have a couple SSD deals though SanDisk apparently is liquidating some of their slightly older SSD stocks so you can get the 240 gig SSD Plus which is not the fastest SanDisk SSD by any means but even a like mid-range SSD is going to be night and day difference if you're upgrading from mechanical in particular and 240 gigs is really nice amount and 60 dollars with free shipping like buy three of them or four I don't know buy a few of them maybe $60 for a 240 gig SSD again not the fastest but still quite nice over on Adorama they have the 960 gig version this is the ultra 2 which is a little bit faster than that and then the Plus that we saw still not as fast as the extreme extreme to that they have but this one's $200 for 960 gigs granted a little bit more expensive but a 1 terabyte or practically one terabyte SSD is super super nice to have yeah ok I'm and for it for those of you in chat asking for UK deals I'm sorry I don't have any of those lined up these are all fairly pretty much us I don't know they celebrated Black Friday in the UK do they so maybe it's starting to bleed over is it you're getting international Black Friday shopping mania everywhere anyway let's move on to suitcases I just got a couple cases this one's actually directly from the Corsair website but they have a nice deal going it's the obsidian 550d I'm gonna take a supporter and just let you guys look at this picture for a while this case has been out it's not new by any chance but I have actually built in this case which is the reason I picked it out and it's really well built I like the obsidian series from Corsair it has all the features you would you would want it's got USB 3.0 on the front plenty of room removable drive cages and it's got the same inner frame that a lot of the Obsidian cases use so yeah I built in this it's really quiet too it's got the kind of closed off front panel anyway 80 bucks for that I believe it also has free shipping although don't quote me on that one I've not shopped at the Corsair website and then I found this little guy over at Newegg the fantex ATX mid tower and the end loop row em in and through I like how a new egg puts all these words before the actual title of the case on everything anyway and through proem a very full-featured case from fantex if you guys have looked at fantex cases they throw lots in there this is a nice option for $60 fully black painted interior and all that good stuff again click the link if you want to look at more stuff like you know it's got dust filters and all that the build quality on the fantex cases is not always quite as sturdy as some of the ones that we see from like Corsair and Coolermaster but the trade-off is you do get a really really nice feature set for that and 60 bucks for that one it's very nice let's move on to power supplies I only have one for you one power supply but it's a good one in fact actually the EVGA supernova 850 watt was on sale at Newegg earlier this morning and then it stopped at some point so that's why I'm going with this one but this is the supernova 650 watt which is going to be just fine for pretty much anyone who's not running a dual card configuration even up to like a fury X or 980ti this this power supply will handle 80 plus platinum which is why I picked it out EVGA which means that they have like nice all-black cabling so it looks pretty and $100 is the sale price and then a $30 million rebate card makes it $70 total so if you guys want a nice solid power supply that will last you a while through multiple builds and that kind of thing an 80 plus platinum like literally if you're going from a non eighty plus rated power supply to this and you run your PC a decent amount you will notice like your power bill drop efficiency is very important like that anyway let's move on to some other stuff outside the PC anyway if you guys want to take all those those parts and put them all together you could probably build a pretty decent system I was going to do a full build but I I was taking too much time just getting this set up today and I just wanted to move forward alright let's look at some some monitors shall we picked out a couple ultra wines and this is probably specifically because I have been working on my review for this monitor back here the Acer predator X 34 which is a beautiful monitor very expensive in that video should be coming out this weekend I'm working on editing it right now but because of that and because of the size and the resolution of it the size and resolution I was like man 34 inch ultra wide is a really nice sweet spot it's big it's not as difficult to run as a full full 4k monitor it fills your frame of view and it doesn't feel like some of the 1080 ultra wide so that just seemed a little bit too small and then and whatever like it's it's a nice size so other 34 inch ultra woods that I have listed here this one's from LG this is for sale over on Adorama and it's a it's it's 600 and then there's a $50 mail-in rebate so five hundred and fifty dollars for this LG 21 by nine ultra wide this one's not curved but you know you don't really need it to be curved and I don't know a whole lot about this particular monitor I just know that it's probably they're probably all using that same IPS panel honestly the curved and the NAM curved ones o out of stock oh crap well sorry guys this one's out of stock but I also wanted to show you this Dell because it was also a pretty nice price but it's out of stock this one you can get down to 650 dollars by using a code which I had listed but I've lost track of where I am on my my notes so yeah anyway it's sold out so sorry it's like yes about that I wanted to have no sold out products in here but you know stuff all right here's another monitor from monoprice this is actually a monitor that my wife is getting and I when she was looking at it she was like is this a good option I was like let me look 27-inch 2560 by 14 and it's IPS it's not super it's like 60 Hertz so it's not really fast response time but it's for its it's for production and colored EPS and all that kind of stuff but $250 for 27 inches you can find some other 27-inch 2560 by 1440 monitors they are usually by like eunuchs and some of the other brands like that some of the Korean brands to come over which sometimes have QC issues and that kind of thing not our price is located in the US and stuff so 250 for that if you don't need the super fast response time or refresh rate I'm sorry 60 Hertz this is a really nice panel and it can step you up from 1080 without necessarily breaking the bank to 50 for that one and if you're on a budget I got a bargain here from Acer this is over on Amazon and this one is $100 for 24 inch LED backlit monitor this one's not going to be super awesome but I would say especially if you're if you're using anything sub 1080 right now jumping up to this for a hundred bucks 24 inches of decent size I think it's gonna be great option so nice nice budget monitor option there for anyone who's interested some more peripherals here though this was a really nice deal actually this one was also available over on Amazon I believe but they seem to have changed the price this morning this is an audio technica ath m50x pro monitoring headphones really nice headphones as well as a blue yeti mic together for one hundred and seventy dollars that's a hundred and twenty nine dollars off MSRP and like I said Amazon had this for 159 earlier but it seems to have gone away but Adorama still has it it's a nice little combo there and anyone who's maybe getting into streaming or something like that you get the the mic and you got the headphones and I think that'd be a good option okay I noticed that mechanical RGB keyboard seemed to be about 20 bucks off I don't wanna say cross the board but a lot of them Corsairs seem to be like in the hundred and four th dollar range instead of the 160 to 170 dollar range that they usually are so here's the case 70 very popular one RGB mechanical keyboard down to 140 right now MSRP is 170 if you're into that I'm also I just recently did a video on this keyboard which is why I also spotted it this is down to 150 from I'm sorry 130 which is 30 bucks off the price it was selling out which was 160 so if you want an actual genuine and Cherry MX keyword seems to be a good time to do that and that is all yeah that's all those are all of my tech picks again I'd like to say I have looked at every single website that exists on the internet and found you all the best deals but I can't quite say I did that I did a lot of research though and these are all things that I their products that I feel like are good products their prices that I feel are pretty compelling compared to what's been available otherwise and hopefully you guys have found maybe a few deals here if you're feeling like the pickings were slim for Black Friday so far but remember it's just started we got the whole weekend we got Cyber Monday coming too so I will encourage you guys
