Cyber Monday Shenanigans

2016-11-28
oh yeah here we go 29,000 115 bucks for an NEC 98 inch 4k Ultra HD LED TV whoo what a bargain I didn't want to do this live because I want to you know I don't want to just be scrolling through and you guys have to just watch me scroll through things so I'm going to edit this myself and then upload it hopefully sometime in the next few hours it's 11:35 a.m. here Central Standard Time and I want to get this out before roughly 3 or 4 p.m. so let's see let's see how fast I can do this but if you want to follow along with me and see how these deals have changed over time you can click go to new eggs regular homepage and click on the cyber monday starts now things so that bar right there click on that it will take you to something that should look like this is to some similar products here starting off with the gtx 1050 ti4 140 bucks look at it I mean a $10 discount really isn't worthy of cyber monday in my personal opinion that's decent but that's still expensive for a hundred Hertz 1440 peal to my display there were a few things that I came across when I was just generally scrolling that did catch my eye I will point those out to you you see right here gtx 1070 from gigabyte for 399 bucks any gtx 1070 you can get that has a backplate and that has a decent heat dissipation for under 400 bucks is a pretty good steal so I recommend something like this if I was just building another PC from scratch and I wanted a 1070 in the rig I would probably purchase this graphics card here just because it is relatively cheap and doesn't compromise on cooling potential or a backplate which is a big deal for someone like myself we're aesthetics or a little higher on the priority list here's another one that was cool if you're looking for a whitish or silver build msi gtx 1070 quicksilver edition the 8 gigabyte 1070 of course that is not read like it usually is but that is silver I don't know how silver this is I haven't owned one but it looks to be pretty close to like just a general white coating see even the back plate is a silver metallic looking this will look excellent with their x99 titanium motherboard or even the z170 variant where that PCB is actually silver this would look really nice in a case like that it even may look okay and Walter white I don't know how again how silver it is or how wide it is but that's definitely a unique looking card and you can get it for 399 bucks whatever 400 dollars I'll go ahead and start rounding these ooh check this one out another gtx 1070 from gigabyte this one isn't as as efficient and it isn't as highly clocked as the other one was this one has only two fans here but 380 bucks so you're saving $20 and you're still getting a boost clock of 1771 megahertz that's respectable I'm only pushing 1,800 on my EVGA s these are just regular HD x 3.0 cards so they're not super clocked or for the lane additions but or anything around 1800 megahertz is still pretty solid for a 1070 and I expect this card won't get much hotter than about 70 to 75 C so really great price on a GTX in 70 that's probably the best graphics card deal so far again anything under 400 bucks remember that you can even get a hybrid gtx 1070 for just four hundred and twenty dollars granted the the GPU core and boost clocks aren't very high on this I mean you'd expect these to be in the 2000s considering they're water-cooled but you're only getting 1784 boost out of it I'm sure you could overclock these more but out of the boxes it still should be a bit higher than that I haven't noticed too many excellent processor deals you can see here an i7 68 50k this is the 6800 equivalent with 40 PCIe lanes 15 megabytes of l3 cache 500 bucks versus 609 which is apparently what it usually is it's it's not stellar and again the 8350 isn't looking too cheap either there was another processor somewhere up here the 6800 k 379 someone was telling me that at micro Center they're selling it for 320 bucks now so if the micro centers anywhere near you I recommend just driving to one you'll save money even if you have to pay for gas you'll still save money maybe not time but at least you get that enjoyable Micro Center experience just wrap your wallet and duct tape so you're not tempted to spend any more than you have to I 560 600k still 220 bucks I wouldn't buy this unless you saw it for under $200 so stay away from anything that looks pretty close to what it usually is these deals aren't really deals if you if you really look at them let's see three gigabyte GTX 1060 not that great of a deal that's a decent discount on a three hundred and four dollars for five bucks but I would just buy honestly if you're going to build an i3 rig just buy a used one for 80 bucks and you're going to get roughly the same performance the IPC increased from hospital to skylight for example is only about five or six percent so nothing stellar they're an r9 fury this is the one I purchased for the build you can check out I think it's right there I think the cards going to show up on that side I bought this for two hundred and seventy nine bucks and right now it's two hundred and sixty bucks so yeah another $20 off there and if you're interested in doing the rebate thing you can get another $20 off two hundred forty bucks for an r9 fury that will demolish an RX 480 that's a great price now if you're looking for a motherboard maybe want to upgrade your motherboard or just build a pc from scratch I recommend using new egg I think new egg is going to have better prices than Amazon will but I haven't seen I'm just in general I haven't seen any fantastic motherboard sales an okay deal on sapphire are X 480 likewise for the 1066 gigabyte yet this is a six gig card make sure you pay attention to the vram amount on the ten sixty or forty you're looking at if it's an RX 480 and it's only a four gig card i wouldn't pay any more than about 200 bucks for it and if it's an RX 488 gigabyte card about 240 dollars is your sweet spot there now this is a beautiful motherboard here if you're looking at x99 board I recommend this I might even just purchase this for myself just to have on hand but this is actually an RGB LED board so you can you can light it up you know get whatever color scheme you want going with that board and have your peripherals to match it so that's really nice and it's an all-black board so it's not going to look really ugly or anything in pretty much any case you throw it in 280 bucks it's about $40 off if you're going to buy an excellent on board I wouldn't spend any more about $300 that's just my personal take on x99 boards at this point gtx 1080 strain from gigabytes 659 bucks if you can find a GTX 1084 around $600 you're gold it's going to be tough but if you can find one and you're looking for one I would buy it now this is something interesting this is actually a decent deal on an OLED TV they're still fairly expensive because the technology is it's not new but it's new to TV so they keep the prices high just because it's a new thing but 1800 bucks plus you get $100 promotional gift card for Newegg oled so this means you're gonna have infinite contrast ratios each individual pixel produces its own light there's no LCD backlit thing going on you don't have active zones or anything like that so blacks are truly black and your picture just overall picture quality is top-notch plus check out how thin this thing is you see that yeah that's the thickness of a TV lease for the upper portion that's thinner than my macbook just FYI here we go be wary of these see pricing card things with no it's very simple I can do is click it and it'll throw it in your cart know if you can see it no you can't see it it's in a separate a separate window but this this card's price is five hundred and eighty bucks now granted this is and a blower style cooler but like I said under $600 42 X 1080 is a good good steal no matter how you look at it here we go with the Carrigg h7 you're looking for a decent CPU cooler I recommend this over the hyper 212 Evo of own both and this thing definitely takes the cake and for 30 bucks which isn't far off from the Evo's price normally this is a this is a steel bar it makes very great coolers I've played with several of them actually have the r1 Universal coming in for the AMD build but for 30 bucks this is a a recommended from me if you're looking for a super snazzy cool looking case for your new PC I recommend the NZXT s340 so the great case even though the elite does in my opinion look a bit better the SP 40 is a great more budget-friendly option check this out 70 bucks it's it's hard to find these cases for 70 bucks in stock and with free shipping so if you order through Newegg I'm pretty sure you get just this the standard three to five day shipping order five to seven days shipping for free or if you have premiere or if your Amazon customer even Amazon offers free shipping and depending on whether or not there's a sorting facility in your state you may or may not have to pay taxes on Newegg I haven't had to pay taxes period keep that in mind if you if you live outside of the United States I don't really know what to tell you here this video is more for people who live in the States just because it's it's more of a American tradition I guess I should say if you're a die-hard AMD fan looking for an FX 8350 or the light you can pick up one with a wraith cooler for $150 I believe that's only a $10 premium over the 8350 that doesn't include a Wraith cooler so if you are looking to just you know cool your CP with something it doesn't cost very much 10 bucks for rape cooler I think is worth it and oh here's the beauty this is one of the ones I was talking about if you pair this with the Quicksilver gtx 1070 that we showed a bit earlier check that out a very unique looking board similar to the a suit tough saber toothed board I reviewed in a video you can check out right here but this one is from MSI and it's a bit more silverish so not as white but it would look excellent it will look great with thats Quicksilver a gtx 1070 we saw that earlier the deep cool captain 240 X which I featured in another build you can check out right here is available for under a hundred bucks if you can pick up a 240 or 280 millimeter all in one water loop for under 100 bucks I say jump on it that's from a reliable brand now this is something I want to touch on because when it comes to reliability people tend to look at reviews to kind of get a sense of how good or not good the cooler is now something to take note of most of the people who jump on to sites like Newegg and write reviews either have some really good things to say about the cooler or really bad things to say about the cooler so it tends to kind of skew your results if you know the company sends out a hundred all-in-ones and five of them are defective chances are only those five people are going to come back and say yeah this was defective and then you're going to end up with a product appearing on the way to not be good because you know five people reviewed it and it all got one egg out of five so don't just rely on one site with its own review category to kind of judge how the coolers in general sometimes you gotta get a feel for most of these people said it was a decent cooler and it is I've owned one of these personally I still do and it's a great cooler no leaks and cools the CP very well now this was one of my favorite cases at one point I don't know why the that's weird the sights still loading but the price of this is 60 bucks and that's a great steal for an eclipse p400 this case is very similar to the NZXT s340 in almost every way plus you get a few extra features so if you're looking you know looking to to expose your pc's internals with a nice big window and you want that RGB LED support then I recommend the fantex Eclipse great case I have a review of it somewhere I don't know how many cards I can put in one of the I think five so I'll have links to this stuff in the video's description now I want to hop on over to Amazon for a second this is not a an online marketplace that's targeted towards a specific consumer it's more general and developing so it's going to be a bit tougher to find graphics cards gonna be a bit more difficult to find motherboards and CPUs at really great prices on here you would have to just be at the right place at the right time to find one here on Amazon and I'm gonna kind of run through what I what I do when I look for good deals on Amazon so let's see we're on the cyber monday page and we want to go over here and click am i covering it up nope okay let's see computers and accessories let's just see what what pops up here so it looks like a bunch of laptops and alright so check this out I actually share this on Twitter you'll have to wait a bit for this one a buddy might just purchase the i7 variant of the razor blade stealth and it is in fact a beautiful laptop I cannot wait to compare it to my macbook into an XPS 13 I'll have those videos up momentarily so this one caught my eyes well save on Dell XPS laptops we're looking for an ultrabook this will kind of be your sweet spot in my personal opinion the XPS lineup is a great lineup you get that beautiful infinity display is that what they call it infinity display pretty sure but this is a 13.3 inch laptop with a 12 inch form factor of sorts this isn't much larger in terms of length and width than my macbook my 12 inch MacBook this literally just changed from 98% claim to 100% you can't buy this anymore but this is an example of a great deal adele XPS 13.3 inch laptop with an i-5 7200 u @ 3.5 gigahertz not much different than the i7 variant it's still clocked the same I think there's just a l3 cache difference I want to say but still a gigs of ram 256 gig SSD and a qhd+ display which is actually a higher resolution than the Razer Blade stealth we just saw a bit earlier all four 11:49 which the Dell XPS lineup is always a bit more expensive than its competitors you're getting that uh you know carbon fiber keyboard cover the infinity edge display which is beautiful I think that's just an icon of Dell at this point and it's it's just a beautiful looking well-built aluminum brushed laptop for 11:49 you can see it was originally 1379 you're getting that KB Lake processor the newest and best for a great price and Amazon actually did a pretty good job grouping all of the XPS laptops into this little page here but you can see how it's kind of difficult to navigate through I guess this isn't too bad it's just a different I don't know organization strategy it's - in my opinion it's harder to sift through the stuff on Amazon that it is on Newegg just because I think it's not categorized as well it's just kind of all over the place EVGA this is my exact card here I paid 420 bucks you can get it for $400 now you see at C's you purchased this item October 17 it's howling outside if you hear some like weird cries it sounds like it's actually wind we're going to tornado watch here on November 28th maybe this is interesting so prime early access so I've Emma's on prime 2nd access as early 34:40 by 1440p nice to see on a 34 inch ultra wide I've seen 32 inch ultra whites that are only 1080p ultra wide which is pixel resolution at that point starts degrading especially we're sitting that close to the monitor now but srgb over 99% so very accurate color gamut and of course 21 by 9 form factor and curved which is pretty cool all for 550 bucks that's a decent deal considering it used to be 750 dollars i 760 700 K for $300 I recommend this for anybody looking to do any kind of multitasking if you just want to keep a few chrome tabs open while you're gaming or if you want to surf the web while your video is rendering the i7 is the processor for you I have videos that should help you uh figure out which side of the aisle you're on which side of the aisle that how the metaphor goes which whatever you know which which side you're on but if you want the i7 I'd say this is the place to get it I'm sure there are other places selling it for cheaper but if you have Amazon Prime especially you can get this thing tomorrow if you order well maybe not now when I upload the video but you can see it always tell you you know up nine minutes I got nine minutes left if I want it tomorrow that's a good deal on an i7 let's see here 600 K not much of a discount there so I probably wouldn't recommend them for for that 1,600 K again nothing stellar this price here for the 69 50 X is almost identical to the price and micro Center so I know my Cressona is typically cheaper so that's actually a decent price for Amazon it's still not catching my interest yep I mean that's that's it for Amazon nothing spectacular in the CPU arena let's see we just type in graphics card will come up here a bunch of cards that aren't appealing and then we start getting some of the newer stuff okay so 1060 1050 Ti that price is not competitive rx 460 that's these prices aren't really that great either you know being this a cyber monday you think they'd have better deals on stuff that you know is tied to computers but I haven't really found them on Amazon I guess it's just the vendors themselves aren't willing to mark down the prices but I'm just not seeing anything very compelling here on Amazon for those you ever noticed how TV prices tend to increase exponentially as diagonal size increases that's just something I've never really understood yeah not seeing too many awesome deals on TV he's either just and I hate looking through this thing I hate going back here because this organization is terrible think what is it what is deals of the day it's Cyber Monday there should be no deals of the day that they're all deals it should be what is this moto Z unlocked 500 bucks not bad for an unlocked phone okay this is a pretty good deal here now I've owned the Nikon d50 100 a majority of my videos after I got rid of that original Nikon L 840 whatever it was called were filmed on the d50 100 which is a 1080p 30fps camera this one is ad 3400 which films in 1080p 60fps or 50 or 24 30 and you get two lenses the this is the 1855 millimeter as well as the 700 excuse me 70 300 millimeter 700 yen be like a telescopic lens but this is your typical DSLR camera nothing special no fold-out screen or anything but you do get the DSLR experience you get a 24 megapixel CMOS sensor and native ISO up to 25 6 600 that's that's all standard now but the fact that you get a extra lens a 70 to 300 millimeter lens makes this deal very compelling and c-list price $1,000 er right this this cameron worth $1,000 but for 500 bucks this is a pretty good a pretty good investment I thought especially for the intro photographer and intro videographer I almost thought about picking one of these up I might do it just have a second camera on hand like from a different angle especially if I'm building a PC or something it would be nice to have that second camera there I also thought about a GoPro I don't know if I should get a GoPro or something like this more professional or more portable we'll see I guess we'll talk about that on Twitter these prices are just not as good as I remember them back in the day that's not a bad price there for 25 bucks for 128 gigabyte PNY micro SD card that's a good deal guess I spoke a little too soon there but I think what I said still stands that these deals are awesome you know if you disagree with me let me know being do get out but I do think that a majority of the deals are targeted towards consumers who aren't necessarily PC builders so I guess what we should do at this point is move on to a different site you know I was super excited for this one and then I saw that it was only 1366 by 768 it's only effectively 720p Wow just nothing spectacular even there SSDs aren't that cheap I bought mine for 39 bucks back when it wasn't a holiday maybe that's why they're keeping the prices up just because I know people are going to be looking for this stuff but then what's the point of cyber monday yeah price is here fairly expensive just off the top of my head you know when you first go to a website on Cyber Monday you should expect to see a lot of great deals upfront within the first two or three pages that you click on I'm not seeing any of that I mean even these that they're showcasing on their front page aren't really that great let's see what Micro Center has to offer maybe Micro Center can come to the rescue I expect they'll have decent deals from what you guys have been telling me I've been missing out I need to take another trip to Houston or something and check out their Micro Center deals I 560 600k check that out 180 bucks that's a good price for an i-5 unlocked SKU yep I would definitely seize that deal if you are in the vicinity of a micro Center of course most of this you have to be in store for so keep that in mind you'll have to make a drive long or far though I still think it's worth it to save that kind of money on a processor and potentially other components for your PC here's the one I purchased recently the FX 8320 II for 80 bucks this is a good deal while I don't recommend FX processor simply because they are outdated if you're looking to build a you know ultra budget PC for somebody who's not looking to upgrade anytime soon they just need something to surf the web with and play the occasional game 80 bucks is a compelling offer for a 8 core processor now for you Apple lovers out there I'm sure most of you watching this channel aren't fans of Apple I kind of got that idea when you you know just automatically dislike my Apple videos just because you happen to be no hate no hate just pointing out something I observed an Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13.3 inch screen of course and i-5 it believe this is the 50/50 200 you this yeah this isn't the skylake version this isn't the newest one but you are getting retina display hundred twenty eight gig SSD and eight gigs of ram for just over a thousand dollars I think this is a really good price for the last gen macbook not the newest gen but the last gen so you're still getting those there's a you know typical USB ports and the light you even get an HDMI port with that that's a little strange I don't remember that being on the on the last gen MacBook but yeah you can all that good stuff for just over a thousand dollars that's a good price let's see ddr4 if you happen to be looking for some RAM is micro Center the place to go in my experience personally they haven't had the best deals on Ram they just they just never have let's see power supplies this can be iffy for a store like this I purchased one that I found even cheaper at Best Buy that was just my fault for not doing my research beforehand now prices aren't that great on power supplies and if you're if you're doubting whether or not I can actually sift through this much in for that quick I am I'm just skimming through I'm looking at the wattage looking at the brand looking at the efficiency rating and then checking the price and kind of skimming through each each row as I scroll so let's see here Intel motherboards Wow their site is slow today I think I think a lot of people are on micro centers website right now okay well micro Center is giving us issues we're going to move back on a new way I'd say this is your best bet for most computer components at least in the States so this actually gives you the option of orienting your graphics card vertically versus horizontally and it's got a window that kind of curves up and over so check us now this is from the from the where's the top-down view it is right there yes check it out so from the top the window actually curves over the top panel you can kind of see down into the case from from above if you happen to put your PC on the floor or something but it's just a unique aesthetic I like how Thermaltake did that definitely sets them apart and it looks like you got plenty of space in there I'd like to get my hands in this case do it maybe a case review and a build inside of it so yeah what I'm getting from this is that cyber monday really isn't what it used to be at least from what I can tell it's not as exciting I'm not seeing as many awesome deals and the things that I used to be interested in you know ipod touches you know the mp3 players cameras GoPros home theater systems things like that I'm not I'm not seeing those deals like I used to what I am seeing is quite a number of 4k TV deals and a few monitor deals and everything else is marked down but not a lot I mean these are standard discounts that kind of run all year long so nothing special for the holiday if you want to call it that so that's how I'm going to end the cyber monday shenanigans video on a bit of a sour note I just don't remember these deals being as weak as they are I remember my brother last year built his entire PC for basically half off you got graphics cards power supplies all that stuff for much cheaper than what they usually run but right now even on Newegg I'm not finding those deals or a few of them the other decent deals but they're not like whoa you're going to buy this right now those kinds of deals which used to be what made Cyber Monday so awesome and so exciting not seeing those exciting deals anymore let me know if you have any deals in mind that you find on various sites link those in the in the comments below help other people out and I'll be sure to upload another video tomorrow on my new light kit that I bought from Studio Pro I'll give you a full on like setup guide and you know the differences between having them and not having them especially for a camera like my FC 1000 which isn't the best camera out there needs a lot of light to get that picture looking nice and nice and crisp if you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up give it a thumbs down if you look it up so if you hate everything but light be sure to click Subscribe in hammer to stay tuned for the video I just talked about this is Salazar studio happy hunting online best of luck pretty sure you're going to need it unfortunately thanks for learning with us you
