a PC world fans Adam here and Elena Amazon Prime day has just been announced
when are the dates it's gonna be July 15th and July 16th which are the third
Monday and third Tuesday of July okay mark your calendars because there could
be some good PC related deals on Elena I was thinking about upgrading I'm gonna
go through each component oh yes like like we did last year tell tell me
exactly if I should wait or if I should it doesn't matter
so CPU maybe okay maybe what does that mean we have Verizon 3000 coming out
like a week beforehand yeah so so here's the thing I would say for a prime day
overall in general the pickings are much slimmer when it comes to like
exceptionally good deals but they do exist so it's nothing compared to Black
Friday yeah so like a black friday where it's
just it rains good deals and you just have to like wade through all them to
find the like the ultra gems yeah he's directly oh there's like a handful look
good just so like last year for example there was like one good cpu deal in my
opinion ocher because I always look so like the best deals right that's that's
me mm-hmm and it was like I think it was a Verizon seven 2700 this is standard
2,700 at the X version but it was it almost like $100 off or just like some
very very solid number that if you bought a motherboard also on sale it
came out to like the total list price the 2700 but that's also because as last
year rise and launched earlier in the year we're literally almost that rise
and launch codes oh yeah I don't think we'd see any rise in 3000 series sales
just yet it would be foot maybe two though it would be for the 2000 series
or you know second gen risin maybe some Intel parts maybe just because they're
gonna have to fight back somehow yeah there's but again it's all maybe I
don't know what to tell you definitively just may be great alright I see how this
is gonna go so next up GPU should I buy now or wait till prime date probably not
worth waiting if you really want your GPU now last year there really weren't
any good deals on GPUs that might change this year but again the the amount of
good deals are going to be small enough that maybe you'll feel a little terrible
but I don't think it's like Black Friday where you're gonna feel completely awful
for not waiting okay what about power supplies if you're in the budget and
more likely worth waiting for last year I think the only good deal I
saw was Holly one those like white raped Ivan bronze rated 500 watt power
supplies I mean still good branding with EVGA okay definitely more into tour but
to build not necessarily like you know mid or beefier than that depends on
budget all right how about motherboard uh maybe so it really
depends on the type of model you're looking for last year there was like
maybe for good deals but that it was like 1b 450 to ZZZ 370 and then 1x 370
so it just kind of depends what you're looking for and what features that
you're looking for okay maybe worth waiting once again 570 is
probably not gonna be anywhere on the list alright
storage which is kind of a broad category so break definitely yes yes
wait don't worry just one of those things that during prime day and even
Black Friday on Amazon tend to be good in terms of like the quantity
she likes the selection so last year it was like hard disk drives like ranging
all the way from like one terabyte to I think 12 terabytes if you wanted even
like a big drive through is a decent price not as good as Black Friday but
close enough SSDI us a lot of SATA SSDs
like one nvme SSD but I think this year given how us is the prices I've been
falling in general across the board over the different types I think you'll see
more and vme drives okay even portable storage also on sale like both SSD and
hard disk drive variety so storage yes I think it's worth waiting for
okay I actually do need to upgrade my PCIe SSD my mega storage drive but I
have so okay wait what about random access memory all right 1992 called
um maybe I didn't really see any Ram deals last year but also last year it
was not a great time for Ram prices so they're starting to improve now so I
think you know supply is getting better all that kind of stuff possibly could be
worth waiting for but again possibly if you're just raring to go with your build
I don't think you'll regret the deals you're getting through new and other
vendors right now okay cool I've got a couple more left here cases it depends
so it's another maybe so last year there was only maybe two case deals that I
liked and they were both for that that Corsair crystal series okay so it was
like the larger one I think what's like the 570 and the 470 I forget the exact
numbers unfortunately okay and those were on sale I'm not like super heavy
discounted but enough that it was worth getting during prime day as opposed to
just buying any old time so if you have a very specific case in mind
not worth waiting for in my opinion but if you just need something to house your
PC you just want to see if you can get a discount and if you can get to discuss
um that looks nice ok alright how about monitors maybe but a strongly
leaning towards yes so if you're in the market for something that's a little
more expensive so it's you know an ultra-wide or its HD or 4k there was
only a few monitor deals I liked last year but they were for those kind of
monitor okay okay so if you're looking for
something like like 1080 P budget probably not worth waiting for go ahead
and just buy it you know now especially if you see a decent sale through like
micro Center Newegg even just okay looks like the last one peripherals yeah so
these are mice keyboards heads that kind of stuff right yes um
mice keyboards yes a lot of good deals last year on mechanical keyboards a lot
of popular models we're on sale same for mice I would say for like gaming
headsets and that kind of thing it's more of a maybe there were some good
deals on there but not necessary for the headsets that are really popular or like
you know are beloved by audio enthusiasts okay what about Windows 10
om keys what about Windows 10 Elena um possibly but I don't think so I think
it's just you know you do what you got to do I don't know if this is you trying
to plug our coverage of Windows 10 keys here we have another video about how to
get Windows 10 maybe for cheap so you know maybe Prime Day is one of those
options all you gotta watch the video oh
dang it so be sure to stay locked to PC WorldCom proper we probably won't do too
many video deals because it just takes too long to make a video and post it so
text oh yeah if you want that check it out over on PC WorldCom
