Consider purchasing some components?
It can become a bad habit to keep unused components. I understand the reasoning, if you don’t require a fresh gaming PC, hold off until newer, improved, and more affordable models are available.
However, my setup relies on an ASRock6 Z97 and Intel I7-4790K, so I’m leaning toward upgrading.
I’m considering purchasing items from Amazon – AMD 7800 3DX for $342 (not listed there), Seagate 8TB HD for $110, Samsung 990 4TB SSD for $280 (no heatsink, likely unnecessary). GPU, memory, and case remain unselected.
Intended for use with an LG G3 TV arriving soon, but I need to plan a comfortable gaming setup from my couch (not fond of controllers).
The thing with deals/offers is that you need to take the dive yourself. Some people end up with buyers remorse after the product was purchased.
You could wait it out a little longer and see if prices drop in the next month(during Black Friday), provided you're able to wait for that long. To me, it seems like a good buy but what about the rest of your parts? You mentioned the processor, HDD, SSD. I'm not a fan of buying parts one at a time over time since you are sitting on money that isn't being utilized. Rather buy parts in groups.
Are you planning on recycling your PSU?
On second thoughts; please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.
Hi, please include that list. I was just mentioning a few items. I think I need a new PSU, maybe a 1000W one if I want a top GPU. It can go either way. Sometimes you find a good deal you really like; other times, I bought a 980 SSD in November for around $200, but it dropped in price quickly after that (still not used).
The LG G3 evo oled offers 100hz native 4k with VRR and freesync, presumably premium features. For GPU performance, a 4090 is suggested if you can afford it; 4080 is a more practical choice. If ray tracing isn't important, consider the 7900XTX or 7900XT. The 7800XT is recommended for its 60fps in 4k. GPU Benchmarks and Hierarchy 2023 lists various cards ranked from Nvidia to Intel.

Buy components only when necessary and intend to utilize them immediately.
A favorable offer tends to persist rather than disappear.
They frequently signal an upcoming upgrade that offers greater value.
PC parts typically improve in value and efficiency as time passes.
If you delay using them, you risk discovering a superior alternative and later wishing you acted faster.
A delay between acquisition and application might mean missing the warranty or return period without confirming the purchase was valid.
Typically, the sales focus on items that were already discounted or not selling well for other reasons. Often, these are comparable products offering similar pricing. Some deals are set with the hope that customers will buy additional items to complete their purchase. There might be a reduction in CPU prices, but motherboards won't be discounted to balance the cost. Or memory prices could drop slightly. Outside of a few storage-related promotions, nothing particularly stood out during this event.
It seems to be quite expensive. It's currently $140, similar to what I spent on a wired mechanical keyboard with a numpad a few years ago.
taking into account that the sole other low-profile option was keychron, which is listed at £90 on their site, I think it's a reasonable offer for 1ms latency wireless logitech. I’m not experiencing any regrets, please keep it as is XD
