Hello Shadow20;

To get the best prices it's usually best to wait till a week before you plan to buy. A lot of the combo deals, rebates and sales we could list now won't be available near the end of April.

Also if you edit the title to include your budget range ($450) I think it will help you attract the right people to your topic.
