junkeymonkey unless you track the pieces of items you may like you really don't know if its a real sale price or marked up and shown as sale price that's higher that it was at regular price -- I see this at egg like a board I was interested in was 159 just ahead of blk.fri it went to 220 and then on sale day it was 179 .. so it buyer bewareReply -

Has an unlocked i7-4790k paired with an R7 250? Good lord. Why are we even promoting this? -
f-14 sad as it is this has been standard practice for all retailers since over 20 years. if you watch year long the prices get jacked up 30%-50% at the end of august typically so they can go on sale for 10-20% once winter starts and then for black friday and beyond til feb. they are slightly over the august price. Feb is when the better deals happen as the new year models force close outs and inventory reductions on whatever is left over from the previous year.Reply

alidan @junkeymonkeyReply
you have the internet, google the part you are looking at and see if you can get it new cheaper. the only way that can screw you is if there is legitimate price fixing, -
sincreator @junkeymonkey I noticed the exact same thing on NCIX, I was looking at the MSI GD-65 Z87 over there a week ago and it was on sale for 149.99, and no MIR. Now it shows 209.99 on sale for 169.99(149.99 after MIR). I guess I should not of waited for Black Friday. lol.Reply -
elbert Due to the fact the 32nm process is very mature I dont think there is much physical difference between the FX8370 and the FX8320. Newegg just put the FX8320 in the sale for $119 so over clock it a bit and you saved enough for the after marked heat sink. May I suggest the 212 evo.Reply -
junkeymonkey I don't know how trust worthy pc parts picker is on there graph of price history .but when I think I may want something I try to trend it to see like I tried to show in this thread and in the last 2 posts in it on this card and how I seen egg do on itReply
