There’s a comm with PC gaming hardware deals. Mac user here, but I’ve seen some pretty good deals. Haven’t built in 10 years but the itch never fully goes away. I think I saw an i7 for like $300, couldn’t tell what generation though. That’s not bad. I think my 4th gen Xeon was like $275? I prefer Xeon to i7 but my preferences are years out of date.
