Good buy?

Antec 750w PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371025) - $80

Think I should buy this now or wait until black friday for better deals? was looking at Corsair PSUs... but this one is 80 bucks off! lol

That seems to be the right price (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=58&Description=&Type=&N=100007657+600014023&IsNodeId=1&srchInDesc=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58429&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58430&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58431&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58432&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58433&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58461&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58435&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58436&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58420&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58421&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58422&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58423&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58425&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58426&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58427&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58428&PropertyCodeValue=4097:43843&PropertyCodeValue=4097:43845&PropertyCodeValue=4097:30089&PropertyCodeValue=4097:43844), actually? Perhaps I'm not seeing something here. :think:

I am not sure what you mean... if you look at the price it says it was 159.99 originally. Bascially was wondering if that was a good deal or If I should just wait.

Seems like a pretty good deal. It's over $100 everywhere else.

Well I guess the question is why is that one originally $160 while others are not (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100007657%20600014023&IsNodeId=1&PropertyCodeValue=1314:58429,1314:58430,1314:58431 ,1314:58432,1314:58433,1314:58461,1314:58435,1314: 58436,1314:58420,1314:58421,1314:58422,1314:58423, 1314:58425,1314:58426,1314:58427,1314:58428,4097:4 3843,4097:43845,4097:30089,4097:43844&bop=And&CompareItemList=58|17-341-018^17-341-018-TS,17-341-040^17-341-040-TS,17-371-025^17-371-025-TS,17-171-037^17-171-037-TS,17-171-053^17-171-053-TS)? I'm just wondering if they've done that to make it seem like a good deal when it's really just an average deal.

[billygoat333]

Ahh I see what you are saying. the 160 is def. a full retail price. It is definitely not what they were selling it at before, but it IS a gold certified bronze 750w PSU... and for that price not bad. The ones I were looking at were ~100 bucks.

[Lothair]

Yeah I'd say it's a good deal either way. But I'd also say compare different models that are similar in spec and price to make sure you get the best deal. Don't buy it just because it says it's $80 off is all I'm saying.

This (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018) seems to be a pretty good deal. It's originally $130 but it's being offered currently for $80. It also has a mail-in-rebate which will drop it down to $55. Furthermore, it comes with a 4GB OCZ Rally2 USB Flash Drive. That's only about a $10 value, but if you're planning on buying one you can technically write that off as another $10 off since that's $10 you saved. The total then would be $45.

The Antec is technically better, though. It really just depends on what you want and/or need.

That's not too shabby at all.

Just picked up a 1000w Kingwin power supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121068&cm_re=kingwin_1000w-_-17-121-068-_-Product) for 100 bucks... glad I waited. Definitely overkill for what I am going to use it for... but hey, you can never have too much Powahh!!!
