This thread will attempt to provide a place to discuss past/present/future PC gaming deals. While mainly focusing on Steam games, any standout sales may also be presented. I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

See this POST for links to store sale pages, threads of interest and other tools to help you become a more informed PC game shopper.

Buy whichever dirty PS/2 eMachines-branded keyboard is sitting in a pile in the "Electronics" section of the Goodwill.

I would if my Goodwill had them. There's one further away that puts those out but it's way too far.

Do we want to know what he's been doing that the keyboard needs changing? Are the keys sticky from all those 'visual novels'?

IG Sexy Girls bundle happened.

I don't need a new keyboard (though the one I have now has a few broken keys), but always curious when deals pop up for them. If that Logitech ever hits $50 again it might be the one I go for.

I was actually asking for the opinion of those who had used the TactX, but I guess you had to take your head out of your ass long enough to feel the need to be helpful. (This is how we start CAG fights, right? :))

We need to lure more console people here. They get butthurt super easily. Us grizzled PC vets have way too thick skin.

Peeps be like 'I was with yer mom last night' and we be like 'yawn. Whatevs'.

Let's start talking about how Hatsune Miku sux or something.

 
Because everyone else already realized you can get idiots to pay for shit without knowing what it is, Green Man Gaming is joining in.

Actually, everything you just said is wrong. EldritchOnRye is a console person and he has thick skin and hasn't gotten butthurt yet. I just invalidated your weak, floppy argument. Floppy like your mom's tittles. Hatsune Miku does suck, but not as much as your mom did last night.

Somebody buy a couple of these so I don't have to be the guinea pig. :)

You know what's even sweeter? They may contain Steam, Origin, or Uplay keys. I hope you get all Crapsule games.

Edit:

20% code doesn't work on it.

Double Edit:

Someone post this on Reddit so those fools can report what they got.

Triple Edit:

Motoki's mom's titties are so floppy they fit in a 5.25'' drive.

That shit's too valuable to dump. They'll dump crappy bundle fodder I bet like Walden and the Werewolf and Woodle Tree.

Yea that's true.

Also, I'd all but forgotten about GMG since the credit wipe (conveniently right before they ran some decent sales). Plus the whole getting banned from r/gamedeals thing.

I'll be honest, if the 20% off coupon worked I might have been tempted to dumbassbro a five pack of mystery games.

Do it...and like it! I did the humble monthly bundle for January and anything good in there I already owned, so I am too chickenshit to waste another $6.

 
Since so many people seem to be willing to throw money away, we should pool all our bundle fodder extras together and start a CAG business. Steaming Unpredictable Keys! Pay us $5 for 5. What a deel!

 
A day late, but my mall used to have a Babbages and an Electronics Boutique. It also had two book stores, and two arcades.

First PC I personally bought would be this. Still have it too.

Some of it is undoubtedly the deal in question... A 60 dollar game for a buck, or a handful of bucks, is well something to get excited about...

That said... Its the best Dirt game since the "original" dirt.... (The series use to be Colin McRae: Rally, then Colin McRae: Dirt, and then just Dirt) and its just got an amazing feel to it. I've only done the first event, all four stages, but there are some drop offs that will make your butt pucker as you speed by them (or just try valiantly to navigate them.) which is amazing considering its just a video game.

It's a huge step up from the last Dirt game, almost seems like a different series. The only complaint I have so far with it is that it doesn't have enough tracks. I wouldn't even care if they charged for more as DLC, but the game is lacking in that area.

A question for the board... I've never built my own PC before but I've heard how easy it is. I'm mainly thinking that I want to try to since it is supposed to be cheaper. Would $1000 be enough of a budget to put together a decent enough rig to last 4-5 years without getting outdated?

The 5-pack is already up to number 9 on their top sellers list. Either GMG doesn't sell very many games or there are a lot of suckers out there. I think we all know the answer to that, though.

For a thousand bucks, you can definitely build yourself one heck of a PC, with no reason outside of component failure or e-peen jealousy that it won't last you the 4-5 years you're looking for.

I'd just go with a steam machine!

You should be able to do pretty well with that budget. If you have a microcenter near you I would start there as they have some of the best deals around on CPU's.

edit - I just checked microcenter they have a mobo(MSI board) and 4790k bundle for 384.98. 4690k and mobo bundles starting at $295!

Pretty easily. Go over to pcpartpicker.com and play around with some configurations.

I'd also recommend checking out Hardware Swap on Reddit. While I would advise against buying core PC parts used (espc things like PSU), you can sometimes find some steals for brand new parts on there at great prices. GPU wise your best bet is also to go new, but if you want to try and save a little coin, GPUShack.com has some decent deals from time to time on refurbs and has a good reputation, but stock is hit or miss so you just have to look. If you want the best bang out of that grand, you can build a beast by cutting a few corners here and there.

AMD gives you the best bang for your buck.

Graphics cards, sure.

If I'm spending $1,000 I'm not putting an AMD motherboard and CPU in there. It's false economy. They offer six and eight cores like more is better but just like your mom they're all quantity over quality.

I guess it depends on how you define false economy. From my experience, what you pay for an Intel compared to what you would pay for a comparable AMD chip isn't worth the price difference in every day use. Sure if you are making a build for some processor intensive applications, but for every day use and gaming the GFX is the most important thing usually. So for me paying $100s more just because something is "faster" isn't worth the trade off. If $1000 includes monitor, periphs, and PC then the money saved would be better spent somewhere else. If it is just for the PC itself, then sure he could splurge on an Intel chip, but he might be better off waiting until the new generation comes out. Isn't something supposed to come out in the summer?

pcpartpicker is very helpful indeed, thanks a lot for that tip! For PSU and mobos how do I know what is decent or not? I don't want to overpay for something I don't need, but I'm really not sure how to compare them like processors and graphic cards.

Aren't a lot of the new games having problems with AMD? Or is that just the graphic cards? I remember a lot of people with AMD had problems running Dying Light for example but I can't remember if that was a processor or graphic card problem.

I don't really need the monitor since I just plan on hooking it up to my TV, so that's one less expense for me :D/. Mostly just looking at the cost of the tower and the periphs.

Well, I don't know if there is any real data or just a lot of anecdotal stuff to go off of. I was able to run and play Dying Light on an older AMD Chip with a 6000 series card. It wasn't giving me 60FPS but I wasn't expecting it to either.

You'll save some money by building it yourself but the days of getting 50% more for your buck ended back in the 90s and 2000s. There's still excellent reasons to build yourself: You know exactly what components you'll get, you'll feel more comfortable repairing and replacing things on your own and it can be satisfying but there's also completely legitimate reasons to have someone build it for you. A single warranty for the system, not hassling with troubleshooting which part isn't working and not waiting a week or more while an RMA takes place on your faulty PSU. You'll save some money building yourself, especially if you wait on sales for every component, but depending on your financial state there's something to be said for spending the extra $150 and letting someone else deal with it.

I'm a "build it myself" guy but, each time I come across an issue more complicated than forgetting to turn the PSU switch on, I'm reminded why other people just give iBuyPower their credit card number.
