The sale includes motherboards, processors, hard drives, RAM, and more.
We’ve sifted through the 20-plus deals on offer to identify our favorite picks.
The heart of any new build is its processor and today Amazon is selling theIntel “Comet Lake” Core i7-10700KF for $290. That’s $70 off the usual price. This CPU packs eight cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.8GHz, and a boost past 5GHz. It’s an excellent processor, especially for gaming, but as it’s an “F” variant it comes without graphics so you’ll need a graphics card to go with this. If you need a motherboard to go with the new processor, there’s a Gigabyte Z490 with Wi-Fi for $140.
Anyone building a budget gaming rig or a family PC that needs a little extra oomph can get 16GB of Crucial DDR4 2666MHz desktop RAM for $40. That’s the all-time low and better than the $57 to $60 it was selling for recently. This is just a single stick, so it’ll be running in single channel mode at a low speed for DDR4. Still, for PCs that aren’t doing a lot of intense gaming this should do nicely—and you can always buy two for a dual-channel setup.
If you want a ton on top of a ton of storage, get the 3.5-inch 10TB Toshiba X300 internal hard drive for $215, the all-time low. This drive often sells closer to $300, and the best price for 2020 before now was around $245 in January. This hard drive spins at 7,200 RPM and has a 256MB cache. It’s an awesome choice as secondary storage for a desktop.
