Unless you've got a Micvrocenter near you, you're basically dealing with newegg. what you have is:
-Intel CPU's pretty much never on any serious sale for years. No reason, no competition from AMD.
AMD CPU's are often a good deal, but it's still hard to settle for so much less performance.
-The Litecoin craze has pushed AMD GPU prices sky high. And it's not getting better for many, many weeks now, despite people constantly claiming it'll soon get better. In fact, it's getting worse. Prices just keep going higher and higher that I can tell. Even Nvidia GPU prices have been pushed a little higher I think (because why not if the competition is unaffordable).
RAM prices are also high, high, high!
Few sales, immovable Intel CPU pricing, high RAM and AMD GPU prices....
