Higher end video card deals?
I was hoping to grab a good upgrade for my video card but I'm having trouble finding the great deals I expected. 500$ price point is already pushing it, closer to 400$ would be best but there's a little wiggle room. Using a 1440p monitor so I'm not even considering cards with less than 3GB memory.
I'm a bit put off by the R9 290's heat/noise, waiting for aftermarket cooling would be an option. So mostly I've been browsing the black friday deals for 780gtx. The TIs are outside the price range. Best I've found so far is this; MSI GTX 780 OC with a great cooler for 460$ and three games bundled in, at NCIX, with MIR. Anyone has seen better in the price range?
I'm tempted but not overwhelmed. Is it likely that we see better deals on decent video cards by Cyber Monday? Is boxing day usually better, or even the dead season after the holidays? I'm not in a super hurry.
